May 2nd 2024.
Tragedy struck when a bouncy castle, lifted by a sudden gust of wind, claimed the life of 2-year-old Bodhi Naff. Bodhi, the son of Karl Naff from the Phoenix Fire Department and his wife Cristy, was playing with other children when the incident occurred.
According to the Pinal County Sheriff's Office, the strong wind caused the bounce house to lift up, resulting in Bodhi sustaining life-threatening injuries. He was immediately rushed to a nearby hospital, but sadly, he did not survive.
This heartbreaking news has left Karl and Cristy in a state of unimaginable grief. A close friend of the family, Ashley Al-Khouri, expressed her condolences on a GoFundMe page set up to support the Naff family. She mentioned that Bodhi's parents were expecting their second child at the end of May, adding to the weight of their sorrow.
In addition to dealing with the loss of their beloved son, Karl and Cristy also face the daunting task of preparing for the arrival of their new baby. The community has rallied behind them, with the United Phoenix Firefighters acknowledging the Naffs' contributions to their firehouse family.
The incident occurred at the Naff's home near Casa Grande, Arizona, and firefighters responded to the scene around 5pm. Unfortunately, another child also suffered non-life threatening injuries and was taken for medical care.
The sheriff's office offered their sincere condolences to the grieving family, and the GoFundMe page set up to support them has received an overwhelming response. As of Thursday evening, it had raised more than $172,000, which Al-Khouri stated will help Karl and Cristy focus on grieving their beloved Bodhi while also preparing for their new chapter in life.
Sadly, this is not the first time such an accident has occurred. Just five years ago, a 9-year-old girl lost her life when she fell from an obstacle course strapped between two palm trees in a gated community in Florida. Two other children were also injured in the incident.
Our hearts go out to the Naff family during this difficult time. May Bodhi's memory live on, and may Karl and Cristy find strength in the support and love of their community.
