Ramsey Coles Obituary
May 8, 1991 ~ December 29, 2016
It is with the heaviest heart that we announce the passing of our much beloved son, Ramsey Oliver Coles.
Ramsey was a remarkable talent, a wonderful son, grandson, brother and friend who was loved dearly by all that knew him.
He lived life in a full and deliberate way, was gifted artistically, academically and athletically with wit and dry humor magnifying his already larger than life personality.
He never forgot the many blessings in his life and spent several summers in India volunteering as an English teacher for children in rural villages, conducting research on lead contamination and home reconstruction.
Ramsey is survived by his mother and father, Jennifer and Martin, his grandparents Madeleine, Jack and Mary and his siblings Tristan, Kiernan and Maddie.
A memorial service celebrating Ramsey's remarkable life will be held at the Mercer Island Presbyterian Church on Mercer Island at 1:30 pm on Monday, Jan 2nd.The address is: 3605 84th Ave SE, Mercer Island, WA 98040
The family has asked that no flowers should be sent.
