I am so terribly sorry to hear of Spencer's passing. Spencer & my son, Dante Polo played football together at BOB & on Colts. Dante told me that he & Spencer, on opposite lines, would go hard each & every practice (even when they weren't supposed to). Spencer's talent & drive on the field made my son a better player & team mate. I have very fond memories of sitting in the stands, cheering our boys on. It was a pleasure & an honour to watch Spencer play. Please accept our family's sincere condolences at this heartbreaking time.

Our heartfelt sympathy to you all at this very sad time

To the Cole Family:

May you find strength in knowing that love transforms us. Spencer was a friend of our son, Adam Pulliam.

Our family is so grateful that Adam could fly out to be there at this time of mourning as you grieve for such an amazing young man as Spencer. Our entire family sends our love and prayers. We will fish the river for Spencer here in Bella Coola as a way of honoring him today. His initials SSC stands for Strength, Solitude and Courage. There are no words to replace what he meant to so many people. From the Pulliam’s Greg, Lorie, Sarah and Adam. (Hagensborg, Nimpo Lake and Nanaimo BC.)

Sending all my love to Spencer and his close family and friends.

Our thoughts and prayers are with you, sending great big hugs your way.

Marlene, Brian, Chad, Miranda and extended family. Such an unexpected loss. Our hearts reach out to all of you. Gone too soon but never forgotten. Wayne & Sue Collins

My condolences to the Cole’s and to Spencer’s extended family and friends. Coaching Spencer at Bishop O’Byrne H.S. was a tremendous honour. He was the best leader I have encountered in my teacher/coaching career and a was fantastic teammate. In over 20 years coaching at the school I have never been so impressed by a student/athlete. In the hearts of so many, Spencer was the reason why the teams he played on had so much success.

I’m so sorry for your loss,

Derek MacCready

To the Cole’s,

Marlene, Brian, Miranda and Chad my deepest condolence on the passing of Spencer. I truly have no idea what you all must be feeling right now and I will not express the usual sentiments that time heals all pain, but you will always have his loving memory in your hearts and minds. Again my deepest condolence at this very sad moment in your lives.

My Condolences to the family and friends of Spencer. I had some very fond and rewarding memories coaching Spencer on our COLTS BROTHERHOOD Football Club and at Bishop Opyrne High School. Spencer truly was our Team, Community, and School leader. I will always remember his smile as he was such a Positive and enthusiastic teenager. He made a mark in our football community... Coach Biagio

Our sincere and deepest condolences to you all. We remember Spencer through shared years with the Colts. He was such an incredible and kind person and we remember him with great fondness. Our thoughts and prayers are with you, Wayne, CarrieAnn, Braiden and Jared South

Marlene, I am so sorry for your loss. You, Brian and your family are in my thoughts and prayers. God bless you all.

Marlene, Brian, Larry and Marie

Our sincere sympathy to you and your family. Such a tragedy to lose someone so young. Keeping you all in our thoughts and prayers. Hugs to all, Eric and Linda Breidfjord.

“Spencer Sebastian Crabby Cole” as my phone would still say (inside joke). I will never forget the memories we shared in highschool. You quickly became one of my best friends. You me and Chantelle were the three amigos. TA hangouts, lunches, parties, hanging out in your room, and at Chantelle’s. Memories I’ll carry with me forever.

I am so blessed that we reconnected back in January. Seeing you again, almost as if no time had passed. You were doing so well for yourself and had such a bright future in front of you. It breaks my heart that going to the Flames game with you a couple weeks ago is the last time I will see you, but is a memory I will cherish forever.

I hope you know how loved you are, and how much you will be missed. You’ll always have a special place in my heart. Rest easy Spencer ♥️

Brian, Marlene, Miranda and Chad, We are so incredibly heartbroken to hear of the loss of Spencer. We hold so many memories from the years of Colts football. He was always such a fine human always bringing heart, compassion, humour, determination, and character to every situation and encounter. The world has truly lost such a bright light much too soon. Our hearts ache for you all and we pray that your memories will bring you some comfort. With condolences, The Brady Family

To Brian, Marlene, Miranda & Chad. I'm Jonathan Chabot's mom & I've known Spencer since Bishop O'Byrne. He & the kids are such a tight group of Friends & continue to be tight. Spencer was always welcome at our house & I enjoyed seeing him at our house for Jonathan or Jordan's Birthday Parties, watching Jordan & Spencer play Football. Spencer played for Colts & Jordan Bulldogs but a Bishop O'Byrne they play together, or seeing him & Miranda at softball games. Your son is an Amazing young man & I know how Proud you are of him❤. I was Blessed to know him❤

I wish I could offer some words to tell you it will be alright but I can't. I know too well how your lives are forever changed. What gets me through was knowing God needed him more & that he is Among Angel's. He will be with you always in your heart & thoughts. You'll have good days & bad but I'm Praying for Ya'll that God wraps his arms around you.

