How Harris County Deputy John Coddou’s wife honored her husband at his funeral

– Harris County Deputy John Coddou’s wife talked about her husband with laughter and tears at his funeral Wednesday. Coddou was killed in the line of duty April 30, 2024 while he was working a minor accident and a driver swerved and hit him, killing him.

He’d later admit that there was only one reason he would visit the office so frequently and do pushups before heading to the pool.John was always looking to make connections when meeting new people, trying to find a commonality. He never knew a stranger. He’d often start conversations by asking people where they’re from. He’d go on to talk about how he grew up and went to Pilgrim Lutheran, a private school, until about eighth grade.

So instead of reenlisting he wanted to come back home to Houston to see his little brother grow up, Chris is about 6 or 7 at the time. Jonathan spoke with pride about his contributions to the opening of the Pappasito’s Sugar Land, also known amongst the alumni as CO’s Three, where he was a bartender. Here’s where he thrived and his innate ability to entertain, serve and provide hospitality that he demonstrated through his entire life.

To the Harris County Sheriff’s Office, family, all LEOs and first responders, thank you all for what you selflessly do day in and day out. And without hesitation, John was honored and proud to serve along each of you and to be part of your family,
