Kenneth Lloyd Cole Obituary
It is with great sadness, that the family of Kenneth “Ken” Lloyd Cole announce his passing on June 3rd, 2020. Ken was born to George “Frisco” & Winnifred “Winnie” Cole on December 26th, 1947 at home in Semans, Saskatchewan. Growing up in Semans, Ken would move to Regina for a short while and then to Saskatoon, where he continued to live until his passing. Family and friends are welcome to leave their condolences on this memorial page and share them with the family.
Ken was an Army Veteran, followed by a career with SAMA. He was employed with SAMA until his retirement.
Ken was passionate about many things. His absolute favourite hobby was golf. He loved playing and watching golf. His favourite place to golf in recent years was Delisle Golf Club with his brother and best friend Wes. Ken also enjoyed reading, word puzzles and catching the Roughrider games on television. He was constantly educating himself and retained information like a sponge. He could be engaged in reading a book or solving a puzzle while watching one of his favourite shows Jeopardy at the same time; blurting out the answers without thought. But what made Ken happiest, was to be with family and friends. Including his love of kitties, especially his own, Babie and Monkie.
Ken is survived by his loving wife of 30 years, his world, Mickie; his son Pat (Michelle) O’Brian and grandchildren Aidan, Caelan & Alisha; his daughter Jenn O’Brian; his brother Wes (Anne) Cole; his sister Marlene (Michael) Neufeld; his sister-in-law's Faye Cole & Judy Waddington; his brother-in-law Stephen (Julie) Waddington; close friend Lane Cooper as well as many cousins, nephews, nieces and friends. Ken was predeceased by his parents, Frisco & Winnie Cole; brothers, Myron Cole & Vic Cole; nephew Bradley Cole; close friend Jim Travaglini as well as countless others.
We love you infinity.