I loved your son as a do all the kids. They are like my own. Sending Hugs & Love❤

Spencer was the most kind person I have ever met. He always had a smile on his face and had such a genuine care for everyone around him. He impacted so many lives in such a positive way. My best memories of Spencer was being his roommate when we lived in Lethbridge. We all had so much fun together and he was such a big part of my early 20s. I will miss him so much. My heart breaks for the Cole family. Extending my deepest condolences.

My condolences Cole family, such a huge loss! Our hearts go out to you guys in this time.

I bumped into Spencer on the river one morning and we instantly connected and start talking all things fishing, mechanics, hunting! We had many laughs late nights over cp equipment and trucks we both had to deal with, Spencer just had that way of making everything too funny to even worry about! I had the short pleasure of knowing this true gem of a person! Through and through just one of those people you don’t often come across! Such a big heart and will be so missed by all us from the fishing community and so many other people who had a pleasure of knowing him! Rest in peace brother we’ll see you again! Forever in our hearts!!!

My sincere condolences to the Cole family. I lost touch with Spencer after high school, but I will always remember the kind, hilarious and caring man he was. Whenever I was with Spencer I was smiling, laughing and having an excellent time, no matter what we were doing. I will never forget him and the friendship we shared. Sending love to all who knew him - may he rest in peace ❤️

I worked at CP with Spencer he was always in a good mood and a pleasure to be around . Deepest condolences to his loved ones

My condolences to the Cole family. Spencer will always hold a special place in everyone’s hearts. Although most of our memories together are not recent..I will never forget what a kind, fun, and loving man he was and how special our friendship through high school was ❤️

Spencer was one of the kindest, most caring people I have ever met. From the minute we met, we instantly shared a bond for our love of Kee, and I really got to experience what it meant to have a friend like Spencer in our lives. A favorite memory I will hold on to is of Spencer and Keelan coming home after a night of shenanigans out at the Flames game, on a Tuesday night I might add. Having to wake up early, I wasn't happy when these two marched in the door and immediately began wrestling knocking into the walls and laughing their heads off. Not wanting to get up, I texted Keelan to quiet down. I hear the two whispering, Keelan saying "We gotta be quiet Keely's mad", followed up by Spencer, "Sorry Keely", and the continuation of wrestling and laughing. I will forever cherish the friendship these two shared.

My deepest condolences to the entire Cole family and all of the friends. Spencer will be greatly missed. ❤️

In the short time of knowing Spencer, he had a significant impact on my life. Spencer uplifted everyone around him. I was one of those people. And I am so honoured to have known him.

His love for his family, friends and his life was an inspiration to everyone who had the privilege of meeting him. Hoping that his family and friends find comfort in their memories of Spencer, and in the knowledge that he was loved by everyone around him. Sending love to all that knew him ❤️

Speeeeee. You were like a second brother to me. And boy was I lucky to have you care about me in that way. Everywhere we look, there is a reminder of your hard work, kindness, and love... the hedges along our fence, the wood wall in the bathroom, the retaining walls in the front garden. You gave and gave and gave to everyone. You never took. Truly, a person who left everything better than he found it. To say I will miss you is an understatement.

All my love to your beautiful family.

Love you Spencer ❤️

Spencer was such a genuine person. He was always down to help others and rarely complained about anything. Spending time with him was always a pleasure. Over the years I learned a lot from Spencer about hard work and how to be a good friend. It’s hard to think about this loss but I will always remember all the projects we did together, all the good times and Spencer’s happy and positive attitude towards life.

Love you Spency ❤️

Sending my condolences to the Cole family. I knew Spencer from Jr high at Father Whelihan and high school at Bishop O’Byrne. I will always have fond memories of meeting up at “the purple park” where Miranda and Spencer could often be found tossing a football. Spencer was a fun person to be around with an infectious spirit. My thoughts are with his family during this difficult time.

Madisyn Lewis

Spencer was the most kind, caring genuine and loyal friend. He was one of the most selfless people I have ever met, always taking care of his friends and family. I’m going to miss his infectious laugh, and how positive he was. He always made everyone he was around happy. I’d have to write a 1000 page essay to fit all the amazing memories we have made together over the years. He was truly one of the best friends I’ve ever had. It was an honour to have him be such a huge part of my life for so many years, and an honour to call him a best friend. Words can’t describe how much you’ll be missed Spenny.

My heart goes out to the entire Cole family and all of his friends.

Love you Spenny. You will never be forgotten.

Rest easy brother ❤️

If it were not for the family reunions, I doubt we would have ever had the chance to meet. The fondest memory I have is the infamous flag football game, where we played against each other in our version of the labor day classic. The last time we met happened to also be on a football field when you played at the Winnipeg stadium and you were on the receiving team of a kickoff. And in true fashion we got a little loud and yelled your name. The announcer just before the kick on a live microphone comments, looks like Spencer has some fans here!!. The labor day classic will forever take on a new meaning.

You will never be forgotten my son, Dad
