Jack Cole

It is with overwhelming sadness that we share the passing of J John G S Cole  which occurred suddenly at his home on Jan 29th, 2021, in Osgoode, Ont.  John was born in Saint John, N.B. on April 29, 1981 and is the son of Jack and Catherine Cole of Long Reach, N.B. He will be missed by his sister Caitlin Pletz (Thorsten), brother Nick Cole (Tini Ngo ), and niece, Lilyana Pletz as well as several Aunts, Uncles and Cousins.

John had a brilliant mind and a gentle heart, which secured him a successful career as a software developer and the permanent nickname of "Uncle John" by the children of his family and friends. His interest in technology and software started at a young age. He graduated Hampton High School and followed up immediately by attending the University of New Brunswick and earning a Masters degree in Computer Science. John was a hard working and well respected software developer at Trihedral Engineering of Bedford, NS. where he will be missed dearly by his colleagues.

John enjoyed listening to the entire spectrum of music and was well versed in the arts and sciences. He enjoyed camping with his friends, travelling, attending music festivals, and his hobby of collecting all things gaming, as well as spending as much time as possible and sharing his hobbies with his niece Lilyana ,whom he lived with. The world was truly privileged to have known him.

A celebration of life will be held for John in the coming months in his home town of Long Reach, New Brunswick. Details will be shared via social media at a later date. Donations in John's memory may be made to the Long Reach United Church 133 Nerepis Rd, Grandbay-Westfield, N.B. E5K 2Z3.
