Cole was born on September 9, 1983 to Norman “Norm” Duane Kraft and Karen Ellen (Anderson) Kraft in Olathe, Kansas. He graduated from Olathe East High School in 2002. Cole was a kind, generous and patient man and incredible salesman who loved traveling, cooking, making others laugh, animals (that loved him right back), cheering on his Jayhawks and Chiefs, and spending time with those he loved.
Cole is survived by his loving partner Amanda Allmon and her son Tyler, his parents Norm and Karen, his sister and her husband Leah and Justin Dawson, and his uncle and his partner Roger Kraft and Charles Carter. He is preceded in death by his grandparents, Loren “Sonny” and Laurel “Midge” Kraft and Donald “Don” and Ruby Anderson.
The family will memorialize Cole privately. In lieu of flowers or other gifts, please consider a donation in his memory to the Alzheimer’s Association, www.alz.org, or Great Plains SPCA, www.greatplainsspca.org.
