He graduated from Lena High School and remained living on the DeHut homestead in Oconto, from birth throughout his adult life. Jody greatly enjoyed the outdoors. Both his work and home life allowed him to be outdoors most of the time. Hunting and fishing was a passion and 'way of life' for Jody. He loved traversing the woodlands searching for deer antler sheds. He was known by many as "Chief Jody Lee" and was a light-hearted soul, sharing many laughs and stories with close friends and family. Jody always enjoyed farming and continued to do so with his brothers and nephew on the home farm. He also had a gift for gardening and growing nutritious vegetables, which he generously shared with others. Jody also learned to play the accordion at a young age and music was often a form of entertainment during cold winters on the farm. Most of all, Jody loved animals.
