A member of our Snohomish family lost their son in December. While our hearts go out to the Coy family during this incredibly sad time, we want to honor their son’s legacy by making a donation to the Lil’ Dude’s Insect Academy and offer the rest of our generous community the opportunity to do the same. https://www.lildudesinsectacademy.com/donate

It is with heavy hearts that we must announce the unexpected passing of our founder and dear friend, Bradon Coy on Sunday morning. He was with family and passed without pain. He would tell you that he loved insects for as long as he could remember.
A memorial service will be held for Bradon this Saturday December 20th at 1:00pm at Cascade Community Church in Monroe, Washington. In lieu of flowers, his family has asked that donations be made in his honor to Lil' Dude's Insect Academy so that the board can continue his life's work. https://www.lildudesinsectacademy.com/donate
The memorial service will be live-streamed and a link will be made available shortly if you would like to attend virtually.
