Kody was a beloved son, brother, and partner whose deep love for his family was evident in everything he did. He shared a particularly close bond with his younger brother, Bryan, encouraging him, protecting him, and serving as a role model in countless ways. Friends recall Kody’s infectious enthusiasm for life—
whether he was exploring the outdoors, finding excitement in everyday moments, or simply spending time with loved ones. His adventurous spirit reflected a heart full of passion, curiosity, and optimism.His sudden passing has left his family navigating immense grief while also trying to manage the unexpected financial burdens associated with funeral expenses.
In response, loved ones have created a fundraiser to help honor Kody’s life and ensure that Bryan, who looked up to Kody with immense admiration, continues to receive the support and opportunities he deserves. The family hopes to preserve Kody’s legacy by securing a bright future for Bryan, just as Kody would have wanted.
As the Cherry Hill community comes together in compassion, they reflect on the joy, humor, and love that Kody so freely shared.
