In Loving Memory of Kody A. Perry

Today, we pause with heavy hearts to honor and remember the life of Kody A. Perry, a 33-year-old resident of North Vernon, Indiana, whose life was tragically lost in an early morning house fire in Jennings County. His passing has left an immeasurable void in the hearts of his family, friends, and all who had the privilege of knowing him.

Kody was more than just a name in a report—he was a son, a friend, a neighbor, and a cherished member of his community. He carried within him a unique spirit that touched those around him, whether through his kindness, his laughter, or the simple moments he shared with others. His life, though cut far too short, was filled with meaning, memories, and the quiet impact of everyday love.

In the early hours of the morning, when the world was just beginning to wake, tragedy struck. Calls came in around 7:30 a.m. reporting a house fire on North County Road 350 West in Queensville. Deputies, police officers, and firefighters rushed to the scene, braving smoke, cold temperatures, and dangerous conditions in hopes of saving anyone who might still be inside. Despite their swift and courageous efforts, Kody was found deceased within his home. The news has shaken the community and left many struggling to comprehend the sudden loss.

As investigators work to determine the cause of the fire and the circumstances surrounding Kody’s death, the focus remains on honoring his memory and supporting those who loved him most. The heartbreak felt by his family is beyond words, and the grief shared by friends and neighbors reflects just how deeply he was cared for.

Kody’s life, though brief, mattered. His presence mattered. The conversations, the shared moments, the laughter, the struggles, and the dreams—each one formed a part of the story that was uniquely his. He will be remembered not for the way he died, but for the way he lived, for the connections he made, and for the love he gave and received.

In times like these, we are reminded of how fragile life can be and how important it is to cherish the people around us. Kody’s passing is a solemn reminder to hold loved ones a little closer, to speak kind words, and to never take a single moment for granted.

To Kody’s family, friends, and all who are mourning his loss: may you find strength in the memories you shared, comfort in the love that surrounds you, and peace in knowing that Kody will never be forgotten. His name will live on in the hearts of those who knew him, and his memory will remain a light even in the darkest times.

Rest in peace, Kody A. Perry.

You will always be remembered, always be missed, and forever be loved.
