Major had double leg amputation in 2018 but he didn’t allow that to stop him. As we all knew Major(MC)Cody
He continued live his life as if he had never lost his legs. He would curse you out, but told you he loved you in the same breathe. He would get kicked out of stores but was welcomed with open arms the next day.  He was as harmless as a fly as they would say, with his hat cocked to the side and walk you couldn’t forget.
