With heavy hearts, our family is navigating an unimaginable loss as we say goodbye to Koby — a man who was truly one of a kind.

Koby was so many things to so many people. He was a loving father, a devoted son, a protective brother, and a loyal friend. He was the guy who could make you laugh when you needed it most — a total goofball with a heart bigger than anyone realized. Koby found peace on the water. He loved fishing, mushroom hunting, anything outdoors, and most of all spending time with family. Koby lived life with a genuine spirit that left a mark on everyone he met.

The void his passing has left is impossible to put into words. Our family is grieving again, while also facing the sudden and unexpected emotional and financial challenges that come with such a sudden loss. This fundraiser is meant to help ease the loss for his family as we lay Koby to rest and support his loved ones during this incredibly difficult time. My aunt Amy has endured enough laying one child to rest, let alone another. Let’s please rally together and show her she’s not alone and help ease this tragedy as much as we possibly can.

If you’re able to donate, please know that any amount — no matter how small — is deeply appreciated. If you can’t donate, sharing this page or keeping our family (especially Amy, Isaih, Jon, Keilana, and Zeelyn) in your thoughts and prayers means just as much as this is a very traumatic feeling for our family.

Thank you for loving Koby, remembering him, and helping us honor the beautiful life he lived. He will forever be missed, always loved, and never forgotten.
