🐾Cody Bear Whitten🐾
February 11th, 2009 - July 15th, 2025

Surrounded by his family and held close in the arms of love, Cody passed on after more than 16 beautiful years of unconditional devotion, fierce loyalty, and quiet, healing companionship. He was so much more than a pet—he was Brent Whitten’s constant, his comfort, and his heart dog.

Cody stood by his dad through some of life’s hardest storms, especially over these past four years, when the weight of loss and hardship felt unbearable. Through it all, Cody never wavered. He was always there—laying quietly by Brent’s side when words fell short, offering comfort that didn’t need explanation. In Cody’s steady presence, Brent found strength. In Cody’s eyes, he found peace.

He had a remarkable gift for sensing pain, always placing himself right in the heart of it—whether by curling up beside you, resting his head in your lap, or simply refusing to leave your side. He helped carry the burden when it grew too heavy and celebrated even the smallest joys, making the darkest days brighter with his gentle, intuitive spirit.

Cody’s happiest place was always right up under his daddy—riding to job sites, watching Bama games, or simply being wherever Brent was. He was also a loyal and loving big brother to his human siblings: Morgan, Paislee, and Jack Whitten. He adored them fiercely and protected them with the same devoted heart that guided him throughout his life. At home, he shared his days with his fur siblings, Marlee and Dolly Whitten, who brought him companionship and comfort in his later years.

If Brent was eating something, Cody wasn’t far—especially if there were Cheez-Its involved.

He was deeply loved by his grandparents, Judy and Anthony Akridge, and by everyone who ever had the privilege of feeling the warmth of his presence.

The bond between Cody and his dad was unbreakable—rooted in love, tested by life, and sealed by a loyalty that never faltered. Their connection wasn’t just special; it was sacred.

Cody’s soul will remain forever etched on the hearts of Brent, Morgan, Paislee, Jack, and all who loved him. Though he’s no longer physically by their side, the love they shared lives on—stronger than ever, eternal, and unshakable.

Rest well, sweet boy.
You were everything.
And you always will be—Loved BIG.

Sophie Riley
September 13, 2009 – July 9, 2025

Sophie Riley, a spirited and loyal Yorkie/MinPin mix, passed away peacefully on July 9, 2025, after nearly 16 beautiful years of love and companionship. Born in Coffee County, Alabama, on September 13, 2009, Sophie spent her life bringing warmth, laughter, and fierce devotion to her family.

Raised in Newville, Alabama, Sophie was the treasured daughter of Charlene Riley and the late Dan Riley, who preceded her in passing in December of 2022. The two are now joyfully reunited, undoubtedly sharing a walk together once again.

Sophie was small in size but mighty in personality—clever, sassy, and always ready to let you know how she felt. Her favorite indulgence was a good Pupperoni Stick, and she could always be counted on to beg for just one more with those expressive eyes and unwavering determination.

More than anything, Sophie was a devoted companion. She offered her love unconditionally, her presence a steady comfort in both joyful moments and quiet ones. She had a way of making every space feel like home and every day a little brighter.

Sophie will be forever missed by those who loved her most. Her memory lives on in the hearts of her beloved mom, Charlene, and in all who were lucky enough to know her sweet and spunky soul.

Addison Louise Gates
November 9, 2014 – July 9, 2025

Addison Louise Gates, affectionately known as “Addie,” crossed the Rainbow Bridge on July 9, 2025, surrounded by love and comfort. Born in Pinson, Alabama, on November 9, 2014, Addie brought more than a decade of joy, companionship, and unconditional love to those lucky enough to know her.

A cherished Mini Teddy Bear Goldendoodle, Addie faithfully served in her lifelong role as protector, snuggle partner, and constant source of affection to her devoted guardian, Leah Gates. She took her job seriously—showering Leah with kisses, comforting her through life’s ups and downs, and ensuring that no moment went without warmth or companionship.

Addie spent most of her life in Birmingham, where she created countless memories over nine years before relocating to Headland for her final year and a half. Wherever she called home, Addie brought light, laughter, and a gentle spirit.

For six wonderful years, Addie shared her home and heart with her beloved roommates and best friends: Aunt Watters and Ellie, a golden retriever who became like a sister. Together, they made a tight-knit trio, full of play, comfort, and the kind of love that only grows with time.

Though she had many toys, Addie’s favorite thing in the world was the loving touch and attention of her mom. She had a particular fondness for turkey jerky and cheddar cheese, always accepting treats with a wag and a sparkle in her eyes. Her sweet nature and intuitive soul made her beloved by all, especially her grandparents, Cindy and Steve Gates, who adored her deeply.

Addie was more than a pet—she was a confidante, a healer, and a quiet, joyful presence through all seasons of life. She had an uncanny ability to sense emotions, often curling up beside someone who needed comfort, or dancing excitedly at the sound of a familiar voice. From morning routines to long, cozy evenings on the couch, Addie made ordinary moments unforgettable.

Addie’s paw prints will remain forever etched on the hearts of those who loved her. Her memory will be cherished every day, and the bond she shared with Leah will never be broken.

