Cole Andrews

Cole Dalton Andrews passed away on April 23, 2026, in Joplin Missouri. He was 47 years old. 

 
Cole was born January 10, 1979, in Newton County, Missouri, to Steven and Sharon (Mahurin) Andrews, who have preceded him in death.

Cole loved to draw, hanging out with his friends, camping and fishing. He called the lake his home away from home. And he had a love for boxing.

Cole was most known for his lit up smile and warm bear hugs. You never left saying goodbye, without him saying "Give me a hug." And he hugged BIG. He always had time to talk, when you needed a shoulder or just to be around. And always an "I love you" was said. 

Cole leaves behind a son, Hayden, aunts and uncle, cousins and many many friends who most were like his brothers, a special friend who helped him throughout life, Johnny. But most he leaves behind his best friend, Lincoln, who went everywhere with him. 

A cremation service will be held 2 p.m. May 31 at First Church of God, Granby, Missouri, with graveside burial at Granby Cemetery following.
