The Prince George community is mourning the heartbreaking loss of Cole Jackson Kennedy, who passed away on May 12, 2026, at just 22 years old.
Family members, friends, and loved ones continue to share tributes honoring a young man remembered for his humor, loyalty, and deep compassion for animals.
According to his obituary shared by Prince George Funeral Service, Cole was born on October 13, 2003. His passing has left an overwhelming sense of grief among those closest to him, with many describing him as someone whose personality could instantly light up a room.
Loved ones said he had a sharp wit, an unforgettable sense of humor, and never hesitated to speak his mind. Friends often recalled how naturally funny he was and how easily he could make others laugh in even the most ordinary moments.
Cole is survived by his parents, Steve Kennedy and Cora Lee Cutway, his sister Kayleigh Kennedy, and several grandparents, extended family members, and close friends who cherished him deeply. He was predeceased by his grandfather, Norman Kennedy.
One of the strongest themes emerging from tributes is Cole’s lifelong love for animals, especially dogs. Family members shared that he found happiness in simple moments spent outdoors walking and caring for animals.
His loyal dog Ducky remained a constant companion and was described as his best friend. In honor of that passion, the family has asked that donations be made to the Prince George Humane Society instead of sending flowers.
Friends and Family Share Emotional Tributes
Messages posted online reflect the profound impact Cole had on the people around him. Friends described him as genuine, caring, and impossible to forget.
One emotional tribute simply read, “R.I.P Jackson. We are gonna miss you brother,” capturing the heartbreak many are feeling following the news of his passing.
The obituary described the pain of losing Cole as “unimaginable,” noting that his life ended far too soon. Despite the grief, family members expressed gratitude for the outpouring of love and support they have received from the community during such a difficult time.
A Celebration of Life for Cole Jackson Kennedy is scheduled for June 7, 2026, from 1 p.m. to 3 p.m. at the Prince George Golf and Curling Club in Prince George.
Loved ones are expected to gather to share memories, stories, and moments that reflect the joy Cole brought into their lives.
As family and friends continue to mourn, many are choosing to remember Cole not only for his humor and charisma but also for the kindness and warmth he shared with both people and animals.
His passing has left a lasting void in the hearts of those who knew him, and his memory will continue to live on through the stories, laughter, and love he leaves behind.