In Loving Memory of Nacho Glover
🐾 The Sweetest Dog That Ever Was 🐾

With heavy hearts and endless love, we say goodbye to Nacho — his family’s best friend, constant companion, and the sweetest dog that ever was. Born February 4, 2022, it was love at first wag. Crossing the rainbow 🌈 bridge on July 8, 2025 he leaves behind a family that loved him beyond words.

Nacho brought joy in the smallest moments and comfort in the hardest ones. With soulful eyes, a wagging tail, and a heart full of loyalty, he loved without condition and lived with boundless gentleness. Nacho reminded us every day what pure, unconditional love looks like.

He had a way of sensing when we needed him most — laying his head on a knee, nudging a hand, or just being near. To know Nacho was to feel known, accepted, and loved in return.
Though his time with us was far too short, the love he gave us — and the love we gave him — will echo for a lifetime. The pawprints he left on our hearts will never fade.

Run free now, Nacho. Chase butterflies, roll in the grass, and nap in sunbeams. You were, and always will be, the bestest boy.
Forever loved. Never forgotten.�🐾💛end

Oliver “Ollie” Whatley

Oliver Whatley, fondly known as Ollie, crossed the rainbow bridge on Tuesday, July 1, 2025, at the age of 11. A devoted Shetland Sheepdog, Ollie passed away peacefully at his home in Headland, Alabama.

Born on May 8, 2014, in Lexington, North Carolina, Ollie quickly grew into the role he cherished most — a loyal companion. Whether greeting visitors at the door or simply being his mother’s constant shadow, Ollie was a warm and steady presence in the lives of Kathryn and Hunter Whatley.

Ollie was a proud brother to Mahi (his dog brother), and to his human siblings, Jon Page and Ellie, who will forever remember his gentle nature and loving heart. He was a quiet guardian of joy, always nearby with a tail wag or a nudge when comfort was needed.

In his younger years, Ollie delighted in squeaky toys and playful romps. As he grew older, his focus shifted to the finer things in life — greenies, bones, apples, and most especially, puppuccinos. These little treats were moments of pure joy for him, and anyone who shared one with Ollie was treated to his signature look of gratitude and contentment.

Ollie lived his days with calm devotion and quiet grace, always watching over his family with the deep, unwavering love that only a dog can give. His pawprints will remain on the hearts of those who knew and loved him.

Roxie Hodgkins

Roxie Hodgkins, a cherished feline companion and beloved member of the Hodgkins family, passed away on June 19, 2025. She was at least nine years old.

Roxie first appeared at Pam Hodgkins’ back door in 2018, a quiet guardian with three tiny kittens in tow. That day marked the beginning of a beautiful chapter — one of love, trust, and family. Pam welcomed Roxie and her little ones into her heart and home, and they never looked back.

A nurturing and attentive mother, Roxie raised her kittens — Felix, Frank, and her ever-loyal favorite, Junior — with grace and patience. The family grew over time to include extended feline kin: Iris, Jackson, Edie, and Leila, all of whom will miss her presence deeply.

Roxie found joy in simple pleasures. She adored the garden and spent countless peaceful mornings strolling its paths alongside Pam, taking in the day’s first light. With Junior never far from her side, Roxie led her family with quiet strength and gentle affection.

Her absence leaves a profound void in the lives of those she touched — both human and feline. But her spirit lives on in the garden she loved, the family she built, and the hearts of those who were lucky enough to know her.

Rest well, sweet Roxie. You were deeply loved.

Gabby, a beloved Shih Tzu, was born on December 21, 2014, in Abbeville, Alabama. For over a decade, she brought warmth and companionship to her guardian, Kathy Olmsted, and shared her days with her dog brother, Grunt, and cat sisters, Kitty and Jewel.

Treetop Lueck

Wright Pet Crematory joins Ella, Felice, and all who loved Treetop in honoring the life of this extraordinary Neotropical Blue & Gold Macaw.

Treetop’s story began in Atlanta, where she was first spotted high in the trees by friends of Ella and Charlie Lueck — earning the name “Treetop.” Those friends welcomed her into their lives for 10 wonderful years. When they later moved to Florida and could not take her along, Treetop found her forever home with Ella and Charlie. For the next 29 cherished years, she was a treasured part of the Lueck family, a source of joy, comfort, and vibrant presence. Together, they made the journey to Headland, Alabama, where Ella and Charlie opened the beloved El Dorado Steakhouse.

After Charlie’s passing in 2016, Treetop remained a loyal and loving companion to Ella, her constant feathered friend through the years.

Her favorite treats included cheese and crackers, steak, and any nut she could get her beak on. Treetop’s playful spirit shone through in her love of tearing up old cardboard boxes, turning the simplest things into endless fun.

Treetop shared her days with her feathered sister, Felice, and will be remembered not only as a pet but as a beloved family member whose vibrant personality and companionship brightened the lives of all who knew her. Having spent 10 years with family friends and 29 years with Ella and Charlie, we know she blessed this world for at least 39 remarkable years.

May Treetop now soar freely, forever part of the skies she so loved.
