Keyshia Cole’s Father Dies Just Four Months After Her Mother’s Death
Keyshia Cole’s adoptive father, Leon Cole, has reportedly passed away.
The 40-year-old singer confirmed the sad news after a fan account tweeted their condolences.
"I’m so sorry to hear about the loss of your father!! I’m praying for you and your family during this difficult time!!” the account wrote, with Keyshia replying, "Thank you."
Additionally, Keyshia’s adoptive mother, Yvonne Cole, announced Saturday (November 13) on her Facebook that Leon died due to complications from COVID-19.
"With a heart of sadness and sincere condolences, we solicit your prayers for Dr. Yvonne Cole and the Cole family in the passing of Mr. Leon Cole, Jr.," the family statement reads in-part. "You are welcome to leave your prayers and any heart warming messages as they deal with the passion of Mr. Leon Cole Jr., due to COVID-19 complications. We appreciate the support for the family around the world."
The revelation comes just under four months after Keyshia Cole’s biological mother, Frankie Lons, died. At the time, Keyshia shared the news on her social media.
"This is so hard man. Can’t really even find the words. SMH. I honestly don’t even know how to feel. You can never prepare for something like this... Ever!!! but you will be missed," she wrote alongside family photos. "It’s crazy because... For weeks I’ve been quoting you, from the goose that laid the golden egg, to calling Neffe shoes slow burners, cause they were bought scuffed up already 😩 your humor was unmatched!!! Naturally so funny, that’s what I loved about your personality.... we all did."
Our thoughts are with Keyshia Cole and her family during this difficult time.
