Cole Wilson

Cole Wilson

Cole Joseph Wilson, 18, of Butler passed away on Sunday as a result of a vehicle accident.

He was born Sept. 28, 2000, in Butler, and was the son of the late Scott B. Wilson and Tracy Adomaitis Wilson.

Cole attended Portersville Christian School, where he graduated June 1, 2019.

He was a member of the tech crew for PCS Fine Arts and performed in his first musical this spring. Cole was the captain of the archery team at PCS. He was also in the National Honor Society.

Cole was one of Mrs. Picerno’s Peeps. He attended Crosswinds Alliance and assisted in running the sound board for the church.

Cole, Carter and Kenzee made some great memories at Fortune Star Buffet. He and his mom had an unbreakable bond. He was her rock for 18 years. Cole and Carter were more than brothers — completely inseparable best friends.

Cole had a passion for Christ and he lived to love.

He was to attend Penn State at Altoona in the fall for electromechanical engineering technologies. Instead, Cole took the fast-track to Glory. His final contribution in this life was as an organ donor.

Cole is survived by his Mom, Tracy Adomaitis Wilson; one sister, Kenzee Wilson; one brother, Carter Boyle; his stepdad, David Boyle; three uncles, Kirk Wilson, Mark (Lisa) Adomaitis and Sean (Melissa) Adomaitis; three aunts, Teri (Fred) Bottles, Angela (Paul) Bianchi, and Wendy (Darryl) Rosenbauer; Grandma Sandi Wilson, Pap Charles Adomaitis, Grandma Darlene (Pete) Geibel;

He is also survived by his cousins, Damien (Elena), Gabby (Jamie), Dominic, Nathan, Savannah, Kayla, Ana Marie, Josh, Markie, Anthony, Nicole, Rylie, Bastian, Violet and Baby Rosenbauer; three stepsisters, Savannah, Haley and Timara Boyle; and numerous extended family and friends.

Cole will be greatly missed by the archery team and the Portersville Christian Class of 2019.

He was preceded in death by his Dad, Scott B. Wilson, Grandma Joyce Adomaitis, Pa-Paw Gene Wilson, Great-Grandma Gloria Brunner, Papa Walt Hoover, and Great-Grandma Jean Hoover.
