Danny Dean Cole(1951 - 2016)
Dr. Danny Dean Cole, DVM, 65, went to be with his Lord and Savior Saturday, Nov. 26, 2016, at his home in Weatherford. He spent his last days surrounded by friends, family and pets who loved him dearly. Funeral: 1:30 p.m. Friday in Greenwood Chapel. Interment: Greenwood Memorial Park. Visitation: 6 to 8 p.m. Thursday at Greenwood. Danny was born Jan. 29, 1951, in Fort Worth. He truly loved the people, places and spirit of Cowtown; he was a proud Class of '69 Paschal Panther football player, a member of Parker County Cowboy Church and an avid supporter of Aledo football. Danny bled maroon; he was a member of the Fightin' Texas Aggie Class of '73, a member of the Corps of Cadets and a graduate of the College of Veterinary Medicine Class of '77. His three children sang the War Hymn by age 2 and became Texas A&M graduates following in his footsteps. Danny cherished animals; he practiced veterinary medicine for 38 years and owned his own practice, Alta Mesa Animal Clinic, for 33 years. He was a compassionate veterinarian; countless pets have lived richer, fuller lives by his hands. Danny was a man of splendid behavior and never shirked a task. He was cheerful in all weathers; full of wry wit and humor with few perfectly-placed words. Danny enjoyed the simple pleasures in life, like a good cup of coffee or spotting wildlife on an evening country drive. He lived for his children; watching them grow up made him the happiest. He is now wrapped in the arms of our Lord in heaven, a more beautiful place. Survivors: Wife, Kay Cole of Weatherford; daughter, Kelly Cole; daughter and son-in-law, Paige and Scott Cropper; son and daughter-in-law, Clay and Ashley Cole; mother, Edna Cole (age 99); brother and sister-in-law, Charles Powell and Nancy Cole; pets, faithful German Shepherd Gunner, little Sleeve Pekingese, Choo-Choo, Pekingese, Lilliputian, cats, WinStar, Tiny and Gray Ghost.
