Philip Cole

Philip Andrew Cole, age 69, died in Littleton, CO on October 2 due to complications from Parkinson’s and Dementia.

Born March 21, 1952 in Richmond, VA, he grew up in Westfield, NJ, before moving to Colorado with his family as a teenager. He lived the remainder of his life in the Denver area, primarily in Littleton. Though he lived in Broncos country, he maintained his affinity for the New York Jets. Philip graduated from Littleton High School, Class of 1970. He worked primarily as a commercial driver until retiring in 2016. Philip was a parishioner of St. Mary Parish in Littleton, a more than three decade recovering alcoholic through Alcoholics Anonymous and a generous friend to many who needed a helping hand.

Philip and his wife, Daphne Cole, celebrated their 47th wedding anniversary in 2021. In addition to his wife, Philip is survived by many friends and family, including his children Jennifer Inslee (TJ Inslee) and Andrew Cole (Alexis Cole); grandchildren Taylor Archambeau, Abigail Archambeau, Cole Archambeau, Elise Cole, Grace Cole, Joseph Cole, Benjamin Cole, and Annie Cole; and siblings Edward Cole and Connie Kelly. Philip was preceded in death by his parents, Edward E. Cole and Margaret (Prokopovitsh) Cole.
