Teddy Dean Cole

It is with much sadness that we announce the death of Ted “Bull” Cole, on March 12, 2025. 

As a lifelong biker, his path through this world could be summed up by the motto: Full Throttle, which was also one of his many tattoos. His nickname, Bull, was a perfect fit, as he was strong, stubborn and sometimes full of it. 

Bull was a man of strong emotions and opinions, which he was not shy about showing or sharing. He could love you or hate you, equally fiercely, and often within the same hour. Life around him was never boring – or easy, for that matter. 

He was a complicated man, full of contradictions. One minute he could be immensely charming, the next, a stone-cold thug. A super smart guy, who still made a lot of bad decisions. Angry, yet generous. A good friend, but also the King of Chaos. 

Bull always loved motorcycles and was a former member of the Sons of Silence Motorcycle Club. Cars were another love, although they were the bane of his existence, always breaking down. He loved women (married three times) and dogs (easier!). Most especially, he loved his daughter, Nik, although parenthood was challenging. 

For almost 40 years, Bull thought he was bullet proof, but eventually his choices caught up with him. Fifty-four is too young to die, but he coped with his issues with alcohol, and partied so hard, and that’s what killed him. 

Cirrhosis is an extremely painful and horrible way to die, so we IMPLORE those of you who drink heavily, to rethink that. It’s a brutal wat to go. 

Those left to mourn are his mother, Sharyn; sister, Lee; and his daughter, Nik. As well as other relatives and friends. 

It was a wild ride, Bull. We hope you are resting in peace. Although that would feel unnatural to you. Plan B would have you riding some version of your chopper and raising mayhem in Valhalla. 

You were loved and you will be missed.
