It is with profound sadness that we share the passing of Jessy Cole, who left us on March 14, 2026, after a courageous battle with a rare disease and cancer. For four years, Jessy faced tremendous challenges with extraordinary strength and resilience, including undergoing a liver transplant that gave her—and all who loved her—precious additional time together.
Though she was only 38, Jessy lived a life full of adventure, creativity, love, and purpose. She traveled the world, embraced every moment with curiosity, and left an indelible mark on everyone fortunate enough to know her. Her spirit was radiant, playful, and, as she liked to call it, full of “magical chaos.” Jessy inspired those around her to live boldly, love deeply, and pursue their passions without hesitation.
Jessy’s vision and generosity extended beyond her life. Her family and friends are committed to honoring her legacy by completing projects she cared deeply about: publishing her memoir, establishing a nonprofit to bring art to transplant hospital rooms, and advancing her idea to create a platform for transplant patients to connect and support one another. These efforts will ensure her impact continues to touch lives for years to come.
For those who knew her, Jessy was a gift, a presence of light and wonder. Her memory will live on in the joy she brought, the lessons she taught, and the love she shared. In moments of reflection, signs of her spirit will continue to appear, as they have—reminding her family and friends of her enduring presence.
Jessy Cole will be remembered with immense love, admiration, and gratitude. Though her time with us was far too brief, her life was extraordinary, and her legacy will inspire us all to live with courage, creativity, and heart.
