The Bangor Area School District and local community are grieving the sudden passing of Cody Lomedico of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, who served as an assistant coach at Bangor Area High School. His death, confirmed this week, has left students, athletes, colleagues, and friends in deep sorrow.

Lomedico was widely respected for his dedication to mentoring young athletes, both on and off the field. Known for his passion for sports, positive energy, and ability to connect with students, he guided countless athletes not only in athletics but also in personal growth and character development.

Tributes from fellow staff members and players describe Cody as a supportive mentor who fostered perseverance, teamwork, and discipline. “He cared about every player like family,” one colleague shared. “He wanted them to succeed in life, not just in the game.”

The Bangor Area High School athletic department noted that Lomedico’s influence extended far beyond sports, leaving a lasting impact on the entire school community. His presence, leadership, and mentorship will be profoundly missed.

Funeral arrangements and memorial service details have not yet been released, but the community is expected to come together in the coming days to celebrate Cody Lomedico’s life and honor the legacy he leaves behind.
