Cody was smart, funny, and sweet. For the past five years, he and my son have been inseparable—there are hardly any stories or plans my son shares that don’t include Cody. I was always so grateful that my son had such a wonderful friend, and Cody quickly became a cherished part of our lives. His kindness, humor, and warmth touched everyone who knew him, and his absence leaves a space that can never be filled.

Tragically, Cody’s life was cut short in a car accident. The shock and heartbreak have been overwhelming for his family, friends, and everyone who loved him. In the midst of this unimaginable loss, Cody’s family is facing not only the pain of saying goodbye but also the financial burdens that come with such a tragedy. We want to give them the space to grieve and heal, without the added worry of expenses.

I’m reaching out to our community and to anyone who may have known Cody and his family. This is an incredibly difficult time for them, and any support—whether through a donation or by sharing this fundraiser—will help ease their stress and show them they’re not alone. Thank you for helping us honor Cody’s memory and support his family when they need it most.
