Cole
My brother was adventurous, kind, and unapologetically himself. He treated everybody with nothing but kindness & respect, and was deeply loved for it.
Cole was studying to become a doctor because his desire to care for others ran deep. His love for the outdoors was truly unparalleled, and if you couldn’t find him glued to his chemistry textbooks, he was mostly likely climbing up the side of a mountain, or snowboarding down one.
Cole commanded his life in a way that only a free spirit knew how. He colored his routines outside of the lines. He was fearless, selfless, passionate, and loyal.
I am doing my best to live the way Cole so effortlessly did: adventurously, happily, and with the courage of his convictions. I hope that by sharing his story, it inspires others to live that way too.

“May your trails be crooked, winding, lonesome, dangerous, leading to the most amazing view. May your mountains rise into and above the clouds. Each thing in its way, when true to its own character, is equally beautiful.”
