In college, he was part of the Sigma Chi fraternity and would come to be friends with country star Luke Bryan who had been part of the same frat a few years earlier when he was in the school.

Cole’s dad was working on a truck when it accidentally fell on him. The tragedy couldn’t have come at a worse time as Cole was, at that period, beginning to gain success with his music career.

His dad’s death came exactly 6 weeks after he had called him to inform him of his record deal with Warner Music Nashville. It was a happy moment for the family which was caught on tape by one of Cole’s friends.

In December 2015 about two years after his dad’s passing, Cole released the song “You Should Be Here” detailing how he wished his dad would be alive to share his musical successes with him. He co-wrote the song with Ashley Gorley.
