On January 28, 2024 Brody Reynolds tragically lost his life in a car accident while taking a friend home. Brody told his friend, "I brought you here and I will make sure you make it home safe." He dropped his friend off and in typical Brody fashion he told his friend, "I love you man. I'll see you tomorrow."   Tomorrow did not come.  

 

His unconditional love for others, his laughter and light he openly shared, and his kindness are now his legacy. Brody was never hesitant to tell those close to him that he loved them, and to anyone he was quick to offer hugs, smiles, support, and a standing invitation to anything he was doing with others. He loved people and animals with 100% openness and intensity. This manner of living by lifting up others and being a balcony person is how Brody made every day count in his all too short life.  

 

We have been inspired by Brody's loving spirit, and his bracelet that was recovered from his accident which read, "EVERY DAY COUNTS." We are now striving to continue Brody's life's message of placing your greatest effort and focus on how you love and lift up the people around you- those you know and those who need someone to reach to them, without judgement, without hesitation, and without fear.

​

We are called the Balcony Foundation because Brody's mother told he and his siblings to always be a balcony person who spends their life lifting up others. She said never be a basement person who only tries to pull others down as low as they feel. Brody never had to try to be a balcony person- he just was and we are all inspired to watch our judgement, open our circles, and extend a hand more than we ever have. We hope you will join us!
