PHOENIX - The GoFundMe page for Cody Flom was a fourth of the way to the $20,000 goal Monday morning.
The post reads: “Our son, Cody, tragically passed away at 12 years old on Friday, July 22nd. He has touched the hearts of so many people. He was such a good boy, he just wanted to make everyone laugh, and he loved his computer, kindle and video games. He was a Boy Scout, going into 7th grade this year, and absolutely loved his family and friends. We are asking for your love and support through this horrible, long journey."
This GoFundMe account is set up and controlled by Cody's father and stepmother, who had nothing to do with the decision to go hiking that day.
Cody died Friday afternoon while hiking with his mom's boyfriend along the Sidewinder Trail in the Phoenix Sonoran Desert Perserve.
