It comes just a few months after Vodry nearly died in a crash at Silver Lake Sand Dunes .
Vodry worked at Kaz Transmissions in Plainfield Township, according to his former boss, Josh Kasnowicz. Kasnowicz used to own the shop. For him, it’s like losing a little brother. Vodry became family to him.
“He’s part of my heart,” Kasnowicz said.
Kasnowicz was friends with Vodry’s father, who was fighting an aggressive form of cancer several years ago. Vodry’s dad, Glenn, asked Kasnowicz if he could spend his final days working on cars alongside his son at the shop.
