You have been a model of compassion, vision, and truth. My heart goes out to you during this time.

what a tragic loss. You and your family are in my heart. His legacy lives on in you. 
With love,

Losing your father is like losing a huge oak tree and the ground from which it grew all at once. There is just this meteor-sized crater where he should be. May the immense pain at the loss eventually give way to immeasurable joy in all you have shared. 
A huge hug to you,

My heart goes out to you, your mom, Kyle, and Theresa, who I remember as a four-year-old. Growing up around the corner, I have such fond, vivid memories of hanging out with you and your family endlessly in 6th and 7th grades. That house and family were formative. And what came through most clearly about Cody was his essential decency, an aura that was gentle and engaging, warm and cool at the same time (in the best sense of both terms). He just had something that made people want to be around him (plus VERY cool cars), not super common when it’s your childhood friend’s parents! He’ll be sorely missed, but all this lives on in the family he leaves behind, and the many people touched by his life. 
Warmly,

My family grieves with yours.  Your Dad will always be a bright star in the Philly Constellation.

I still have vivid memories of him from when we were little. I thought he was the coolest man alive. I remember you two picking me up in the mornings and taking me to school back in the second grade, comforting me (somewhat) when I got glasses for the first time. I remember he used to pitch to your little league team overhand when all the other dads pitched underhand - and you guys were the best! 

He was larger than life to me back then. 

My dad passed away 4 years ago. I know your pain Bill. My thoughts are with you. 

Much love,

I only remember seeing him occasionally in our classroom in elementary school when he came to pick you up or whatever, but I certainly knew of his reputation at WURD, which is an awesome institution. Anyway, losing a dad is hard, and I hope you're OK.

I am so sorry to hear this sad news. My heart goes out to you and your family. Keeping you all in my thoughts.

My sincere condolences,

We are better off for it and his impact will live on in the hearts ands souls of the many that Cody touched. One of which is me, and I imagine countless others. Peace, love, strength, and unity.

Growing up I got glimpses of your dad and the impressive figure he cut. He was the epitome of cool and may have worn that Kangol even better than you did! I am so sorry for your loss. There is no real consolation at this time other than the appreciation for the relationship you had, and it's obvious the impact he had on your life, how he helped you be the man you are today. And isn't that every parent's most important job? The added bonus is the incredible influence he had on so many others. All my love my friend
