The community continues to mourn the heartbreaking loss of Kolby Polomcean following a tragic accident that claimed his life.

Known for his humor, hard work, and fearless personality, Kolby touched countless lives both on and off the track.

Friends, family, and colleagues remember Kolby for the way he carried himself—with confidence, kindness, and a trademark crooked smirk that often followed a witty remark.

His “go-get-it” attitude and ability to make people laugh made him a favorite among those who knew him.

In the wake of Kolby’s accident, Triple Moon Sign & Design announced a special tribute for the upcoming Saturday track event.

Per his father, Scott Polomcean’s request, stickers bearing Kolby’s name and memory will be available for every car going down the track.

The stickers will be offered for a free-will donation, with all proceeds going directly to Kolby’s family.

Aaron Brown, a close friend, shared his heartfelt farewell:

“Make sure you show the Amish how the skinny pedal works. Good luck.”

Other drivers, including Nate Juron, pledged to display the memorial sticker during their races, while supporters from outside the track community requested stickers to honor Kolby at other events.

Dave Barlow, a top fan in the racing community, suggested additional fundraising efforts, such as placing donation helmets at the fairgrounds, to help Kolby’s family during this difficult time.

Kolby’s mother expressed deep grief while asking for privacy as the family navigates the overwhelming pain of their loss.

She assured the community that details regarding arrangements will be shared once plans are finalized.

The outpouring of condolences has been overwhelming, with hundreds of friends, coworkers, and former classmates sharing memories of Kolby’s generosity, humor, and dedication.

Many recalled working alongside him at Saputo and other jobs, praising his strong work ethic and positive spirit.

Kolby’s friends describe him as a man who spoke his mind, worked tirelessly, and stood by those he cared about.

His impact stretched from the racetrack to the workplace, and his absence will be deeply felt.

Sean Miller, a union representative who worked closely with Kolby, reflected:

“He was a fighter and full of energy… Always considered a friend to me. Stand-up kid.”

Others, including teachers and former employers, remembered him as dependable, upbeat, and respectful—a young man who left an impression everywhere he went.

Though Kolby’s accident has left a void in the hearts of many, the memories he created will continue to inspire those who knew him.

From the roar of engines on the track to laughter among friends, his spirit will live on in the community that loved him so deeply.

Plans for services and further memorials are expected to be announced in the coming days as family, friends, and the racing community prepare to give Kolby a farewell worthy of the vibrant life he lived.
