We have the honor of assisting in bringing Major Cody Khork home today and honoring his sacrifice for our country.
On Wednesday, March 18, 2026, U.S. Army Reserve Major Cody Khork – who was killed in the line of duty serving his country in the Middle East – will return home to Polk County.
Sometime after 1:00 p.m. that afternoon, the Polk County Sheriff’s Office and partnering agencies will es**rt his remains from the Lakeland Linder International Airport to Oak Ridge Funeral Home in Winter Haven. This map illustrates the route – please be advised that traffic along this route will be stopped and/or congested for approximately two hours from the time the procession leaves the airport and arrives in Winter Haven.
Thank you in advance for your patience and respect as we bring Major Khork home for his memorial service.
(Major Cody Khork has been promoted posthumously)
