Although I did not have the privilege of knowing your son personally, I was deeply saddened to hear of his passing. As a fellow aviator, I understand the passion and joy that flying brings, and it is clear that he was doing what he loved. From all I have heard, your son touched the lives of many people and left a lasting impact on those around him. Please accept this gift as a small expression of support and remembrance. My thoughts and prayers are with your family during this difficult season. May you find comfort in the memories you shared, strength in one another, and peace in knowing how greatly he was loved and respected. God bless!

Cole and I flew together a few times and his eagerness to know more about aviation and his passion for it were always evident. Flying was in his DNA for sure. You are missed my friend.

I will always remember Cole as a passionate Aviator, a dreamer, and a hard worker who was dedicated to reaching his goals. We spent time together on Aero Club trips, and shared several flights, and the last time we spoke, we talked about his plans to join the airlines. He shared his plans and his journey toward getting there. I am so grateful that I knew him. He is a great Aviator and a very inspiring example for me. I am so sorry this happened. Fly high, Cole

Cole and I went to high school together at CFAA years ago and later attended Polk State as well. I remember him always bringing a positive attitude to class, encouraging those around him, and helping others whenever he could. As we both progressed through our careers as pilots, we stayed in touch from time to time. I will always remember his kindness, positivity, and the impact he had on those around him.

Cole's face just lighted up when he talked about flying... what a wonderful young man . We will miss him always! "Oh, I have slipped the surly bonds of earth, ....put out my hand, and touched the face of God."

Cole, just like everyone at Bartow flying service, was family. He was kind and hardworking. Most of all, he was passionate. Blue skies and tailwinds, may you rest easy, and may we meet again one day.
