Cody Stephens Go Big or Go Home Memorial Foundation

At 6’9″ and weighing 289 lbs, he seemed to be in perfect health, with no indication he had a fatal heart problem.

We partner with schools to implement heart screening programs with electrocardiogram as a part of pre-participation physicals, and raise awareness that Sudden Cardiac Arrest is preventable. On May 6, 2012, Cody Stephens was a few weeks from graduating from Crosby High School, and looking forward to showing his pig, steer and lamb at the Crosby Fair and Rodeo in June. He was also excited to be head

ed to Tarleton State University on a football scholarship, and working to stay in good physical condition to be prepared for college football practices. On that Sunday afternoon, Cody kicked back in his dad’s recliner, said he was tired and dozed off for a nap. He never woke up but died in his sleep, from Sudden Cardiac Arrest. His family had never heard of SCA and had no idea that young, seemingly healthy children were at risk with relatively few or no warning signs. This foundation was created to share Cody’s story with others, to raise awareness of this silent killer and help prevent other families from experiencing the loss and heartache of losing a child to SCA.

The Cody Stephens Foundation began partnering with Katy ISD in the fall of 2024 after the tragic passing of MRHS junior, Callie Mitchell.

The Katy ISD team had great success in their first year, screening just over 600 youth.

One of the many abnormal students found out from cardiologist follow-up that needed heart surgery. The cardiologist called the school and thanked them for providing the ECG heart screening stating that the only other time he’s seen this condition was in an autopsy and that this student was only one of 9 to have received surgery for this condition. Without a doubt, an ECG heart screening is what saved this child’s life.

We presented this morning at the 23rd Annual Sports Medicine symposium. Thank you to Cardiac Insight for donating an ECG machine for us to raffle.

The winner of the random drawing was Jayci Boudreaux-Stewart from Lamar CISD. The amazing thing is, just 3 months ago, Jayci sprung into action and saved a student having sudden cardiac arrest by using CPR and an AED.
