This is a post from Mike and Royal Matthews for their son Cody who passed away unfortunately. I personally did not know Cody but after meeting Mike I am sure he was a great young man. My son had the pleasure of knowing him. If anyone came make this event it would be deeply appreciated. Lets show support to Cody's loved ones in a time of need. Life is to short and we take it for granted. A few hours out of your day can make a difference for someone. It looks like it will be a beautiful day weather wise so lets all get together and make Cody proud.
Honoring Cody Matthews:
1-Year Memorial Ride 🕊️
Update.....once the permanent cross is placed at the crash site, if u have no other prio engagements, we will be heading to the Eagles in New waterford for a small get together where there will be drinks and something small to eat! Hope u can join us for laughs, tears and just shared memories of Cody Matthews!!!
Hard to believe it has been a year since we lost Cody. To honor his memory, celebrate his life, and keep his spirit riding with us, we are hosting a Memorial Ride. Everyone is welcome to join—whether you roll on two wheels, four wheels, or just want to show support. Let's gather to remember the laughs, the miles, and the incredible impact Cody left on all of us. At the end of the route, we will gather at the crash site to place a permanent memorial cross in his honor.
