It is with broken hearts and deep sorrow that we announce the passing of Cody Warbington, who left this world far too soon on May 21, 2025, at just 15 years old. Born and raised in Bartlett, Illinois, Cody was a shining light in the lives of everyone who knew them — a beloved child, a loyal friend, a curious learner, and a soul wise beyond their years.
From an early age, Cody exhibited a warmth and kindness that drew people in. Whether it was offering a helping hand to classmates, cheering up a friend with a joke, or simply sitting with someone who needed a listening ear, Cody had a rare gift for making others feel seen, heard, and valued. Their vibrant energy was matched only by their quiet courage, and they approached life with a sense of wonder, compassion, and thoughtfulness that left a lasting impression on all who crossed their path.
Cody was an active member of the Bartlett community. Whether on the soccer field, in the classroom, or participating in school events, they gave their all, not for recognition, but for the joy of being part of something bigger. Teachers remember Cody for their curiosity and integrity, peers for their loyalty and sense of humor, and family for the unconditional love and joy they brought into their lives every single day.
Their passions were as diverse as their talents — Cody loved nature, music, gaming, and spending time with their close-knit group of friends and family. These moments, simple and shared, are now treasured memories: evenings spent laughing over video games, long talks during walks through the neighborhood, spontaneous dance parties in the kitchen, and the comfort of a familiar smile that could light up even the darkest day.
Cody’s absence leaves a space that can never be filled. Yet in their passing, they continue to bring people together — in grief, yes, but also in love, remembrance, and reflection. The strength and kindness they embodied will ripple through the lives of those who knew them, inspiring acts of compassion and moments of courage in their honor.
To celebrate Cody’s life, a visitation will be held on May 28, 2025, where friends, family, and members of the community are invited to come together, share stories, and offer their support. A funeral service will follow, with burial afterward — a sacred time to say goodbye and to remember a life that, while short, was lived with immense love and meaning.
Cody Warbington may be gone from this world, but their light continues to shine brightly in the hearts of all who were fortunate enough to know them. They leave behind a legacy not just of memories, but of the kind of goodness that transforms lives.
Rest peacefully, dear Cody. You will forever be missed, forever remembered, and forever loved.
