To know Nelson five minutes was to remember him forever. He was fun and funny, always laughing and playing practical jokes, always the life of the party, even if there wasn't one. He had a great passion for golf, which he shared most often with his sister and a passion for filling his life with stories that he shared most often with his brother and friends. His love for bowling was shared with his sons, whom he consistently beat, coining the phrase "Touchdown, Nelly!" He loved to go out to eat and try new restaurants, taking his family along as much as possible to make the experience all the better. Above all else, his greatest passion was loving his family. There were no limits to how much he loved. As a grandfather, father, husband, brother, uncle and friend, he was greatly loved and appreciated and will be greatly missed. He was preceded in death by his parents. Survivors include his wife Debbie; his stepfather, Tibor Stern of Amarillo; two sons, Bob Canode and wife Adelinda and Ryan Canode and wife Elise and their mother, K'Lynn Kiihn, all of Amarillo; a sister, Susan Summer and husband Paul of Amarillo; a brother, Howard Canode and wife Ru of Denver; two stepdaughters, Brittany Rodriguez and husband Valde of Canyon and Kimberly Brooke of Amarillo; two nephews, James Canode and wife Yukiko of Fairlawn, Ohio, and Andrew Summer of Amarillo; a niece, Alyssa Thomas and husband John of Centennial, Colo.; and he was known as "Pops" to eight grandchildren, Andrew, Christian, Isaac, Kylee, Bennie, Noah, Christina and Vanessa.
