James "Jimmy" Slade Cole

James “Jimmy” Slade Cole, 19, of Grand Junction, Colorado and Pensacola, Florida, passed away on January 18, 2025.

It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of our beloved Jimmy Cole, who was born on December 29, 2005, in Grand Junction, Colorado, to Keasha and Tony Cole. Jimmy’s life was filled with the things he loved: his family, his friends, his music, and his passions for working on his truck, riding his 4-wheeler, and playing video games. He was a dedicated worker at Whataburger and had a special bond with his beloved pit-bulls, Freya and Gizmo, as well as his two cats, Smokey and Frankie. Jimmy also loved being a father to his 3 year old son, Desmond. His goal was to get back to Grand Junction to be with him. 

He was preceded in death by his paternal grandfather, Delmer Eugene Cole and his Aunt, Nicole Cole. 

Jimmy is survived by his son, Desmond Slade Cole; mother, Keasha Cagle; father, Tony Cole; paternal grandmother, Betty Cole; maternal grandparents, Jim and Liz Cagle; many aunts and uncles; numerous cousins.

 A Celebration of Life centered around his love for music and will be held Saturday, April 26th 2025; 11:00 am at the Fraternal Order of Eagles Aerie 595, 1674 US-50, Grand Junction, CO 81503. We invite you to wear something that reflects his unique style—whether it’s a shirt from a favorite band or something that shows the music that made him smile, cowboy boots and wranglers, or come to come as you are and celebrate Jimmy's life with us.
