| About | Andrew Grolock Cole aka Andy Cole was born to Fred and Jennifer Cole, in Houston, Texas, on November 1st, 1979. He rode his last ride on April 14th, 2023. He was preceded in death by his brother: Navy Airman, Charles James Cole, uncle- Jimmy, and grandparents: Arnet and Nancy Cole and Margaret and James Conover. Left to cherish Andy’s memory are his beloved wife Ashley Cole, son Charles Jude Cole, daughter Lola Jean Cole, parents Jennifer Cole and Fred Cole, in-laws Sherri Royal, Winston Royal, Bob Royal, and Cindy Royal, brother-in-law Cole Royal, and his brother from another mother Charles Andrew Bush. He also leaves behind a large extended family of uncles, aunts and cousins, a huge extended family of friends from Special Cheers, HCA, Memorial Hermann and many, many brothers in the Bandido Nation. Andy was a man wise beyond his years. He was fiercely loyal to his principles and his people. He was a stalwart protector of his family, his friends and anyone who couldn’t defend themselves. He had the heart of a lion and the soul of a warrior, which he came by naturally as a registered member of the Osage Indian Nation. Andy lived his life, his way, unapologetically. He had a simple code, others first. People were never the problem, they were his purpose for living, and his compassionate heart was demonstrated for all to see in his ministry to special needs children at the Special Cheers Equestrian Therapy Ranch. Kids, especially his kids, were the apple of Andy’s eye. Andy LIVED his life. He was never afraid. He would not dull his shine for anyone. |
