Cole Lee Misner-Nell

In Loving Memory

It is with broken hearts that we announce the passing of Cole Lee Misner-Nell, who tragically lost his life in a car accident on January 23, 2026.

Cole was a devoted fiancé, a proud and loving father, and a deeply cherished son, grandson, brother, uncle, nephew, and friend. He leaves behind the love of his life, Loraleigh Bailey, with whom he was joyfully planning an October 2026 wedding. Together they built a beautiful family with their two precious children, Jensen and Casey-Lee Nell, who were his greatest joy.

Cole is survived by his mother, Tanya Misner, his siblings Dustin and Wade Misner-Ward, Rosamund Nell, and Larra and Livia Siew. He is reunited with his father, Casey Nell (Lisa Reid), and with his grandfather, Casey Nell Sr (Catherine).

Cole will be lovingly remembered by his grandparents, Ann Marie and Wayne Misner, and Cathie Nell, by his aunts and uncles, Amanda MacDonald, Amy (Jamie Cleveland) and Emily (Joe Clarmo), by his cousins, Blake MacDonald, Rachel, Trisha, and Lydia Clarmo, Thomas Cleveland, Shannon (Chris Clark), and Tessa and Tyler Clark, by his great aunts, Elizabeth Smalldridge (Carl Dillabough) and Nancy Sharples, and by his extended family members and his dear friends.

Though Cole’s life was far too short, his love, kindness, loyalty, and quiet strength leave a lasting impression. The memories he created will live forever in the hearts of those who were blessed to know him.

Forever loved, deeply missed, and never forgotten.
