"Zapustila nas je izjemna oseba, ki je bila občudovana, kamorkoli je prišla," je zapisal predsednik kluba Bob Nicholson, legendarni Wayne Gretzky pa je na Twitter zapisal: "Bil je izjemen hokejist s svetlo prihodnostjo, hkrati pa odličen in pošten mož. Naše misli in molitve so z ženo in celotno družino."
Žena Emily je povedala, da je bil Colby od torka v umetni komi, zaradi omejitev obiskov v času pandemije pa ga v bolnišnici ni smela obiskati.
Cave je v ligi NHL igral štiri sezone. Bil je član Edmonton Oilers in Boston Bruins, na 67 tekmah pa je zbral štiri zadetke in pet podaj.
