Funeral:

Services will be held at 9am Wednesday March 5th at
Our Lady of Guadalupe Church

La Habra, Ca 90631

Remembrances:

In lew of flowers the family requests donations to the Coddington Foundation, which supports programs for mentally challenged and disadvantaged youths, among other causes.

 

In January when we had our GTG at his shop I was a bit upset with him for not showing up to his own open house(first of the year).

Now I feel bad and wonder if him not showing has anything to do with him dying.

Some of the cars in his shop were AMAZING! We lost a AWSOME car guy.

Here is the article I found:

R.I.P. BOYD

 

Thread already started........

 

He was hospitalized once or twice in January.

 

RIP

May the Hot Rod Gods welcome you with open arms


He will be with Roy Shmidt in hot rod haven building a pope hot rod

 

Wow and to think, It was never on the news....I think this man was awesome and I dont care how he treated his employees he is still an amazing creator of everything in the hot rod world...His designs were amazing along with his ideas... I dont care what anyone says, but I have nothing against him thought that he actually did a lot for the car industry....Plus any of you that think that he was worthless and only built cars, well lets see you do it and be successful!!!! GOD BLESS THE CODDINGTON FAMILY (R.I.P. MAN)

 

The only thing I saw on the TV about it was a "In Memory of Boyd Coddington" at the end of this past weeks showing of American Chopper on TLC.
