This is Cody Lyster. At 21, he's the youngest person in Colorado to die from #COVID19. Tonight on #FOX31, his family tells me about his character, and his aspirations to serve the community. @KDVR
Cody played baseball at @ColoradoMesaU. He was a HUGE @Rockies fan, and his favorite player was @Chuck_Nazty. His sister tells me he always wanted to meet him. He'll never get that chance. @KDVR
Cody's father is a police officer in the Denver area. He was studying criminal justice to serve the community, just like his Dad. The Lyster family made a point of going to @Avalanche law enforcement nights. @KDVR
On of the cruelest aspects of #COVID19 is it robs us of moments. Cody’s father will never see him become a police officer. @KDVR
Family friends set up a fundraiser to help the Lysters through this difficult time: gofundme.com/f/cody-lyster
