In September 2021, Cole performed with his school's marching band at their homecoming game.

After the game, Cole was driving a fellow band member home when investigators say his truck was hit head-on and the other driver took off.

"He was such a good kid. He just worked really hard," said Cole's mother. "They have always included him in everything. And I think it's good for him to be recognized."
