Daniel Cole

Dan Cole, age 61, went to be with his Lord and Savior Friday, March 3, 2023. He was preceded in death by his parents Donald and Isla Cole; father-in-law, Howard Vos; and brother-in-law, Mike Vos. He is survived by his wife, Holly (Vos) Cole; sons Jeff (Kristina) Cole and Travis Cole; grandson, Jonathan Cole; brothers Paul (Catherine) and Randy Cole; mother-in-law, Gloria Vos; sister-in-law, Kelly Jensen (Lane); and many nieces, nephews, uncles, aunts, cousins, and friends.

Dan lost his 12 and a half year battle with cancer March 3. Before and even during his battle with cancer, biking and running were a joy of Dan’s life. Dan was also an avid sports fan. A lot of memories were created with family and friends while watching or listening to a game. He loved long road trips with his wife, Holly, as well as other family and friends. Dan will forever be remembered for his blog Fishrocks where he shared the trials and tribulations of cancer entrenched with sarcasm and humor. Feel free to visit at www.fishrocksblog.com.
