Roy Thomas Cole

It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Roy Cole, who left us on February 3, 2026, at the age of 69.

Roy was married to Lori, with whom he shared many years and although separated, remained on friendly terms. He was a proud, caring father to Evelyn (Scot) Phipps, Heather (Tom) Cole, Gloria Cole, Raymond (Dipti) Cole, and Kymberly (Jesse) Cole. His family was the center of his world, and he took great joy in watching it grow.

He will be forever remembered by his grandchildren Sean, Alexsandria, Mary, Braedyn, Cheyenne, William, Jasmine, Saphire, Ethan, Syrenia, Izabela, Brooklynn, and Bryan, each of whom held a special place in his heart and brought him immense pride and happiness.

Roy was a loving brother to Heather (Michael) Brown and a steady presence to those who knew him well. He was predeceased by his parents, Irene and Eugene, whom he carried with him always.

Those who knew Roy will remember his love of classic cars, his appreciation for good music, and his enjoyment of a strong cup of coffee—simple pleasures that reflected his down-to-earth nature. He had a quiet way of showing his love, a steady strength, and a presence that made people feel at ease.

Roy’s legacy lives on through the family he loved so deeply and the memories shared by all who were fortunate enough to know him. He will be deeply missed and lovingly remembered.
