Harold Cole Obituary


HAROLD LEE COLE, 65, of Nitro, WV departed life on Saturday November 2, 2024 after a short illness at Hubbard Hospice House, West, South Charleston.
He was born on December 24, 1958 in Ashland, KY to the late Don and Junantia Cole.
Left to cherish his memory is his wife of 42 years, Cindy Cole; son, Matt Cole (Danielle) of Liberty; brother, Donald Cole (Kay) of Cattlesburg, KY and two special granddogs, Chumlee and Ziva along with several nieces and nephews.
Harold was a graduate of Boyd County High School in 1976. He was a gifted musician playing bass guitar and managing bands at age 12 from 1970 to 1996 full time. Harold played with many local and national acts through the years such as Billy Ray Cyrus, Jeff Copley, The Players, Eagles Tribute Band and recently the Crosstowne Band. Harold also was an accomplished businessman owning and operating All Clean Carpet Cleaning from 1996 until 2017 which he enjoyed working for many customers in the tri-state along with several federal contracts in the Washington DC area. Harold also was well known for his passion in the late 1990's and early 2000's for building racing go karts and working on ways to make them faster on the track.
The family would also like to thank the University of Cincinnati, where Harold received his liver transplant in 2020, for giving Harold several more years of a quality life.
To honor Harold's wishes, he will be cremated with no services.
The family is planning a big memorial for Harold in the next few months in which all friends and family are welcome.

Cindy and Matt.and Danielle
I was so heartbroken to hear of Harold's passing. Harold gave me an opportunity to perform professionally and on a.bigger stage and scale than I ever had in music. I also considered him to be my friend. If I live to be 1000, I'll never forget the.fun.we had, the advice he gave, and talking about our health adventures. Know in your hearts that there was.no greater love than.his family. May God be with you always.
