Bailey Cote
August 3, 2025
It is with profound sadness that we announce the passing of Bailey Maurice Cote, age 26, of Abbotsford, B.C., on August 3, 2025. Born on November 19, 1998, in Mission, B.C., Bailey was the cherished son of Carey and Katherine Cote.
Bailey attended Yale Senior Secondary School and was known for his vibrant spirit, warm smile, and gregarious personality. He had a deep love for his son and his pets, and found joy in music, movies, fitness, and spending time with his family.
He is lovingly remembered by his parents, Katherine and Carey Cote; his sibling, Jules Cote; his beloved son, Wyatt; his grandparents, Loralee Dueck, Donnaline Cote, Rod Dueck, and Lynne O’Donnell; as well as his many aunts, uncles, and cousins: Rod (Chrissy), Jeff (Hiromi), Randy, Rosalie (Stephen), Michele, Craig (Angela), Maureen (Diego), Genna (Travis), Cole, Josh, Ethan, Momoka, Savannah, Austin, Colby, Chase, Ashley, Bradley, Levi, Julian, Aurora, and Gabriel — all of whom will deeply miss his presence and zest for life.
Bailey was predeceased by his beloved Aunt Melanie Regier, his grandfather Maurice Cote, great-grandmother Henrietta Hellyer, and great-grandparents Arnold and Winnie Koeller.
A funeral service will be held on Thursday, August 14, at 11:00 a.m. at Trinity Memorial United Church, 33737 George Ferguson Way, Abbotsford. Interment will follow at Hazelwood Cemetery, with a reception to be held back at the church.

There are no words, only deep sorrow. Bailey had such a bright, undeniable light about him. My family and I are sending you all our love and strength during this time. His grandma used to babysit my sister and me, which is how I first met Bailey when we were young. Later in life, we reconnected, and that same bright light was still so clear in him. Please know our hearts are with you in this time of mourning. From the Fontaine family. ~ Kaleigh fontaine
