Welcome
Sail on and Fly High
A nonprofit created in honor of Sailor Cole Lawrence. You can sail through the rough seas and fly high to reach your dreams.
Sailor Cole Lawrence was born on April 1, 2004, in Council Bluffs, Iowa. He was the son of Dave and Cassy (Brouse) Lawrence, brother to Wyatt and Maizy Lawrence all of Council Bluffs, IA. Sailor attended Lewis Central Community School.
He was the most amazing and unique human to ever have been on this planet. Such an old soul, and he loved all the finer things in life. He could also get back to basics in nature and be a mountain man. He was the epitome of a teenage boy enmeshed with an elderly man, evidenced by his wild adventures, and his love of drinking coffee and hot tea, eating fancy cheeses, and European pastries.
He had the most eclectic tastes. He loved to cook, do anything outdoors, have fun, and most of all he loved to make people laugh. He had wanted to learn how to fly a plane since he could speak, and recently had been taking flying lessons to get his pilot's license. He flew a plane before he was legally able to drive a car. He wanted to learn how to sail, and had spoken of plans to sail around the world.
When he had an idea, he became fully invested in that passion. Although he went through many different passions throughout his short life, he was constantly entertaining, and it was inspiring to see him get so involved in every single thing that he did. He easily let everyone around him know that he loved them. He was open with his affection both verbally and physically. He thrived in showing love and shock and awe.
Sailor died on Tuesday, March 16. 2021, at the age of 16 years old. He will be deeply missed by all that were blessed to know him.
