Cole is the life of the party—always the first to jump into any activity, whether it’s soccer, flag football, swimming, tennis, Judo, or just making everyone laugh with his hilarious sense of humor. He’s confident, friendly, and has a heart as big as his love for sports and the outdoors.
In February 2025, Cole was diagnosed with DIPG, a rare and aggressive brain tumor. Since then, we have been unwavering in prayer, believing in God’s miraculous healing for Cole. We are doing everything possible to provide the best care, starting with Golisano Children’s Hospital and exploring additional options and providers.
Cole’s little brother, Carter, is 6 years old and Cole’s biggest cheerleader. He shares Cole’s adventurous spirit and has been by his side every step of the way.
Our family is blessed with incredible support, especially from the fire service community. Ryan is a lieutenant with the Greater Naples Fire Department and has served the community for over 10 years. Brenda, their mom, is an active member of Next Level Church. Her faith and dedication to her family are a constant source of strength and support.
We are truly grateful for the outpouring of love, prayers, and encouragement from family, friends, and our community as we navigate this journey together.
