Vincent Cole Obituary
July 5, 1949 - November 15, 2023
Mariposa, California - On November 15, 2023, we lost the love of our lives, Vincent Arthur Cole, Jr., following a brave battle with cancer.
Vince was an amazing father, husband, and friend. He retired after giving 42 years to PG&E. He proudly served in the Navy from 1968 to 1972 as a boilerman. He was an avid motorcyclist, nature lover, hunter, fisherman, and proponent of his country. He especially loved to cook and spend time with his family. He was a great teacher and mentor.
Vince was preceded in death by his mother and father, Vincent and Marian Cole, brother, Charles Cole, and sister, Patty Cole.
He is survived by his wife of four years, Rhonda M. Cole; a brother, Steve; and sisters, Laura and Niki; a daughter, Kassadee King; three stepsons, Dennis Ferreira III, John Ferreira, and William Ferreira; a bonus daughter and son, Stephanie M. Amezcua and Erik M. Amezcua; nine grandchildren; and, 10 great grandchildren.
Vince's love, humor, and easy-going nature will be missed. A memorial ride will be scheduled in the Spring.
Until we meet again, Mr. Cole…..

I am so glad I knew Vince Cole, an outstanding man, proud of his country, a leader and dedicated to the American Legion, and a loving husband to Rhonda. My sincere condolences to Rhonda and other members of vince' family. Vince was so proud and dedicated to Rhonda and their very short time together was so beautiful. Bless you Rhonda for making Vince' life so wonderful the past few years. He was so dedicated and loving to you. The memories will live on.

I first met Vince when I joined the legion and the riders. You could not have met a nicer person and it was a privilege to have spent time with him.
