Cody was born on February 2, 1973 in Newcastle, Wyoming to Emiel Andrew Raben and Laura Dee (Goode) Raben. As a young boy he spent happy days on his grandparents, Bud and Evelyn Raben’s ranch in Sioux County. He worked in grandma's garden and helped grandpa with the cows, fences, fixing things, teaching the cats to take a bath, and learning that dogs take baths but cats don't. Cody attended and graduated from Crawford High School. He played football and basketball. High school was where Cody met and cherished life long friendships. He attended and earned a degree in auto body repair from WyoTec in Laramie, Wyoming. Cody worked construction, landscaping, and in the energy field of Wyoming. Landscaping was by far his favorite profession. In Sheridan, Wyoming he met and married Wendy Watson. To this union two children were born, Sadie Anne Watson and Levi Andrew Raben.
