Life story

Thank you for visiting Cole's final resting place. In consideration of the local wildlife, we kindly request that you refrain from placing fresh flowers. Additionally, due to the intensity of the Texas sun, we ask that you avoid using artificial flowers, as they tend to fade quickly. Please do not leave any mementos, as raccoons frequent the area and often interact with the grave. We regularly maintain the gravesite and appreciate your help in keeping it presentable. If you have any further questions please contact me. (361) 258-1968

Cole Walton, 30, was called to heaven on December 30th 2020, protecting his daughter in a car accident.

Cole was born November 19th 1990, in Victoria, TX where he stayed close by to build his life. He married the love of his life, Tracie (Smolik) Walton, on November 11th 2017, and together they welcomed their daughter, Everleigh Rose, on December 10th, 2019.

Cole spent his time as a loving husband and a wonderful "dadda" to Everleigh. He was an involved dad, which the countless pictures and videos can attest to. Everleigh and Tracie were the center of his world, and he would often be described as the most content man in the world, having everything he needed. Family was very important to Cole. He loved to be surrounded by his family at all times.

When Cole wasn't being a dedicated father and husband, his time was spent hog hunting: a passion he enjoyed showing and sharing with his wife and daughter. Cole loved to spend time with his family and would often be found at his nephews' football games. Cole loved the outdoors, where he spent most of his time fishing, hunting, and dirt track racing. When he wasn't outdoors, Cole could be found sitting around with his poker family playing the game he loved most. Working at the Texas State Highway Department, Cole dedicated his time to making a living for his family. Cole was a hard worker, having worked since the age of 18.

Cole is survived by his wife, Tracie Walton; daughter, Everleigh Walton; parents, David Walton and Kristy Walton; 2 sisters, Doris Walton and Natasha Tompkins; brother in law, Jeff Tompkins; Stepmom, Debra Walton; 3 nephews, Brendan, Bladen, and Brantin Tompkins; grandparents, Mr. and Mrs. Jim Worley and Mr. and Mrs. Agustin Reza; and in laws, Mr. and Mrs. Melvin Smolik, Tucker Smolik, and Mr. and Mrs. Trevor Smolik.
