Chris Allan Cole, 58, of Olathe, passed away unexpectedly on July 1, 2020. He was born on October 21, 1961 to Allan and Connie Cole in Colby, Kansas. Chris was many things, but most people remember him by his desire to help others, his hard-working mentality, and his playful, compassionate heart. 
 
Growing up in Goodland, KS, Chris could be seen working with his father at the farm, driving the school bus, or fixing up old cars (or really anything else he could get his hands on). By night, he was an ornery, girl-chasing rebel dragging Main Street. It was in Goodland where he met the first love of his life – a blue 1967 Camaro SS. Thus began a passion for cars that would last until the day he passed away. Chris spent much of his time planning, refurbishing, and re-refurbishing his Camaro; he could never quite get it how he wanted: perfect. He passed on his passion to his son, Haedyn, who helped him rebuild their 1979 Trans Am in 2019. 
 
Having worked at a motorcycle repair shop shortly after graduating high school, Chris also developed a passion for motorcycles. He enjoyed long rides on his Harley with his wife, Kathy Cole, and had often gone on cross-country road trips with his best friend, Mike Horniman, who preceded him in death. 
 
Chris attended Kansas State University and graduated in 1988 with a Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering. Prior to graduating, Chris married Taunya Schamber Cole in 1984, and had two children, Alexa Cole (daughter) and Haedyn Cole (son). He tried his best to instill his love for KSU Football on his children by attending countless football games with them in Manhattan; however, much to his dismay, they ultimately both attended the University of Kansas. Over the following 32 years, Chris started and ran multiple successful businesses, and had recently partnered with his good friend, Ty Herron, in purchasing a FedEx delivery company. 
 
Chris’s desire to help others was always evident, from providing caring support for his mother and three sisters after the death of his father in 2000; to helping someone he had just met get back on their feet. Chris was always there when others needed him, and he never expected anything in return. He was a handyman, mechanic, plumber, tile guy, landscaper, roofer, chef, entrepreneur, and loving father, among many others. 
 
Before remarrying Kathy Worland Cole in 2018; Chris single-handedly renovated the entirety of their Olathe, KS home in less than 6 months. Kathy and Chris loved spending time together on the back porch of their home, drinking Miller Lite at Chris's shop for “Guy Day Friday” with their friends Ty and Mike, and visiting their favorite neighborhood restaurants and bars, where everyone seemed to know Chris like family. 
 
Chris and Kathy also enjoyed weekly visits and afternoons spent with Alexa, Haedyn, Maddy, and Kathy’s five children and two grandchildren, Ross (son), Rudy (son), Kristin (daughter), Shannon (daughter), Alex (son), Lorenzo (grandson), and Viviana (granddaughter). Upon his children's departure for college, Chris insisted they come home for weekly Sunday night dinners, which quickly turned into a regular tradition. Through these gatherings, Chris discovered his hidden talent for smoking ribs, causing his children to request them repeatedly. Chris was eager and excited to become a Grandpa, frequently urging both of his children to hurry up and “get to work” on having babies. In the meantime, he was overly joyed when he got to babysit his grand-dog, Chesney. 
 
There was never a dull moment with Chris, his playful nature could brighten spirits and bring relief to the most stressful situations. Our time with Chris was cut too short, but his infectious laugh and benevolent personality will never be forgotten. 
 
Chris is survived by his loving wife, Kathy Cole; daughter, Alexa Cole (Austin, Texas); son and daughter-in-law, Haedyn and Madisyn Cole (Prairie Village, Kansas); mother, Connie Cole (Goodland, Kansas); and sisters, Cathy and Mark Carman (McCook, Nebraska), Kay Lea and Randy Carri (Goodland, Kansas), and Kim Cole and Dan Oborny, (Goodland, Kansas). 
 
He was preceded in death by his father, Gerald Allan Cole; and grandparents, Ron and Evelyn Rose and Gerald Cole and Martha Cole Stamm.

Memorial services will be held on Monday, July 13, 2020 at 10:00 AM MT at Koons-Russell Funeral Home in Goodland with Pastor Brent Flanders officiating.

In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions are designated to the Chris Cole Memorial Fund and may be left at the services or mailed to Koons-Russell Funeral Home, 211 N. Main Ave., Goodland, KS 67735.

Donald "Don" Laverne Dreiling passed away at The Heritage of Overland Park, KS on June 23, 2020, at the age of 93. He was born to Louise Legge Dreiling and Acqueline “Ack” Dreiling on March 14, 1927, in Park, KS. He spent his childhood in both western Kansas and Kansas City.

After graduating from St. Joseph Military Academy, Don enlisted in the U.S. Navy, where he served as a radar operator in Jacksonville, FL; Olathe, KS; and Memphis, TN, during which time, he obtained his Airman’s Certification (pilot’s license). After his honorable discharge, he attended Fort Hays State College.

Don married Bernice A. Haas on May 22, 1948. Don and Bernice started a family with the birth of their sons John and Michael. He also began his 46-year career in the automotive industry. Starting as a parts manager for O’Loughlin Motor Sales, where he quickly moved into car sales, then selling for Jensen-Lungren Chevrolet, Herb Lungren Chevrolet, and, ultimately, James Motor Company. He retired in 1989.

During retirement, Don took up golf. Don was a fixture at the Fort Hays Municipal Golf Course back when it only had nine holes, and he donated countless hours of sweat equity to ensure the back nine went from an idea to reality.

Don’s infectious personality and love of golf brought his two sons and several of his grandchildren into the sport, which they still play today. He often hosted his grandchildren at the course, where echoes of him shouting, “Keep your head down!” still reflect off the grounds of the Fort.&nbsp;

When not on the course, Don loved to swim laps at The Center (CHI), or he could be found having a cup of coffee and a doughnut, while visiting with friends, old and new.

Don is survived by his son Michael J. Dreiling and daughter-in-law Patty Rohr Dreiling of Leawood, KS, his five grandchildren and ten great grandchildren, his half-brother Mark Dreiling of San Diego, CA, and his daughter-in-law Patricia Dreiling of Austin, TX.&nbsp;

Don was preceded in death and is now reunited with his wife Bernice Dreiling, his son John Dreiling, his brother Ralph Dreiling, his sister Alice Anderson, his mother, Louise Legge Dreiling, his father Acqueline “Ack” Dreiling, along with his favorite canines, Perk, Maggie, and Molly.&nbsp;

Services will take place the morning of Thursday, July 9, 2020, at St. Joseph Catholic Church in Hays, KS. Visitation at Church begins at 9 a.m., followed by a rosary to be held for Don at 9:30 a.m., with Mass beginning at 10 a.m. Entombment to follow at St. Joseph Cemetery. The military honors will be provided by the Hays VFW Post 9076. Lunch and refreshments will be served at the VFW following his entombment.&nbsp;

The family suggests memorials to St Joseph Catholic Church, 215 W. 13th St., Hays, KS.
