Cody James Boast

Cody James Boast, 22, of Lilly, found peace Monday, April 15, 2024. He was born in Johnstown, Pennsylvania on July 3, 2001, son of Nicole Boast.

Cody is preceded in death by his great grandmother (“Bubba”), Mary Ruth (Dougherty) Boast and great-uncle, Kevin “Whoopy” Boast.

He is survived by his son, Anthony Boast; mother, Nicole Boast; grandparents, Timothy and Michele (Boast) Klayko; and his many loving family members (aunts, uncles, cousins, half-siblings) and close friends (Rachel N., Timmy C., Derrick, Evan N., and Alex J.).

He loved surrounding himself with family and friends. Cody was often seen at the PNA (Polish National Alliance) Lilly club shooting pool with his friends, singing karaoke, and spending time with his beloved family there. He was a member of the PNA Lilly club and Sons of the American Legion.

Cody will be remembered for his infectious sense of humor, passionate personality, creativity, and his dozens of tattoos. Some of those tattoos were silly, while others held unquestionable meaning and honored essential people in his life. He had a love for song-writing and creating music, while holding a deep appreciation for rap. His favorite artist, Juice WRLD, was a profound inspiration for him. He also loved his mustang, or as Cody’s son (Anthony) called it, the “red race car.” A lot of hours, work, and money were put into that mustang. However, it was the priceless bonding time with his “Pap” that Cody valued the most.

His presence will be missed by many, and felt in all aspects of life— from morning routines, to many long nights on Fortnite, to his favorite places.

Funeral Mass will be celebrated at 10 a.m., April 22, 2024 at Our Lady of the Alleghenies Catholic Church, Lilly. Father Matthew Reese, Celebrant. Online condolences may be made at serenkoclaarfuneralhome.com
