| The words above were written by Cole at age sixteen. On a cold day in February of 2008, he was involved in a tragic accident after leaving
school, and his life was suddenly ended.
Cole was in his junior year at Germantown Academy where he developed many friendships and an appreciation for scholastic pursuits. He continued to maintain and expand associations within
his surrounding communities. Cole enjoyed and appreciated people, and strode to experience life to the fullest at every opportunity. He was a hardworking optimist, yet subject to the fragility Cole was seriously involved in soccer with high level club teams, which enabled him to foster friendships spanning the Eastern seaboard, across the United States and beyond. He stated, “Throughout my relatively short life of seventeen years, I have always prided myself in possessing a prowess and unrelenting determination in athletics, especially with my intense passion, soccer. Fueled by love, for its intricate beauties and multiple layers, I consider every kind of exposure to the game an important learning experience, crucial to my development and obsessive striving for excellence.” We, who love Cole, wish to pay tribute to his humanity, and to other young individuals who likewise “seize the day”, affect and infect those around them with their vigor, by establishing memorial funds in his name. More specific information about these funds appears on the ‘Fundraiser’ page. Please take a moment to review these opportunities to support these goals. Your time and consideration of contributing to one of these and/or to our fundraising event are greatly appreciated.
