Aaron James Cole (56) of Fort Collins, Colorado passed away on 02/02/2025.
Aaron was known to have a boundless heart of gold and unrestrained free-spirited soul. He inspired many by always giving without hesitation, even when there was little to offer. Most people who had the pleasure of crossing paths with Aaron would agree that he never met a stranger. Even in the face of hardship, Aaron remained positive and bright.
He was preceded in death by his father, Lane Robert Cole, and grandparents, Ronald & Betty Jordan and Robert & Betty Cole. He is survived by his wife of 30 years, Valerie Cole; three children Alyster Cole, Rachel Dias, and Alissa Keegan; mother Valorie Wieland; siblings Danielle Nix (Joseph) and Wesley Perrin; nieces Tesa Nix and Shayln Nix Modlak; and a beloved community of friends in Fort Collins.
Although Aarons physical presence may no longer grace our lives, his spirit will continue to uplift us. May his memory be a blessing, and may we carry forth his legacy of love and compassion in all that we do. Aaron will continue his journey home to his family in Tennessee for his final resting place.
