Mr. Kenneth Martin ("Love-Bug") Cole

KENNETH MARTIN COLE was born on January 15, 1970 in St. Louis, MO, the son of Sharon Washington and Gregory Cole Sr. His mother preceded him in death. 

Kenneth was the second born of five children and cared deeply about his sisters and brother as well as his extended family. 

Kenneth graduated from Ritenour High and later moved to Dallas, Texas. During that time, he welcomed a daughter, Moneque Cole. He started a career in driving trucks over the road because he loved the fact that he was able to see different places. 

Kenneth was a member of a few motorcycle clubs, including The St. Louis Drifters and a founding member of the Black Souls MC, St. Louis Chapter. One thing about Kenneth was that he loved riding his bike. 

Kenneth also loved to DJ for events and family gatherings. He was the life of the party making people laugh at his jokes, not because they were funny but because he'd laugh telling the joke which made you laugh. His smile would light up a room. He will be extremely missed! 

Kenneth met the love of his life, Dionmonique Washington. The two lovebirds were joined in Holy Matrimony on October 2, 2015. In this union he gained three sons, Nathan, Devin and Tyler. 

Kenneth slipped peacefully into eternal rest on Saturday, August 1st. 

This was a unique day because he transitioned on his deceased mother's birthday six years later. Kenneth is survived by his wife: Dionmonique Cole; children: Moneque O'Neal (Devin), Nathan Washington, Devin Cade, and Tyler Cade; father: Gregory Cole Sr. (Erma); three sisters: Lisa Morrow (Chris), Denise Lyon, Sonja Belle (Maurice); one brother: Gregory Cole Jr. (Rachel); two granddaughters: Devyn O'Neal and Dasia O'Neal; his grandmother: Juanita Stevenson; and a host of aunts, uncles, cousins, nieces, nephews, in-laws and many close friends.
