I am terribly sorry for your loss. I was one of Kolby’s Graphic Design professors at Fanshawe College and he was a pleasure to have in class and a fine young man. He will be remembered as such.
Alisha Moore
I am deeply sorry for this tremendous loss and my heartfelt condolences go out to all of Kolby’s family and friends.
I met Kolby as a fellow student during my time at Fanshawe College. I hadn’t had the chance to know him well, but he was always incredibly kind and well liked!
If there is anything our class can do to help in addition to donating, I’m sure we would all love to help any way we could!
My deepest sympathies 💙

I worked with Kolby at NEG. We ate lunch together almost everyday and got to know each other. He was hilarious, talented and kind hearted. He always made me laugh! I will truly miss him and my thoughts are with his family. He will be missed. – Miss you Timbit.
Dawn Phillips
I had the absolute pleasure of working with Kolby during his time with us at New Era. I was impressed by his kind heart and wonderful personality. He will forever be remembered as a talented, full of life sweet young man. He left his mark on all of us here and we are truly blessed to have known him. We all send our deepest condolences and heartfelt sympathy to the family.
