Tributes have been paid to one of the founding members of the Lasardine Cycling Club who passed away following a \u201cbrave fight\u201d with motor neurone disease.<\/p>\n
Trevor Cole died on 12 February 2026.<\/p>\n
Lasardine Cycling Club paid tribute to the founding member in a post on Facebook.<\/p>\n
The post said: \u201cIf life is a box of chocolates, Trevor didn\u2019t just pick one; he tried the whole selection, offered you a bite, then told you a story about the time he ate a similar one with someone famous in a place you\u2019ve never heard of\u2026 and somehow made it sound completely normal.<\/p>\n
\u201cCycling, work, music, motor cars, fine food, good wine, Trevor collected passions the way the rest of us collect caf\u00e9 stops. <\/p>\n
\u201cHe made friends everywhere, with everyone, from every walk of life. Once you met him, you didn\u2019t forget him, and you certainly didn\u2019t escape without being entertained.\u201d<\/p>\n
Trevor was \u201cinstrumental\u201d in founding the Lasardine Cycling Club in 2014, according to the post.<\/p>\n
It continued: \u201cIn classic Trevor fashion, he promptly appointed himself El Presidente first Sardine on the list, naturally.<\/p>\n
\u201cJersey Stroke Support was close to his heart, and thanks in no small part to Trevor\u2019s hard work and persuasive charm, it remains the charity we support.\u201d<\/p>\n
The post added: \u201cEvery Sardine has their own Trevor story, too many to fit into one post, and too precious to rush. We\u2019re sure everyone who met him will have one too.<\/p>\n
\u201cThank you, El Presidente, for enriching our lives, for the laughter, the legend, and the friendship.\u201d<\/p>\n
Jersey Stroke Support commented: \u201cWe are very sorry to hear of the sad loss of Trevor. He was a wonderful supporter of the charity and will be missed by many.\u201d<\/p>\n
Jon Barratt added: \u201cRIP Trevor. We will go on cycling and reminiscing about all of the happiness and laughter we had with you. Rest easy my friend.\u201d<\/p>\n
