Tim Cole Obituary
Publish in a newspaper
Mr. Cole, 78, of Oakdale, entered eternal rest on Monday, September 15, 2025, at Allen Oaks Nursing and Rehabilitation Center, Oakdale, LA.
He was a devoted father and grandfather, whose love and guidance will be remembered forever. A proud member of the United States Army, he honorably served his country during the Korean War. He graduated from Elizabeth High School, where he was a key player on the state championship baseball team. An avid outdoorsman, he had a lifelong passion for hunting and fishing, and in his later years, he found joy in hay farming. His strength, warmth, and unwavering spirit will be deeply missed by all who knew and loved him.
He was preceded in death by his wife, Connie Cole; one son, Timothy Cole, Jr.; one great grandson, Ian Bertrand; his parents, Elliott and Edith Cole; two brothers, Jackie Cole and Nicholas Cole; and one sister, Juanita Easterling.
Those left to mourn his loss and cherish his memory include one daughter, Nakia Cole Hutchins (Robbie) of Oakdale; two brothers, Billy Ray Cole of Deville, and Dalton Cole of New Smyrna Beach, Florida; seven grandchildren, Darian McCoy, Haydn McCoy, Alexus Cole, Laura Cole, Adriana Cole, Kross Cole, and Sophia Hutchins; and five great grandchildren, Jack McCoy, Hollyn McCoy, Bruce Hartley, Rome Pavlovych, and Everly Granados-Cole.
A time of visitation will be held in the Chapel of Rush Funeral Home, Oakdale, on Friday, September 19, 2025, from 11:00 a.m. until time of service.
