Ersel Cole III was born in Longview, Texas, on August 21, 1977, and passed away on March 8, 2025. He was affectionately known to some as "Big E", "Boogie", and "EC III".
Ersel married LaKisha Malone in July 2004. The Lord blessed them with two beautiful children, Sanai and Ersel IV. Their lives wrapped around the love of family and friends.
Ersel lived a life that reflected love for family, values, and respect. He will be dearly missed by all who knew and loved him.
His parents and grandparents preceded him in death. Those left to cherish precious memories include his wife and two children; a devoted sister, Natalie Allen; his parents-in-love, Michael and Sandra Malone; and an abundant host of nieces, nephews, aunts, uncles, cousins, and friends.
