He lived in California for a short time before moving to Missouri around 1952 with his parents and younger brother, J.C. These brothers later welcomed Dan (Tank) and Cathy to their home.

The family moved around during his younger years, but Tom spent his high school years running around Grant City before graduating with the Worth County class of 1965. He chose to extend his educational career by going onto University of Kansas. He was a Jay Hawk fan then and continued throughout his life. That education career lasted all of one semester before he went out into the world to work.

Tom started working for Berkel & Company in 1968 and continued with this company for the next 46 years, until his retirement in 2014. He was an excellent crane operator, when not running the jobs. In the 1970’s, Berkel & Company was performing many projects in South Florida, which eventually led to opening the first Regional Office outside of the Kansas City Office. Tom was the lead, Number 1, Job Superintendent on these projects, and agreed to relocate his family to Florida as the Region grew. He became a big part of the Company’s growth in the Southeast. Tom was involved in hundreds of Berkel & Company projects during his career across the United States as well as supervising projects on an international level outside of the country. Tom mentored many people during his time with Berkel & Co. He was a very easy-going man and liked by anyone who ever met him.

They lived in the Kansas City area before moving to Florida. They had Melissa and Jeffrey completing their family. Tom and Sheryl celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary on October 20th, 2023.

Tom loved watching football, but especially college football. He spent many hours watching and cheering. He was a big fan of the Kansas City Chiefs, even though they were not colleges, he cheered avidly and loved the fact of winning Super Bowls. Tom will be remembered for his dedicated work and his avid love for fishing. He was happy to go fishing anyplace in the world, but especially enjoyed it in Everglade City. His love for this was so much so that he and Sheryl purchased a home in Everglade City when he retired. It was perfect for him, and it was known as Paradise. He wanted to share his love for fishing with everyone he knew. His stories often started with “Dude, you should of saw the size of that Snook.”

Cody Ray Hersh - September 25, 1987 - November 23, 2023

Departed: 11/23/2023 (Grant City)

Obituary Preview: Cody Ray Hersh had the most organized wood shed in the world. Perhaps not, but at least in Nodaway County.

On Thursday, November 23, 2023, Cody passed from this life into eternal rest.

Cody was born on September 25, 1987 to Allen and Carol (Collins) Hersh in Maryville. From an early age Cody displayed a love and talent for baseball that was passed down from several generations of Hersh men. He also loved helping his mom and dad work with the sheep, hogs, cows, and Pyrenees pups on their farm in his rattlesnake cowboy boots with his beloved dog, Alex, by his side. In April of 2001, his sister Jacklyn, joined the family.

Cody attended school in Maryville, and graduated in 2006. Upon his graduation he began working for his father in law doing carpentry. Cody continued to hone his carpentry skills as he assisted his parents and sister maintaining various rental properties and jobs. Eventually, Cody began his own carpentry business working on drywall, painting, and small remodels. If Cody was doing a job, he wanted to make sure it was done right.

On May 11, 2013, Cody married his high school sweetheart, Meghan Conley at Laura Street Baptist Church. Together they shared ten years of marriage filled with gardening, home remodels, long lake stays, hunting, and countless trips to J’s Pizza and Steakhouse.

While 36 years is not enough time, it was enough time to see that if Cody knew you, you knew Cody. Cody loved his people well and deeply. He may have seemed gruff and tough on the outside, but really he had a heart of gold. You may have found him playing with his nieces and nephews, taking them fishing, dunking them in the lake, or just simply hanging out. He wanted to serve others and had the privilege of doing so in many different ways through church, school, his work, and life in general.

Cody was passionate about being a steward for the land, and learning new ways to garden, create food plots for optimal hunting, cutting wood for his wood boiler, or using his skid steer. This past summer, Cody spent lots of time at the lake, and nearly every night you would find him with a fishing pole and a bonfire. Two of his favorite summer things. Each November, Cody would be hunting on the family farm with his dad, Allen, and Cousin Erik, making countless memories as they camped out and waited to bag the big one.

Cody was preceded in death by his maternal grandparents, Richard and Kathleen Collins; uncle, Marvin Miller; and cousin, Alexander Cornelius.

Left behind to mourn his passing, are his wife, Meghan; his father and mother, Allen and Carol Hersh, his sister Jacklyn; paternal grandparents, Butch and Rita Kay Hersh of Ravenwood, MO; Uncle Keith (Tonya) Hersh of Granbury, TX; Aunt Annette (Donald) Huffaker of Rea, MO; Uncle Jim (Carolyn) Collins, Aunt Carmen Larabee of Maryville; Georgia Miller of Lenox, IA; Aunt Joan (Martin) Hemenway of Rogers, AR; Parents-in-law, Bill and Lila Conley of Pickering, MO; and sisters-in-law Amanda (Jason) Wiederholt of Maryville, Patricia (Kolby) Marriott of Braddyville, IA; and Maddison Conley of Maryville; nieces and nephews, Mariah, Rylen and Brayson Wiederholt; Quincy and Hayes Marriott, and Emilynn (Emmy) Allen; cousins Jeremiah and Jedidiah Larabee, Suzanne Sulzer, Brandie Huisman , Collin Hemenway, Jullian Doyle, Alana Armstrong, Dalton Huffaker, Taylor Hersh, and Erik and Elliott Cornelius; and numerous other family and friends.
