It is with the deepest sadness and sorrow we announce on December 31st, 2012, the tragic passing of our beloved family member Cole Adam Manning.

Born and raised in Kamloops, B.C., he encountered and overcame his share of challenges with grace and positivity. No matter the circumstances Cole always wore a smile on his face and would do anything to brighten your day. He was truly a shining star and left an everlasting impression on everyone he met. Cole had embarked on a new and more fulfilling chapter of his life in Calgary, AB, where he worked hard everyday to accomplish his own personal goals and earned the respect of friends along the way. Cole returned to B.C. in February of 2012, where he quickly established himself with a new set of goals and aspirations laying a solid foundation for an even brighter future.

Cole will be forever loved and missed by his mother and step-father, Kathy & Keith Manning, his brothers Corey, Kevin & Dean Manning & Fraser Gerrard, sisters Lorena Manning & Tasha Gerrard, father Jeff Gerrard, step-mother Julie Gerrard, all aunts & uncles, and his grandmother Frances Reeves.

All condolences are sincerely appreciated.

The date, address and time of Cole's Celebration of Life will be announced at a later date.
