Colby Cave's AHL teammate releases song remembering late Oiler

Edmonton Oilers farmhand Cooper Marody released a heartfelt song Friday in memory of his former teammate Colby Cave, who passed away April 11 at the age of 25 after suffering a brain bleed.

All proceeds from the song will go toward the Colby Cave Memorial Fund.

Marody wrote "Agape" as a tribute and gift to Cave's widow, Emily.

"I want to thank Cooper Marody for this song, and specifically for using words that meant so much to Colby and I," Emily said, per the Oilers. "'Agape' was a word that Colby and I said to each other because we felt that 'I Love You' never fully described the amount of love we had for each other.

"'Agape' is the highest form of love," she continued. "Selfless, sacrificial, and unconditional love; it persists no matter the circumstance. I'm so grateful I got to experience this love with my best friend. Getting to love Colb is the best thing I will ever do and continue to do until we see each other again."

"Agape" is available for download on all music platforms, including Apple Music and Spotify.
