John Coddington

Our son, John, loved adventure. He was ready at a moment’s notice to head out for the week, weekend, or just an afternoon.  John was unexpectedly called from this world into eternity on August 21st, 2020, at the age of 11.  We were completely undone.  

We were incredibly grateful when Bill and Jenna reached out to us through Peyton’s Smile.  This has been a year of grieving and healing.  The coming year will be a year of learning to live and honor John’s memory.  We will never forget our daughter, Nadia’s, smile when we told her that there were people who wanted to send us on a vacation as a way to love and support us.  

We are planning a trip to Hawaii in September.  Each and every day, we will miss John’s love for life, adventure and sense of humor...yet be strengthened by your generosity in supporting us to continue to live, love, and “find a way to smile.”

“And so for a time it seemed that all adventures were to come to an end; but that was not to be.”
