He was a lifelong resident of "The Lands" and received his education from Richlands High School. After graduation, Dacoda went to work as a contract welder with his father.

Dacoda was known for his warm heart and outgoing personality. He was a people person, truly never meeting a stranger. He would engage in long conversations with someone he only just met. Had a great love of animals, especially for his cats. He loved to eat, even though you couldn't tell it by looking at him! He enjoyed spending time with his dad, especially going fishing. Playing video games with his nephews was one of his favorite things to do. He loved nature and exploring the outdoors and relished the peace it brought. He would spend hours putting puzzles together. He absolutely loved going to the movies and looked forward to seeing the horror movie of the moment. He was a voracious reader, everything from classics to comics, and loved sharing what he had learned with others.
