Coddington had been hospitalized in January, shortly after New Years 2007 following a fall at his home.[6] He was discharged, but complained of continuing complications and was readmitted just a few days later to Presbyterian Intercommunity Hospital in suburban Whittier, California. After being readmitted, doctors performed surgery and Boyd was expected to make a complete recovery. Coddington died on February 27, 2008. His publicist, Brad Fanshaw, stated that Coddington was a long-time diabetic who died from complications that were brought on from a recent surgery.[7]

R.I.P. I liked his show, cars even more.

Even though the deadlines were rediculous and stress high, he still seemed like he'd be a really cool guy to work for. Always seemed like he treated his employees like family. He reminded me alot of the boss of my first job, where you truly felt guilty if you let him down. He had alot of talent and cool ideas, bummer he's gone.
