Cole touched all of us and he'll never be forgotten. I wish I could offer more than words to ease your pain. Stop by anytime - you've got family and friends here.

One of the things we Horns do well is we take care of our own. Rest assured that Cole will never be forgotten, and his memorial will always be treated with the utmost and well deserved dignity.
God Bless.

Marc,
As a father of three, I can only barely fathom your pain. Your words are an inspiration to me to enjoy every moment of my childrens' lives, because you don't know how quickly you can lose them. Take heart that Cole is with his heavenly Father, but I know that can never fully ease your pain.
God bless.

God bless you and your beautiful family. One of my favorite Longhorn memories is the picture of you hugging my son at the 2001 Spring Game. You are so full of love and spirit and you serve as an inspiration to how I conduct myself as a man and a father. Thank you for all that you have given to us!

Marc,
Your son will ALWAYS be missed, not just as a great football player and Longhorn, but mostly as a wonderful young man and human being!
You never have to thank us for keeping his memory with us, his love and personality did that.
Thank you for being such a strong influence on your family as well as the Longhorn family. Cole will never be forgotten!

Your son was a gift to us all in life and football. He will always be near our hearts as will your family. Take care.
Mr. Pittman,
Thank you for allowing us to share in your grief and love for Cole. Many of us did not have the honor to meet Cole in person, but I can assure you we carry him in our hearts and prayers everyday.
You are a wonderful example of a father's love. My father was my best friend and I lost him 7 years ago. I remember him everyday and talk to him in my prayers. He taught me how to love my children.
I can't tell you what Cole sees and hears, but I can promise you that he knows that you love him and miss him dearly.
You and your family are in my prayers daily.
God Bless.

Marc,
I want to thank you for teaching me about how to openly love and cherish my children. If my children can turn out to be near the person Cole was I will know that I was a successful parent.
As a child I had the privilege of knowing and befriending Freddie Steinmark. I, as well as other orangebloods, still think about and miss Freddie, the player and the person. I know that Cole will be equally remembered and beloved.
God bless you and your family. We are proud to have the Pittman family as members of the Longhorn family. Hook'em!

Mr. Pittman,
I don't think anyone can express the graditude that so many of us feel to the Pittman family. Thank you for weaving your family into the UT spirit... I don't think there is any thread so bright.

Mr. Pittman,
My family placed a memorial to Cole - at the "special flagpole" at DKR-TMS - before the Spring Game after our tragic loss.
I promise you that we never will forget him, or stop loving him.
At the Nike Camp held at Texas A&M a few weeks ago, Harold Nash (CFL DB and Nike trainer) told the recruits:
"It’s God, Family, School, and THEN football."
I'm proud and thankful that Cole had his priorities in the right order.
God Bless.

God Bless you and your family Mr. Pittman. I don't travel down the actual road where the Lord called Cole home...but I plan on doing so one day to raise my horns and pay my respects to your son who was so dear to the Longhorn family. I mourn for your loss and my prayers go with you.

Mr. Pittman:
After attending the funeral and listening to your comments about having a relationship with your son, I met with my son in Austin about his plans after graduation. At that time, he was a Senior at UT and was really struggling with his post-college plans. I asked him to move to Shreveport, work for me and go to school part-time to get a license to qualify for my profession. He did it, it is now over 1 year later and we have never been closer. Believe me, the idea to even make the suggestion came to me driving away from the Church as I was thinking about your words.
We'll never know what you have been through but I wanted to let you know how your familys tragedy and getting to hear from you was the event that caused my life to improve (and hopefully, my sons also) Maybe this sounds weird, but I thank you for the courage to stand up and say what you did.
