It is with fond remembrance that we gather to honor the life of Donald Paul Cole, who passed away on February 28, 2026, at the age of 69. Don was born on March 11, 1956, in Mariemont, Ohio, and spent much of his life brightening the days of those around him.

Don will be lovingly remembered by his brother, Timothy (Brenda) Cole Sr., his niece Shirley Jones, and his nephew Timothy (Melanie) Cole Jr. He also leaves behind his grandnephews, Cameron and Alex, who brought him immeasurable joy and laughter. He had a special way of connecting with his family and a deep appreciation for his job and coworkers, often sharing stories that would bring smiles to everyone's faces.

As we celebrate Don's vibrant life, we invite friends and family to join us for a graveside service at Graceland Memorial Gardens on March 11, 2026, at 11:00 am. The service will take place at 5989 Deerfield Road, Milford, Ohio, where we will lay Don to rest, just in time to commemorate what would have been his 70th birthday.

Let us come together to share memories, laughter, and love, as we remember Don for the wonderful person he was. He would have wanted us to celebrate life and cherish every moment with family and friends.

Rest in peace, Donald Paul Cole; you will be missed, and your spirit will live on in our hearts.

Donald was preceded in death by parents John and Julia Cole, son John Cole and daughter Sylvia Cole
