Cody Cihlar

Cody’s decision to be an organ donor is one of the most beautiful parts of his legacy. In the midst of heartbreak and unimaginable loss, we honored his wishes, and through that selfless gift, he gave others a second chance at life.

That was Cody — loving, generous, and always thinking of others. Even after he was gone, he continued to give in the most profound way possible. While the pain of losing him will never fully leave us, there is comfort in knowing that his life brought hope, healing, and life to so many others.

We miss Cody more than words can ever express. Not a day goes by that we do not think of him, love him, and wish he were still here with us. But we are so proud of him and the incredible gift he gave. His kindness did not end with his life — it lives on in the people he helped save.

Cody will always be remembered with deep love. His life mattered, his gift mattered, and his memory will live on forever.
