Frank R. Cole Jr.

Frank passed away on December 28, 2025, survived by his wife Rema and children Ryan (Shannon), Bracaria, and Cameron as well as aunts, uncles, cousins, and other family. He was the son of Frank Cole Sr and Mary Ann Cole and the brother of Kim Wright. He leaves behind a legacy of warmth, laughter, and love that touched everyone fortunate enough to know him.

A devoted family man above all else, Frank cherished every moment spent with his loved ones. His family was his greatest pride and the center of his world.

To know Frank was to feel instantly at home. He had a rare gift for making everyone who crossed his path feel seen, valued, and welcomed. Whether you were a lifelong friend or someone he’d just met, Frank had a way of drawing you in with his genuine warmth and easy charm.

Frank was, without question, the life of every gathering. His infectious energy, quick smile, and roaring laugh could light up any room, turning ordinary moments into cherished memories. Friends and family will forever remember the sound of his laughter and the way he made every occasion feel like a celebration.

When he wasn’t surrounded by the people he loved, Frank could often be found watching a Dallas Cowboys game or happily working on cars with a beer and smoke in hand. He had a true passion for anything with an engine. The open road called to him as well. He was an avid motorcycle rider who understood the freedom that comes with two wheels and an open highway.

And yes, the man could wear a salmon-colored shirt like nobody else.

Frank will be deeply missed by all who knew him, but his spirit lives on in the countless lives he brightened. He reminded us all to embrace life fully, welcome others warmly, and never miss a chance to bring joy to those around us.

In keeping with Frank's sense of humor and enjoyment of anything but "normal", a Mass of Christian Burial will be held at Our Lady of Hope Catholic Church on Friday, January 2, 2026, at 8:30 am. A Gathering of Friends and Family for a visitation/viewing will then take place Friday evening at Volusia Memorial Funeral Home - Port Orange, beginning at 4 pm, with a more formal time of remembrance and memory sharing at 6pm. A further celebration of Frank's life and legacy will take place at a reception Saturday, January 3rd from 12 pm - 4 pm at Mulligan's Grille, 3830 S. Nova Road, Port Orange FL.
