DaKody was born February 14, 2007 in Center, Texas, and died Wednesday, January 4, 2023 in Lufkin.

The jack of all trades in our family bunch was our baby boy DaKody Hall. Not many ran into him and didn’t love him from the minute he started talking. It was hard not to take any type of feeling towards him because of how sweet, loving, appreciative, and blessful he was and it showed. DaKody was only 15 with a whole life full of nothing but goals and the ambition to achieve every one. His father (Cleveland “Bobo” Payne) was his number one role model and who he valued to be as he continued to grow as a man before our eyes. The young man he was becoming had a strong walk in faith and was our motivation. He loved his family and prayed for them every day he could.

DaKody loved Lufkin High School as a second home, the weight room to be exact. He played football and did powerlifting. His smile was contagious and his personality was infectious on anyone who encountered him anytime during his period of attending Lufkin ISD.

DaKody cherished his momma (Karmen Hall) more than anything in the world and his older siblings (Lazarreya, Kar’licia, Telyhia and Carl) came right after. We’re hurting deeply right now but this is a celebration none the less for DaKody Hall so please cherish the good memories with us for him and remember it’s never goodbye, it’s see you later.

Sincerely, his family.
