He tries to stay strong following brother’s death
Kodi Reed visits the park once a month in memory of his brother.
“I got the call from my aunt at 4 o’clock in the morning. My brother and his fiancé were in Galveston for Valentine’s Day. They were going to this place near the sea wall called the chill zone when they wrecked. He died instantly and she got rushed to the hospital, but she passed away there. It really sucks.”
How have you been dealing with it?
“You’ve got to stay strong for family, definitely for my mom and my sister. Hanging on to good memories helps.
“At first me and my brother weren’t that close, but we became really close after he turned 16 and I was 18. We would come out here to the park and I would watch him skateboard. He also liked to look at the turtles. We would just hang out. This was our chill zone right here.
“It’s hard but, you know, God picks them. You can’t do anything about it.”
