Ryan "Cole" Goff

It is with immeasurable grief that we announce the unexpected passing of Ryan "Cole" Goff, age 23, of Gautier, MS, on Monday, October 20, 2025. A beloved son, brother, uncle, grandson, cousin, and friend, Cole was taken from us far too soon.

Born on May 16, 2002, in Pascagoula, MS, Cole graduated from Gautier High School and was currently enrolled in the welding program at Mississippi Gulf Coast Community College. He had a passion for spending time with his family and friends, indulging in his favorite sweets, and experimenting with new recipes. Cole also found joy near the water—whether fishing or simply relaxing.

Cole was known for his bright spirit, easygoing personality, and the warmth he brought to everyone around him.

He was preceded in death by his grandmother, Linda Cunningham and grandfather, Lloyd Goff.

Left to cherish his memory are his parents, Darin and Claudia Goff; his sister, Morgan (Eric) Pierce; his brother, Drew Goff; nephews Dawson and Carter Pierce; grandmothers Joan (Joe) Ferreira and Kathy Goff; and many loving family members and friends.

Cole’s heart belonged to Cheyenne Young, with whom he shared a beautiful and committed relationship. Their love was evident to all who knew them, and they were joyfully preparing to welcome their son, Grayson Cole Goff, in May 2026—a reflection of the life they were building together.

Pallbearers will be: Drew Goff, Cliff Goff, Brent Goff, Raylee Goff, Joseph Brannon, and Alex Parr.

Visitation will be Saturday, October 25, 2025, 11:00-12:00 noon, at O'Bryant-O'Keefe Funeral Home in Pascagoula.  Funeral Service will begin at 12 noon in the funeral home chapel.  Interment will follow at Crestlawn Memorial Park in Ocean Springs. 

 You may send condolences to his family or share a memory of him on the Tribute Wall.
