It is with an extremely heavy heart we have to post this. Sgt Siebert passed away yesterday, less than 24 hours after being diagnosed with a brain infection. His passing was unexpected for everyone. Sgt Siebert was well known for his happy-go lucky personality. It was best said that if you couldn’t get along with Cody, it was your fault.
