Memorial Fund for the Family of I. Duane Cole

Donation protected
On May 29th, 2019, tragedy struck the Cole family when they learned about the passing of their beloved Duane.  He was known by many names - son, husband, father, brother, preacher, friend, co-worker...

The loss of Ivan Duane Cole created a ripple effect in the world.  Family, friends, coworkers, fellow believers, and acquaintances near and far felt the painful loss of such a wonderful man. 

Many have come forward to share stories, photos, life-changing interactions, and other valuable memories with Duane’s family.  These unique memories are now all we have and these are the most prized treasures Duane could have left us.  In his own way, he touched the lives of so many people whether he realized it or not.  For this we are blessed and eternally grateful. 

With that in mind, we stand together working to comfort and support Duane’s family while they figure out how to cope with this sudden loss. We all want to help them honor such a wonderful man, but how can we help?  We’re left wanting to help, but also feeling helpless.  What can we do to make an impact and honor Duane’s memory?

By donating even a small amount, we can help ease the Cole family’s financial strain as they lay Duane to rest.  By offering financial assistance, we lessen the burden and make it easier for Tianna, Tiara, Taylor, and Levi to grieve.  We join together as believers, family, and friends to let Duane’s relatives work together to discover their “new normal”.

Duane, we will all miss you greatly. We cherish the memories you left us and we will take care of your family as best as we can.

“Eternal rest grant to him, Oh Lord; and let light perpetual shine upon him. May his soul, and the souls of all the faithful departed, through the mercy of God, rest in peace.”
