Cole Anello Obituary
Anello, Cole Thomas
Age 16, of St. Louis, MO passed away Sunday, November 14th, 2021. Beloved son of Anna Lammert and Matt (Monica, nee Albair) Anello; big brother to Dominic Anello; cherished grandson of Tom & Rena Lammert, Gary Anello, and Patricia Anello (David Jockenhoefer); adored nephew of Andrew (Anne, nee Allred) Lammert, Maria Lammert, Anthony (Jaimie, nee Futrell) Anello, Billy Anello, and Michael Anello; dear cousin to Nora Lammert and Vinny Anello; dear friend to many.
Cole attended De Smet Jesuit High School in Creve Coeur, where he excelled academically and was a proud member of the soccer, lacrosse, and basketball teams. Cole was a talented and motivated player, but more importantly, he was an incredibly kind and loving young man. Those who knew him best would all agree that he had a huge heart, and a unique ability to befriend everyone he met. He was loyal, and loved spending time with his friends and family. He could light up a room with his charismatic personality and big, bright smile. He loved to laugh, to make others happy, and had an incredible sense of humor.
Cole, you will be in our hearts forever. We miss you, buddy.

Having lost my 17 year old son Andy nearly 20 years ago. I pray you will have the Faith, family and friends to help you along the road of grief. It is a nightmare we want to wake up from but can´t. We too started a scholarship fund at St Pius in Festus in Andy´s memory. It took me several years before I could a actually present it. It brings me great pride to now present it, I always share a bit of Andy when I present, I´m keeping his memory alive. May God help you find peace and happiness again.

We are thinking of all of you! Cole has been one of the brightest lights in our family since the age of 5. He was truly one of a kind with his smile, laugh, and ability to bring so many people together along the way. We will be forever grateful for our time with him and the joy and laughter he brought to us and to so many. We are praying for everyone, knowing he will be missed beyond words. What an incredible loving family and group of friends that have come together in honor of a life so vibrantly lived,

I can’t imagine your pain and loss right now and for every day ahead of you. I met Cole one time and he left an amazing impression on me. My family was eating at Mia Sorella and he was working there. Lisa introduced him to our family as we know his grandfather, Dave. He was so kind and polite and gave us a warm smile that I will never forget. I am praying for your family and I hope you feel love and prayers surrounding you.

My deepest sympathy. It´s hard to find the words because there is nothing that can be said to ease this pain but may Jesus Christ wrap you in his arms and may your family know the peace that passes all understanding. Cole is with God and he no longer has any pain or loss just peace. God bless your family and May God keep you safe and close during this difficult time. Your
son wI´ll always be with you.

Your son was a wonderful friend to my daughter when we first moved to Manchester 3 years ago ! They rode the bus together and shared snacks and he made her smile! He also was an amazing person I helped at a field trip for south middle at queeny park he helped me pick up the flag football equipment and was smiling always!
We wanted you to know Cole may be gone here but he has wings!!

I am not acquainted with anyone in the family, and cannot begin to imagine the pain and immeasurable loss you feel in losing such a kind and handsome young man. May he and his friends rest in peace, and may God give you the strength to navigate difficult days ahead. My thoughts and prayers to everyone. God bless you all.
