Mark Edward Cole, 70, went to be with the Lord on April 14, 2021, after a long, hard fought battle with Parkinson’s.

Mark is survived by his loving wife, Rhonda, his children Jason Cole and Terra Cole and granddaughter Tiana; his stepchildren, Ronnie Davis and Randi Davis and granddaughter Marley; brothers Charles Cole and Richard Cole along with his wife, Lisa; and mother-in-law Shirley Biellier.

Mark was born on October 24, 1950 and was the son of Bill and Juanita Cole. He grew up on a farm in North Dakota, moved to Alpine in 1989 and graduated from SRSU with a Bachelor of Science. He was the choir director for the First Baptist Church for many years; he was an officer and a member of the Kiwanis Club and set off the wonderful fireworks for July 4th celebration for the last 14 years and helped Rhonda with many other volunteer projects. He also participated in several summer theatre productions. He was the manager of the Alpine Country Club until his retirement in 2009.

Mark was a quiet, hardworking man who loved to fish, golf, and play games. He was a great mechanic and could fix anything and probably worked on every golf cart in Alpine.

Mark’s ashes will be spread at his favorite lake in North Dakota in July.

There will be a 9-hole scramble Sunday, May 30th at the Alpine Country Club starting at 3PM in honor of Mark. Please call the Pro Shop to sign up. At 5:00 PM on the 30th there will be a come and go Celebration of Life for Mark.
