Cole C. Watson

The unexpected passing of Cole has profoundly shocked his family, friends, and loved ones, who are still grappling with this heartbreaking loss. He led a rich and interesting life, with so much more left to experience. His departure feels like a tragedy that has come far too soon. We will always remember the significant impact he made on our lives. Despite his imperfections, he was an amazing soul who will be deeply missed. Cole had a unique ability to make anyone feel seen; he had so much love to give, and those he truly loved felt it. Those who knew him will remember how he affectionately referred to himself as "big husband" after marriage; it was one of his favorite catchphrases.

Cole is survived by his wife, Ariel, and his children, Alyianna, Atlas, and Alexander. He is also survived by his parents, Celeste and Chad, as well as his siblings, Anthony (along with his wife Trystenne and children, McKinley, Reagan, Kennedy), Byshop, Celeste, and Cody.
