It says "Coddington who was a long-time diabetic died from complications that were brought on from a recent surgery"

I got to meet Boyd once when I was shooting some stuff at SEMA. He seemed like a great guy in that short time, and who couldn't love some of his creations, especially from the early years. May he R.I.P
