63 year old Bryon D Cole passed away unexpectedly in his current home at Cardwell, Montana, where he lived for the past 14 years.

Bryon graduated from Smethport Area High School and afterwards pursued his dreams, living in various parts of the country, south and west of Pennsylvania.  

Bryon was predeceased by his parents, George D Cole, Sr. and Mary T Cole of Cyclone PA.  He is survived and dearly loved by his brothers and sisters: George Jr (Dee) Cole, Leon Cole, Carole Wolford, Janet Giordano, Jack (Penny) Cole, Sharon (Bill) Kohler, Joe (Linda) Cole, Kathy (Mike) Cobb, Suzanne (Chris) Minich, and many, nieces and nephews. 

A lover of the outdoors, Bryon was happiest living in wide open spaces and was an avid fisherman.  His life’s work was construction but he also built smaller decorative items, beautifully made, that family members proudly displayed in their homes.  He was a very talented craftsman and artistic in his creations. 

Bryon enjoyed helping other people around him and was a frequent visitor to neighbors and elderly in need of assistance of one kind or another.

Although he lived a great distance from the home where he grew up, his home in Cardwell was full of reminders of the family he loved and cherished back “home”.
