    Carlon Lesley Cole was a devoted father, brother, and friend who found joy in life’s simple pleasures. He enjoyed cooking, hunting, fishing, and farming. He was a roofer by trade. Whether spending time outdoors or surrounded by family and friends, Carlon cherished the moments that mattered most. He will be remembered for his love of the outdoors, his hardworking nature, and the special memories he shared with those who knew and loved him.

    Those left to cherish Carlon’s memory include his three sons, Lyndon Cole, Thomas Treadwell, and Matthew Cole; his daughter, Lesley Cole; his two brothers, Ardis Cole and John Burtman Cole; and his ten grandchildren. He also leaves behind numerous extended family members and dear friends who will forever cherish his memory.

    Carlon was preceded in death by his loving wife, Connie Cole; and his parents, Albert Cole, Jr. and Nola M. Cole.
