It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Kody Townsend, a bright and curious 10-year-old from Chicago, Illinois. Kody brought joy and laughter to all those around him with his infectious smile and playful nature. His curiosity and love for learning were evident in everything he did, from exploring the world around him to asking insightful questions that challenged those he interacted with. Kody's kind and gentle spirit touched the lives of many, and his absence will be deeply felt by all who knew him. May he rest in peace, forever remembered and cherished.
