Cody Devontae Johnson

Cody Devontae Johnson, 27, was a Memphis resident whose life was rooted in the neighborhoods of southeast Memphis. Public records and the Memphis Police Department confirm that Cody passed away on June 3, 2025. While formal, family-published obituary material matching his name and that date was not found in the public record, available sources make clear that Cody was known locally and that his death drew the attention of family members, neighbors, and community responders.

From the limited public facts available, Cody appears as a young man whose life intersected with the people and places of his community. He lived in the Newcastle Apartments area on Birch Lake Drive, and neighbors and local services were among those who responded in the hours after his death. Those local ties — an apartment home, neighbors, and the everyday routines of work and friendship that accompany life in a neighborhood — suggest a life embedded in ordinary, meaningful relationships.

Although detailed personal information such as schooling, employment, or specific hobbies was not located in reliable public notices, it is important to recognize Cody as a person first: someone with family and friends who will remember his presence, voice, and the small acts of care that marked his days. The public record shows that his death prompted outreach from law enforcement seeking information, reflecting concern among those who knew or saw him in the community and among those who wanted answers.

In the absence of a family-authorized memorial notice available online, this remembrance honors what is verifiable and what must remain private: Cody’s identity, his age, and the fact that his life mattered to others. For those who hold him in memory, may this short tribute acknowledge that Cody Devontae Johnson was a real person whose life and connections deserve respect and dignity beyond the circumstances of his passing. Anyone with memories, photographs, or reflections they wish to preserve on a memorial page should consider reaching out to his family or local funeral homes to ensure those personal remembrances are recorded with care.
