Cody Rhodes (Stardust on WWE TV) published on Twitter the eulogy he read at Wednesday's funeral for his father, Dusty Rhodes.



It was Cody's first tweet since last Tuesday - the day before Dusty fell in his home and two days before Dusty died.



Cody wrote about Dusty, the person, husband, father, coach, and family-man. Which all tied in with pro wrestling being Dusty's means of providing security and a home for his family.



"You were a cowboy of the old-republic, the last bastion of Southern wrestling. A master orator who spit fire, but if the question was ever posed to you ... what would you rather have, fame or family? Family. Always family. Getting over with your family and extended family trumped all. You were a world-class family man," Cody wrote.



Cody also wrote about Dusty's reputation for finding weaknesses in wrestlers and turning them into their strengths, a nod to himself as a pudgy, over-weight wrestler who didn't "look the part" of a physically-fit pro wrestler.



"He liked to fix things," Cody wrote. "A propensity for misfit toys...broken people. If you were over-weight, or covered in tattoos, or having just been through a divorce, he wanted to take your pain and make it your power. To arm you with weapons for your profession."



Cody talked about Dusty's love for the NXT roster and working at the Performance Center, plus additional topics related to pro wrestling. But, mainly, Cody wrote about Dusty's love for family.
