Cole graduated from Cary High School in 1990 and attended East Carolina University. He worked at Bank of America and other major companies over the years.
He was a talented and gifted musician and guitarist and performed with several bands locally. He created his own band, Armada, and recorded his original music. Cole's musical ties ran so deep, everywhere. He left a permanent impression in the rock music scene. It is validating and comforting to know how much he was loved and respected by so many friends.
Music was his life, even from a very early age. He was always seen with a smile on his face and looking forward to his next performance.
Cole truly lived life to the fullest and he will be deeply missed by all.
