James Cole Obituary

December 18, 1973 – August 10, 2026
James Cole, 52, passed away on August 10, 2026.
Born on December 18, 1973, James was a lifelong resident of St. Louis, Missouri. St. Louis was more than simply the place he lived—it was home, and it remained home throughout his entire life.
James was a beloved father, grandfather, brother, and uncle. He leaves behind his son, Airaymon, and his daughter, Nene, along with his grandchildren, siblings, nieces, nephews, extended family, and friends whose lives were touched by his presence.
James was a hardworking man who knew how to work with his hands. Throughout his life, he worked as a handyman and plumber, becoming the kind of person who could fix things, figure things out, and put his skills to good use. But the work he did was only one small part of the man he was.
What mattered most was the place James held within his family. He was someone's dad, someone's grandpa, someone's brother, someone's uncle, and someone's friend. Those are the titles that remain long after everything else fades.
His passing leaves an empty place that cannot simply be filled, but his life will continue to be remembered through the family he leaves behind, the stories they share, the memories they carry, and all the little pieces of him that will live on through them.
James will be deeply loved, greatly missed, and forever remembered.
Your life was a blessing, your memory a treasure.
You are loved beyond words and missed beyond measure.
