The Waterville, Maine community is mourning the heartbreaking loss of Cody Sack, a young man whose warmth, generosity, and joyful spirit left an enduring mark on everyone who had the privilege of knowing him.
The Sack family has long been a cherished and active part of the local hockey world and beyond, dedicating themselves wholeheartedly to supporting young athletes and creating a sense of camaraderie that has touched countless lives.
Cody was much more than just a teammate or player—he was a constant source of encouragement, laughter, and kindness. Known for his bright smile and compassionate nature, he made those around him feel seen, valued, and supported.
Whether on the ice, at school, or in everyday life, Cody led with his heart, showing a maturity and empathy that belied his years. His absence is a loss not only to his family but to an entire community that had the honor of watching him grow into the remarkable person he was becoming.
The Sack family—respected for their unwavering commitment to others—now faces unimaginable grief. Their lives have been forever changed, and the pain of losing Cody is felt deeply by all who knew him.
During this difficult time, the community is coming together to return the love and support the Sacks have always so freely given. A fundraising effort has been launched to help ease the financial burden now resting on their shoulders.
These funds will assist with funeral expenses and other unforeseen costs, offering the family some relief as they begin the long and painful process of healing. While no donation can ever fill the void left by Cody’s passing, each contribution is a powerful gesture of solidarity and compassion.
Every dollar given is more than just financial support—it’s a message to the Sack family that they are not alone. That their son’s life, though tragically short, mattered deeply.
That Cody’s memory will live on in the hearts of the teammates he inspired, the friends he laughed with, and the community he helped shape through his kindness.
In Cody’s memory, we also honor the values he embodied: friendship, resilience, and a love for life. His legacy continues in every kind act performed in his name and in the collective strength of a community rallying behind a grieving family.
Even in this time of profound sadness, the light Cody brought into the world reminds us to care for one another, to lift each other up, and to never take a moment for granted.
To all those considering a donation: thank you. Your support, no matter the size, means the world to the Sack family. More than that, it’s a testament to the kind of community we are—one that rises in times of need, embraces its own, and stands together in love.
Cody Sack will forever be remembered for his bright spirit, his genuine heart, and the joy he brought into every room. May his memory continue to inspire us all.
