Cole's mother posted an update to the page the next day."Early this morning, God called our beautiful boy, Cole, home. Although his time felt so incredibly short, we are grateful for every single moment we got to love him. We thank God for the gift of Cole's life. We're so thankful we got the privilege of being his parents," she wrote."Thank you all for the love and support for Cole and the rest of our family," she added.Cole Harris opens up about trading soccer for the stage, and the day his sister needed him most: View this post on Instagram Instagram PostBack in April 2025, News Channel 5 previously sat down with Cole Harris and he opened up in detail about his journey into acting and even shared about his younger sister's illness.
