Hello friends, family, neighbors and service men and women! My name is Lee Anne Allen and I am sorrowfully starting this gofundme for my dearest friend Jill Jongeward in order to help her pay for the funeral costs needed for the tragic, sudden loss of her beautiful 22 year old son, Cody Strong.

Cody was an amazing young man that was loved by so very many. He proudly served in the United States Army National Guard for 3 active years, and was still enlisted in the reserves. His unexpected passing on Friday April 17, 2026 has hit the lives of everyone who knew him and hearts are weighing so very heavy. Together let us help lessen the burden for Jill and her family, and pull together to help her in providing the funeral that Cody deserves. Let's make sure that money isn't a worry, so their time can be spent celebrating and honoring Cody. Thank you so much and may God Bless you all!✝️
