We are saddened to announce the passing of Cody Ritchie, born on 01/17/1990 in Minneapolis, Minnesota, United States.

Cody was the beloved son of Rick Ritchie and Louann Byrd. He is survived by his partner, Emily Smith, and their two beautiful children, Cora Smith and Sophia Smith.

Cody had a dream of starting his own pressure washing company, but his true passion was creating miniature models of modes of transportation. He could spend hours meticulously putting together tiny trains, planes, and automobiles.

Tragically, Cody's life was cut short when he was struck by a drunk driver. He will be deeply missed by his family, friends, and the community he so greatly impacted.
