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.

Cody has two older siblings - A sister Zelda, 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.

CODY SHARED HIS GRIEF AFTER HIS FATHER'S DEATH

Robin Williams, 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.

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."
