Many of them knew him as a friend, a family member, a mentor, or simply as someone whose faith and joy were impossible to miss. Because of that, their work is not abstract—it is personal. Every decision, every initiative, and every act of generosity is fueled by the memory of Cole and the legacy of love he left behind.

This board is more than a collection of names on letterhead. They are men and women who have walked through seasons of loss and heartache themselves, and yet have chosen to lift their eyes to Christ and find joy in Him. Their presence on the board is a testimony to the truth that hope can be found even in the hardest places. In sharing their leadership, their stories, and their faith, they remind others that no one has to walk this journey alone.

Through their combined vision and generosity, the board ensures that the Foundation’s mission remains clear: to encourage others, to offer tangible reminders of God’s love, and to keep Cole’s story alive in a way that impacts lives for generations to come. They embody the belief that out of grief can come beauty, and out of sorrow can come strength. Each member sees their role not as a duty, but as a calling—an opportunity to help others discover the same hope and joy in Christ that sustained Cole and continues to sustain them.

And as you read about these board members, we hope you see them not just as leaders, but as companions walking the same road of faith, loss, and hope. Their message is simple but profound: you are not alone. No matter what struggles you face, there is hope to be found, and there is a community here to remind you of Christ’s unshakable love.
