David A. Codman

David A. Codman, 66, of New Carlisle, IN, passed away at 9:41 p.m. Sunday, September 13, 2026 at Millers Merry Manor in New Carlisle, IN.

He was born on November 9, 1959 to the late Edward R. “Russ” and Viola M. (Miller) Codman in South Bend, IN, and has lived most of his life in the New Carlisle and Hudson Lake area. Along with his parents, he was preceded in death by a sister, Diane Sebasty.

David is survived by his brother, Daniel (Shirley) Codman of Florida; and by many friends.

David was an especially gentle and innocent man. When asked earlier in his dying process whether it is true that everyone loved him, he responded “I think so”. He was not one to quibble. He lived in this happy state of affairs his whole life: while growing up in his grandmother’s store and ice cream stand, The Bluebird, on Hudson Lake, while attending the many sporting events at his New Prairie High School, during his meanderings around New Carlisle as an adult, and since 2015, in the activity room at Millers Merry Manor.

He was a member of the New Carlisle Community Church, where he volunteered at the food pantry. David was an avid Chicago Cubs fan.

Funeral services will be held at 12:00 p.m. EDT Thursday, September 24, 2026 at the New Carlisle Community Church, 201 W. Michigan Street, New Carlisle, IN. Friends and family may visit one hour prior to services at the church. A private burial will take place in New Carlisle Cemetery.
