Cody Reynolds-Sylvia

On August 31, 2024, Cody passed away at the age of 25. He was a graduate of GNBVT in 2017. Cody was truly remarkable. He had a heart full of adventure to explore the world. He was filled with kindness, and the spirit of love that he shared with everyone he met. He persevered to overcome obstacles, and was selfless to the end by being an organ donor. He had an infectious enthusiasm and support for family and friends and was never judgmental. Always wanting to connect, love and be loved. He created fond memories with smiles and laughter for his friends and family. Cody had the biggest heart with a genuine love for animals. 

He was always willing to support other people and anyone less fortunate. Cody was passionate, had a quick wit and so much ingenuity - he always found a way to make things work. Cody was always ready to embrace a game of basketball or engage in a good political conversation. He was always ready to throw together a last-minute vacation with friends. Making lasting memories for all. He had so many interests. Cody enjoyed motorcycles, old cars, or day fishing trips and walks with his best bud -Rambo. His selflessness was like no other. Cody’s organ donation has saved the lives of five people including a one-year old girl. This was the true Cody we all knew, loved, and will always remember.

 He is the beloved son, and only child of Terry Reynolds. Cody is the nephew of Gale Reynolds, Richard Reynolds and his wife Lillian and the grandson of the late Galen and Hope Reynolds.

He is also survived by his father, David Gene Sylvia and wife Alissa. His siblings are Jessica, David and Ryan Sylvia. The stepsiblings are Nicole and Michael Lourenco. His Uncle is Scott Sylvia, his wife, Gina, and cousin Brooke. He is the grandson of David and Thelma Sylvia. He was the proud uncle of Jacob Sylvia, Jessica’s son.

In Cody’s memory: Never miss the opportunity to say I love you, give a hug or a strong handshake. Just let people know you care.

A memorial service will be planned for a future date.
