It is with broken hearts and an unbearable amount of grief the family of Cole LeBarge announce his unexpected passing Friday, June 2, 2023 at the age of 31. Though he faced a great deal of adversity in his life, Cole touched and changed the lives of so many around him. He was the father of Blair, beloved son to mother Nicole LeBarge and step father Derek Henry. Cherished brother to Riley Henry and cousin Jennifer (Ryan) Roemer. Loved grandson to Mary and Dennis Wright and George and Joan LeBarge. Cole will be deeply missed by his aunts Hunter Cross and Michele Roemer, and great-niece and nephew Ryder and Scarlett. Cole will be deeply missed and forever cherished by all of his extended family and friends. Though he may not be here with us, he is gained by us all as a guardian angel. Cole had a presence and he certainly left his mark on all who he encountered. He was committed to leaving people better then he found them, and we are all better for having him as a part of our lives. I am thankful that most recently Cole was exploring his beliefs with the Bible and the Quran. I hope this gave him peace as thankfully it does me. A visitation will be held at MacCoubrey Funeral Home Thursday, June 8, 2023 from 7:00 – 9:00 PM. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to Northumberland Fare Share Food Bank or the Cobourg Public Library.
i miss you man
We are deeply saddened to hear about Cole's unexpected passing. Our Deepest Condolences go out to Nicole and the family. Gene and Cheryl DiMarco
Nicole, Derek, Riley... I am so sorry for your loss. I'm absolutely gutted that this happened. Cole was my first real friend, my first everything. He was my confidant and my protector, my partner in crime in our younger years. I'll never forget sneaking over (sorry Nicole and Derek lol) to camp in the backyard or all the late night swims we had at my house when my parents crashed lol. We went from riding the school bus together to taking trains to Niagara Falls, to living together all over the place. I'll never forget the talks we had, the tears we cried or laughing until our stomach hurt. I know whenever Cole was in front of a bunch of the guys, he played up that tough guy exterior but inside, Cole was a loving, caring, sensitive person. I'm glad I got to see the vulnerable sides of Cole. I'm so sorry that we went down different paths, I'm so sorry I wasn't there for you when you were hurting, the way you did for me. Cole, you didn't deserve to go out like this. I know you had so much pain within you that you tried so hard to ignore and cover up. The only good in this is that you're finally rid of that pain. I love you, man. I wish I said it to you sooner. Thank you for so many memories, Cole. Thank you, Nicole and Derek for bringing cole into my life when you moved onto Ontario street. Thank you for welcoming me into your home and thanks for allowing him to continue hanging out with me after all our bus reports, detentions and suspensions too lol. I miss you so much, Cole. I'm so sorry for missing your service, I wish I could've said goodbye. Thank you so much for all of the memories and lessons, I wish I had more to remember you by. You've definitely taught me to tell the people you love how you feel before it's too late. Rest in Paradise, Cole. You can finally be at peace.
Sending my heartfelt condolences to you All! So sorry for your loss!?

Those we love don’t go away, they walk beside us everyday. Unseen, unheard, but always near, so loved, so missed, so very dear. Saying goodbye this soon seems so wrong. Let us grieve for the bond we shared and the bonds we didn’t get to form yet . The value of your friendship is beyond measure. I would pay anything to have you back for one more moment , one more memory . Since you passed too soon my friend . Life doesn't play fair!! Cole you will be dearly missed and always loved. Love you always my Friend Lorraine and Al
Nicole I was heartbroken to hear of Cole's passing. I can't imagine what you are going thru. My sympathies to you and your family. Big hugs.
Nicole and family, please accept our heartfelt condolences for the loss of your dear son Cole! Please feel comforted to know that in the Bible at John 5:28, 29 in part says: Do not be amazed at this, for the hour is coming in which all those in the memorial tombs will hear his voice and come out, those who did good things to a resurrection of life. At Revelation 21:4,5 you will find the promise of an amazing beautiful future with life on earth. It says: And he will wipe out every tear from their eyes and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore . The former things have passed away! In verse Rev. 5 it says The one seated on the throne said Look I am making all things new, also he says write, for these words are faithful and true!

Nicole, We want to extend our deepest condolences to you. Cole was an amazing guy. Helped us out around the house when needed. Always offered his help without being asked. Always happy go lucky. We had lots of laughter and happy times. Even though sometimes as parents we don’t see eye to eye with our kids I can say this he thought the world of you and he loved you deeply and always will be your protector. He will be greatly missed. Until we meet again Favourite Cole as I used to call him. Fly high my friend. Xo

So sorry for your loss! Thoughts and Prayers go out to all you family and friends.
To all Coles family Cole always took the time to say hello to people he knew and faces he recognized. His eyes lit up when he talked about his little bud. He made sure you had a smile when we parted ways. My heart aches for all of you at this difficult time. It's not suppose to go like this. Our children are to say goodbye to us. We are not to say goodbye to them. We found peice in our dreams at night. Hold on to each other and comfort will come. Time is the healer. Look for the signs. A song hecloved comes on the radio. A sudden smell of his cologne. A commercial he laughed at. Trust me, he is letting you know that even if you can't see him, he is by your side. I will keep you in my prayers.
Sending our deepest condolences to Nicole and all the family. So sad to hear of the loss of your son Cole. Your in our thoughts during this most difficult time. RIP Cole. ❤?❤ Sincerely Tammy & Terry Simpson.
