If you knew Cody Trout, you knew quiet strength, sharp wit, deep love for family, and a wholehearted way of living. Born in small-town Kansas, he mixed hard-working grit with an easy-going spirit, loving the Chiefs, traveling, and tackling home projects. In 2021, at 29, Cody was diagnosed with glioblastoma. He fought with courage, enduring surgeries, chemo, and radiation, yet still lived fully — traveling, laughing, and embracing fatherhood. His daughter, Ellie, was his greatest joy, and he treasured every moment with her. Even in hardship, he focused on joy, greeting her with “Hi, baby” until the very end. Cody passed at 33, leaving a legacy of love, resilience, and living with purpose. We run in his honor to raise awareness, fund research, and celebrate a life well lived.
