Born in Philadelphia on March 3, 1985, Daniel lived most of his life in Southampton. He was the beloved son of Joseph P. Cole Jr. and Carol Cole. He attended Our Lady of Good Counsel and graduated from Archbishop Wood in 2003. He later went on to receive his BA from Temple University in 2010.
Daniel loved animals, especially dogs and fish, and spent most of his professional career caring for them. He was an expert on aquatic life. He also enjoyed creative writing and exploring the regional wilderness through fishing and camping.
In addition to his mother, Daniel is survived by his brother, Joseph, his sister, Jill, her husband Daniel Miller and two children, Aya and River. He will be deeply missed and remembered as a gentle and loving son, brother, uncle, and friend.
