4 years agoLast Saturday, the hockey world was shocked by the tragic loss of Colby Cave after he was taken far too soon by a brain bleed and today, his family issued a statement to thank friends, family and the hockey community for the support during what is undoubtedly a very difficult time.
I can’t even imagine what the Caves have gone through over these past few days as they try to process everything that has happened, but I sincerely hope that they’re able to find some sort of comfort in the outpouring of support that they’ve received from the hockey community at large.
Today, Cave’s family issued a statement to express their thanks:
There are no words to comfort a grieving family with a loss such as this. Yet, our community, our friends, and our family, found a way to wrap themselves around us, without saying a word.People that impacted Colb’s life seemed to stand out like beacons… teachers, hockey coaches, babysitters, buddies, and his family. We are so sad, and so broken for all of you too.Colb’s competitive nature always fuelled a drive to want to be better, and do better, in every aspect of his life; certainly what we are most proud of. To know that others recognized and admired those same qualities in Colby, makes us even more proud.
This past Tuesday, the Cave family along with the Edmonton Oilers organization announced the launch of the Colby Cave Memorial Fund to help carry on Colby’s legacy and provide community programs involving mental health initiatives and providing support to those less fortunate. Rest easy, Colby.
