Everett Jeremy Cole lived his life with quiet steadiness and open-hearted devotion. Born and raised in West Port Ranier — Norland’s exclusive coastal city known for old wealth, mountains, and privilege — Everett grew up as the eldest of the four sons of Bobby Cole, a legendary NHL star for the Port Ranier Wilderness, and Olivia Cole, whose own family name carried its own social weight. But Everett never leaned on the reputation he inherited — he built his own.
At 41 years old, Everett had carved out a successful career as a corporate consultant, quietly transforming struggling companies into thriving enterprises. He worked hard — but only as hard as necessary to fuel what mattered most to him: the life he was building with Merritt. Whether mountain biking along Norland’s rugged trails or carving fresh powder on the slopes, Everett’s joy was found in adventure — and in the home they built together, anchored by love, respect, and their beloved husky, Sophie.
His sudden death in a car accident left behind not just an empty space, but an entire life of plans, hopes, and quiet moments Merritt still carries. But to those who knew him, Everett’s memory lives not only in loss — but in every mountain trail, every snow-covered peak, and every act of love that shaped their years together.
