Obituary
Dennis Cole, a beloved husband, father, grandfather, and great-grandfather, passed away peacefully on July 17, 2025, at the age of 72. Born on September 12, 1952, in Detroit, Michigan, Dennis spent his final days in Taylor, Michigan, surrounded by the love of his family.
Dennis dedicated his life to his tire shop business, where he worked tirelessly and passionately from a young age. His commitment to his work was matched only by his enthusiasm for his personal interests, particularly boating and race cars. These pursuits brought him great joy and fulfillment throughout his life.
He was preceded in death by his parents, Bethel and Eula, and his brothers, Leon, Ricky, and Vern. Dennis leaves behind a loving family who will cherish his memory: his devoted wife, Joyce; his children, Alisa (Steven) Cosby, Dennis Dallas Cole Jr., Patricia (Shane) Morgan, Justin (Taryne) Cole, and Nicholas (Chelsea) Cole. He also leaves behind his siblings, Betty, Vance, Bernice, and Roland.
Dennis was blessed with a large family that included his grandchildren—Brandon, Bradlee, Kanzis, Kolin, Kayden, Deanna, Sarah, Dillion, Savanah, Jocelyn, Jaydon, Brooklynn, Paitynn, Maisynn, Ashlynn, Braelynn, and Cailynn—who were his pride and joy. He also adored his great-grandchildren, Westen, Avery, Ryder, Billy, Cora, Colton, and Lainey Quinn. Each of them held a special place in his heart, and he treasured the moments spent with them.
Dennis's legacy is one of dedication, love, and passion for both his family and his interests. He will be deeply missed by all who knew him, but his spirit will live on in the cherished memories shared by his family and friends.
