WALLINGFORD, CT — (From Wallingford Funeral Home): Cole Corso, 17, of Wallingford, son of Gary and Jennifer Corso, brother of Skylar Corso, passed away unexpectedly, July 19, 2023 at Yale New Haven Hospital.

Cole will be missed from a depth that cannot be measured. His smile, laugh, intelligence, kindness, what he found funny, his likes and dislikes, his style in communicating, his clothes and his food.

Cole’s artwork was truly amazing. He had a natural talent with his black and white drawings and portraits. He spent many, many hours drawing in his spare time.

Cole loved going for daily walks with his mom, year-round just walking and talking, enjoying being outside with good conversation. He had a specific love for nature from trees to rocks and the animals around.

Cole's favorite place to go to was Boston, MA. He loved walking around the city. He also enjoyed the family trip to Salem, MA every fall. Just walking around on the coastline with his dad, picking up sea glass and odd shells to take home was one of his happiest times. He also loved taking late night walks with mom through the town when it was quiet.

Cole had a love for playing his computer games with his friends online. His family loved hearing the echo of his loud laughter being heard throughout the whole house. Cole felt really good when he would buy things for his sister that he knew she would love and put a smile on her face. They would play electronics and non-electronic games for hours competing and making each other laugh

His family will remember Cole as opening their lives, minds, hearts and intelligence in ways they could never have imagined.
