At the time, he said:
"To say we were shocked would be an understatement. At 36, I was diagnosed with stage IV cancer that had spread to my groin, pelvis, right hip, abdomen, chest, and spine." Things did not look good for the officer, who was training for a local triathlon at the time.

He beat cancer the following year, which inspired him to try and compete athletically. The fallen officer (Image via Norristown Obituary) Ultimately, that survival made him the athlete he was, as after his defeat of the disease, he did local events and traveled to Austria for an Ironman in 2016. The cyclist had been a member of his police department for 16 years, where he served in the bicycle unit and as a local school resource officer.

No words." Police chief Woods said this about his friend and fallen companion:
"Big loss for our department, for our community. I got so many emails and text messages from people in the community showing how much he mean to them, how much they'll miss him." Woods also mentioned that the hole that was now present in the local community and police department would never be filled.

Erica Genaurdi, who worked with Kozera on community projects, stated:
"That's what he was, single most amazing, caring human being. All he wanted to do is do anything he could for everybody else."
The Norristown, PA community is mourning the loss of a friend, mentor, helper, and protector. There's no word on if the driver of the vehicle is being charged with anything at this time.
