Jason Lee Cole

Jason Lee Cole was born on January 31st, 1970 in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma to Wilber (Dub) Cole and Patricia Carol Cole.  He passed from this life on May 6th, 2024 in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma at the age of 54 years old.

At a young age, Jason moved to Tuttle, Oklahoma with his family where he attended school in the Tuttle school district.  He graduated from Tuttle High School in 1989.  Shortly after graduating, he joined the United States Army in 1990.  He became a part of the 9th Regiment Commandos where he was a SAW Gunner.  He achieved the rank of E4 Specialist.  His enlistment ended in 1993.  Jason went on and joined the United States Reserves in 1994 and served four years.  He later served two more years in the Army National Guard with the 45th Artillery Regiment.

Before the end of his military career he was employed by Walmart here in Chickasha, Oklahoma where he met the love of his life, Toni M. Turner.  Jason married Toni on June 3rd, 2000.  They lived in Chickasha for a short time and then moved to Wichita Falls, Texas.  While in Texas, Jason was employed by a Private Military Company where he was stationed at Sheppard Air Force Base as a Chief Information Officer.  On April 6th, 2008 Jason and Toni welcomed their first child, Rylan Alva Turner-Cole to the family.  Jason continued to work at Sheppard Air Force Base until 2011, and at that time he moved his family back to Chickasha, Oklahoma.  Shortly after returning to Chickasha, he was employed by the Chickasaw Nation Protective Services as a Security Supervisor.  On February 12th, 2014 Jason and Toni welcomed their second child, Skyler Faith Turner-Cole, to the family.  He continued working as a Security Supervisor until he had to retire due to a serious lung disease in 2021.

Those that knew Jason, knew that his family was his pride and joy.  He dedicated himself to their happiness and well-being.  He showed unconditional love and strength to them each and every day.  In Jason's spare time he enjoyed playing computer games and watching sci fi movies.  Jason was taken from us far too soon.  He will be missed deeply by anyone who had the pleasure of knowing him.  He was truly one of a kind.

Jason is survived by his loving wife Toni M. Turner-Cole, and two wonderful children Rylan Alva Turner-Cole and Skyler Faith Turner-Cole,  his father Dub Cole and mother Patricia Cole, two sisters Sherri Blankenship and Brenda Salgado, one brother in law Eric Salgado, niece Jessica Blankenship, plus many extended family and friends.
