He was born in Norway, Dec. 20, 2009, the son of Stephen Dehetre and Renee Leland.

Everywhere he went he made lifelong friends, he was loved by many.

Cole was his dad’s everything, his whole world, the light to his darkness, his best friend. He meant everything and more to his father, they were two peas in a pod, couldn’t be separated for anything. Cole was the other half that made his father whole. He will be forever loved and missed.
