Cole Etlings continued Education Fund (In Trust)

Donation protected
Joseph Etling passed away on Thursday January 28, 2021 in his 42nd year. Joe was a loving father and will be missed by his son Cole. Beloved husband of Heather, dear son of John and Gail and cherished brother and best friend of Jamie and his wife Linda.  Joe was a one of a kind man that touched so many lives with his passion for life, his ability to love deeply and his willingness to help others every day. He was born and raised in Wainfleet and was often found outside fixing something either for himself, his friends or family. When Joe wasn’t working hard at Vale, you would find him alongside his brother in the fields, working on equipment or cutting wood. There was always a project to build or a friend that needed a helping hand. His biggest passion in life was his son Cole. You would see Joe working with his mini sidekick not far behind. He raised Cole to work hard and to put others before himself and that is why this go fund me has been created.  Joe's priority was providing for Heather and his son so the funds raised will assist Cole with his continued education and learning through a in trust account.  
The morning of Joe's passing him and I talked long about making sure to provide for our children.  I had been with Joe and Jamie minutes before the accident and his love and zest for life was contagious. We discussed providing for our children by giving them a possible head start and encouraging them through difficult times. So true in Coles case right now.  What he is experiencing now I wouldn't want any child to witness let alone live through. Him and his dad were best buds. 
This go fund me's beneficiary is Cole Etling. There has been a "In Trust' account setup for Cole to have access to when he becomes of age.  Cole will be able to get that jump start just like Joe and I discussed before his passing. Cole is a brilliant little mind with so much going for him and a zest for life much like his father!!  

My prayer is that Cole is happy and he is loved during this difficult and emotional time!! My hope is that Cole understands the community he grew up in cares deeply for him and loves him dearly!!  

The Wainfleet community shows tremendous love through difficult times so I challenge us all to show our love and support just like Joe would!!
