Kirk Ferentz Statement on Cody Ince Passing

Sports

July 18th, 2023 by Asa Lucas

Kirk Ferentz Statement on Cody Ince 

“I am incredibly sad to hear about Cody Ince’s sudden passing. Cody was a tremendous young man, valued teammate, and contributor to our program. He loved football, fishing and hunting, and believed in the importance of family and friendships. Cody was just beginning this next chapter of his life and was about to be married. Mary and I are heartbroken for his fiancée, his family and all his friends who knew and loved him. All of us in the football program – his coaches and teammates – are mourning his loss.” 

Ince competed in 29 games as an offensive lineman for the Hawkeyes. He played in 10 games, including four starts, as a junior in 2021. Ince was an honorable mention all-conference honoree by league coaches and media after playing in eight games, including starting the final six contests, as a sophomore. The Wisconsin native saw action in 11 games as a redshirt freshman. Ince was an Academic All-Big Ten honoree and earned spring semester Dean’s List recognition in 2021.

Visitation will be held on Saturday, July 23, from 2-4 p.m., followed by a Celebration of Life at BrowTine Event Center (1361 100th St.) in Amery, Wisconsin.

(Atlantic, Iowa) – As with years past, the City of Atlantic’s Parks and Recreation Department is having to deal with issues of vandalism to Parks property. Assistant Parks Director Jeff Christensen, Monday, told the Parks & Rec Board, that the incidents have been destructive, and disgusting.

Board member John Krogman said noticed someone smashed a light on the waterless restroom at the Schildberg Park.

Christensen said they are actively pursuing, with the Police Department, the suspects involved in some of the incidents.

There’s also been damage to the floating docks at the Schildberg Recreation Area. The list of incidents, Christensen said, go on and on.

He said there were incidents last Summer, as well, including mirrors broken and pulled-off the walls at some park restrooms, a tree and a slide was spray painted.

On a more positive note, Christensen said new playground for the Harl-Holt Park should be arriving this fall. Jeff said he would be reaching out to officials with Pour-N-Play, and get a price quote on their safety material to prevent injuries from falls that might occur while kids use the playground equipment.

Pour-N-Play lasts longer than other such materials, such as wood chips and rubber chips.
