Obituary for Cole J. Ringen
Cole J. Ringen, age 19, of Miles Iowa, passed away at Clinton Mercy Hospital on Tuesday, October 15, 2019. Cremation Rites have been accorded. A private family service will be held in Cole’s honor.

Cole was born May 30, 2000 in Clinton IA, the son of William Ringen and Erica McGuire. He attended Easton Valley schools, and later, graduated from high school in Portage, IN with the class of 2018.

Cole will be remembered for his artistic mind. He spent much of his free time working on his artwork. A lover of guitar and poetry, it should come as no surprise that he often wrote his own song lyrics. Family and friends meant a great deal to Cole, as well. Those family members and friends will be forever impacted by their time with him.

Cole will be dearly missed by his parents William Ringen (Andraya Ruchotzke), of Miles, IA and Erica McGuire (Jim Medlicott) of Nashville, TN; grandparents Robert (Michele) Ringen of Miles, IA; great grandmother Marian Hoyer of Sabula, IA; aunt Rebecca Stolk of Dubuque IA; cousins Kaitlyn, Marcus and Kenedy Stolk, all of Dubuque, IA; step uncle Anthony Swanson of Miles, IA; and many extended family members.

Cole is preceded in death by his grandparents, Terrance and Mary Beth McGuire, and Rhonda Ringen, and his great grandparents, Shelton and Marbeth Jenkins, Wilbur and Erma Ringen, and John Hoyer.
