Cole F. Sulenta was born on May 21, 1985, in Jackson, Wyo., to Susie and John Sulenta of Pinedale. Growing up in Pinedale, there wasn’t anything that Cole wouldn’t do and he deeply loved his family and friends. He was a master of all board sports, hockey, golf and dirt biking: so many extreme sports! He was a fearless athlete.
Cole had a love for music that was equally matched by his tremendous talent. He played the piano, trombone and guitar, and he so loved to sing. Cole spent the last 13 years of his life in Maui selling real estate, loving the ocean and playing his music at random beachside and rooftop venues.
Above all, Cole was a special, unique soul. He was a one-of-a-kind human, so talented and exhilarating, a favorite to so many that loved him. A magical presence when he entered the room, Cole was truly life-changing.
Cole is survived by his mother and father, Susie and John Sulenta, brother Sage and cousin Chastity Pfaff, and many, many close family and friends. A celebration of life will be held in Pinedale next summer, a date and time to be announced. In lieu of flowers, Cole’s family requests donations be made to the Pinedale Fine Arts Council.
