• Rip Cole - Posted by: Mitchell Lopaschuk (Friend) on: Aug 11, 2019

• Cole, you are always going to be the biggest love in my life. It brings me to tears reading these beautiful comments. I feel the love from everyone still. The love and joy you brought so many people. There isn't a day that passes that you don't cross my mind. I keep your memory with me always. The many times you would say "alright, alright, alright" as though you were Matthew McConaughey from Dazed and Confused. It brings a smile to my face, and that smirk of yours everyone knew you for. You always had a knack for making people smile. You were the best at it. Nobody could be better than you, even when you were sick, you would smile and tell me you love me. As I will always love you. I look forward to the day we meet again, and hope I can make you proud in the meantime. Cancer does not define who you are, it took you from us, but it definitely did not take your soul as I feel it here with me from time to time, when you're not with your family and loved ones. Please make sure to look out for us, as I hope you receive the love I send up for you everytime you cross my mind. You were a fighter and you inspire me to fight for what I believe in everyday. I miss you so much Cole, I know you know, but just know how loved you are from everyone in this world, there needs to be more people like you. Thank you for loving me. You will always live on in my heart. RIP baby. - Posted by: Krista Leganchuk (Girlfriend ) on: Dec 30, 2015

• Cole was about 4 years old when we moved in next door to the Guertin's. Even at that young age, Cole had an adventurous spirit. He was always riding his bike around the street and looking in the ditches for any critters he might be able to find. Our heartfelt and deepest sympathies go out to Phil, Lori, Leanne and Sean. - Posted by: Brian and Sue Larson and family () on: Jan 17, 2015

Sending lots of love your way. - Posted by: Candice Petrowski (Old friend) on: Jan 16, 2015

• Phil, Lori, Leanne & Sean We are so sorry to have learned of Cole's passing. Phil, I remember the day you stopped by the office on your way home from picking Lori and Cole up from the hospital. You came back to the marketing area, beaming, holding this new born, fast asleep, all wrapped up in his new car seat. Where have those years gone? Memories kept close to your heart for you all to stay strong, through this most difficult time. - Posted by: Louise & George Follows () on: Jan 12, 2015

Our prayers and thoughts are with you. - Posted by: Renel and Cecile Berard (Former neighbours on Corkscrew island) on: Jan 10, 2015

• Dear Phil & family, So So Sorry I lost my 26mth old son Colin in 1984 They say time heals, my definition is you always feel the same and the tears come, you just don't think about it as often. I went through 2 years of hell. You will survive this. I saw a bumper sticker in Sooke BC where I live and it said; "If you find yourself going through hell, DON'T STOP! Someday you will be able to make some sense of his early passing. He was a very good looker and from my reading, you showed him love and he was an amazing man. Sincerely, God bless you all and your son. sincerely, Dale Olnick p.s. If you focus, those that passed before you do come back to visit. He is only gone physically! - Posted by: Dale Olnick (classmate) on: Jan 10, 2015

• Me and cole were childhood friends who lost touch as we got older. I remember bike riding with him and Cody Jensen and cole would always have the nicest bike! I think as kids we were always jealous of him because not only did he have the best bike around but he knew how to use it too. I'll always remember cole as an adventrous, willing to try anything once type of person. - Posted by: Erik Nielson (Friend ) on: Jan 10, 2015

• . The word ' adventure' seemed to have great influence in his life, and I was always envious of his attitude and his approach at anything he decided to do ...110% all the fricken time. Tho we weren't the best of friends, he is in my thoughts and his family in my prayers. . - Posted by: Marc bacon (Buddy) on: Jan 10, 2015

• My deepest and most heartfelt condolences with the passing of Cole. Life most certainly is not fair sometimes. As a mother I cannot imagine the sorrow in your hearts. Take solace knowing that for 24 years you have been blessed by the most precious gift life has to offer. I pray you can begin to heal your wounded hearts by knowing Cole is waiting for you all with the open arms of a giant hug. Peace be with all of you during this most trying time. - Posted by: Pat (mother of a friend) on: Jan 10, 2015

• I first met Cole back when they used to have pre teen dances at the East St. Paul arena, and of course riding his bmx around that area...such a stud, with his little smirk (we can all picture it). We remained friends in later life exploring as we got our drivers licences and of course soaking in the sun at Birds Hill Beach. In more recent years I truly admired how established, confident and yet down to earth and kind hearted Cole was at such a young age, he loved his family's dogs to pieces. At times like this we can take comfort in knowing that he is in a place where suffering does not exist... and of course in the fact that this does not mean goodbye, it means until we meet again. Endless thoughts and prayers to family and loved ones. - Posted by: Christine (Friend) on: Jan 10, 2015

• Cole was a fighter his entire life and that never changed. He was an inspiration to so many people who knew him. RIP buddy, see you again some day. - Posted by: Tom Pescitelli () on: Jan 09, 2015

• When I first met you, I don't know how my mum was going to handle a teenage boy for 6 months when all she had raised was girls. You were such a character, the Aussie girls loved your accent and the fact you were a muscly 17yr old!!! I loved having you as s brother for 6 months it was a nice change. I'm glad you made the trip back over in 2010 it was so great to see you again after 3yrs. To your family I am so sorry for your loss, he put up a good fight. Love you and miss you xx - Posted by: Lenore (friend) on: Jan 09, 2015

• Cole. Heaven's got a good one. You loved my friend Krista so dearly and you were a great man. I can't wait till we meet again and we can pick at each others brains over politics and worldly events, I know you will be watching what's going on. I want to thank you for your time on Earth. You made me realize my own immortality. We (your friends) are young but god can take any of us at anytime. Your life will help me take each day with more care and kindness.
