FACTS ABOUT CODY ALAN WILLIAMS

Cody was born on November 25, 1991, under the sign of Sagittarius in San Francisco, California. He is the youngest child of Robin’s second marriage to Marsha Garces Williams. The couple was married from 1989 until 2010.

Even though he prefers to keep his life away from the public eye, Cody did make an appearance in the 2018 documentary “Robin Williams: Come Inside My Mind,” which highlights the life and career of his late father.

Cody has two older siblings. Zelda is his elder sister, and Zachary, also known as “Zak,” is his half-brother. The latter is Robin’s son from his previous marriage to his first wife, Valerie Velardi.

It’s no surprise that Cody’s older siblings have followed their father into the entertainment industry. Zak, 39, and Zelda, 32, are actors who started their careers in the early 1990s and 2000s.

CODY’S WEDDING WAS A TRIBUTE TO HIS LATE FATHER

While most of his siblings succeeded in acting, Cody found success in marriage. Cody and his beautiful wife, Maria Flores, tied the knot on July 21, 2019—Robin’s actual birthdate.

His father may have turned 68 on the day of their special union. The couple’s wedding ceremony occurred at Robin and Marsha’s residence in San Francisco, California, where Cody and Zelda grew up.

The occasion was noteworthy in every way. In addition to honoring Robin, Cody and his wife paid tribute to their departed loved ones: Cody’s late cousin Todd Elsner, Maria’s aunt Carol Browning and grandfather Daniel Flores.

Wedding guests held up yellow roses while a recording of Maria singing the song “Never Enough” played. They all lit three-wicked candles in honor of departed loved ones.

Meanwhile, Zelda highlighted on social media how her younger brother’s wedding day has taken on special significance for her. She’s also ecstatic that she has a new sister in the family.

CODY SHARED HIS GRIEF AFTER HIS FATHER’S DEATH

Robin, regarded as one of the most respected comedians in Hollywood, took his own life at 63 in August 2014. The comedian’s death crushed the hearts of fans and his family, notably his youngest son, who was only 22 at the time of the actor’s death.

Completely heartbroken, Cody said there were no words to describe his love and respect for his father. Even after the comedian’s death, Cody said his dad would remain in his memory wherever life takes him, adding:

“The world will never be the same without him. I will miss him and take him with me everywhere I go for the rest of my life, and will look forward, forever, to the moment when I get to see him again.”

Like Cody, Zak expressed his sorrow, saying that Robin’s death had brought gloom to the world. In the middle of the darkness, Zelda regarded her father as a warm person.

Amid their mourning, the siblings, particularly Cody, find solace in knowing that their father left them with a great legacy and happy memories through his unforgettable films.

Robin’s ability to generate fantastic comedy pieces on the fly while also portraying a wide range of memorable characters helped him establish his reputation in the industry.

The great comedian gained prominence in the world of comedy and inspirational films, including “Jumanji,” “Mrs. Doubtfire,” “Dead Poets Society,” and “Good Will Hunting.”
