We as a family must include James Allen Ritchie 53 who raised Cody as his own child starting at age 2. James Allen resides also in Florida.

Cody, as a child loved playing sports and being with his family. From riding bikes to family vacations to Valley Fair in Shakopee MN. Cody was always smiling and willing to go above and beyond for his family and friends.

Cody was/is an amazing person. His life unfair, taken way to soon from those who love him so very much. With the kindest heart and brightest light, he has touched so many. He will never be forgotten and forever in our Hearts.

Cody made sure before he left us to join his family members, waiting with open arms for him in Heaven, that he let his Mother know how much she was loved. By a squeeze of her hand and a look into her eyes, he made sure she knew.

That’s just how amazing Cody was and is. We all are blessed, even though short, that he was with us. Still and always with us.

His family is experiencing the worst kind of pain and heartbreak imaginable. But we know that we will be together, one day again. Cody will be waiting there, with open arms for us.
