Cole was a graduate of the University of Mississippi School of Law and an attorney with Williams Young. He brought dedication and a strong work ethic to his profession, but some of his greatest joy came from the tennis court.

Tennis was a lifelong passion for Cole. He played at Winston Academy and East Central Community College before returning to Winston Academy as a coach. He formed a special bond with the young players he coached and took great pride in encouraging them on and off the court. He was also actively involved with the United States Tennis Association (USTA), and the tennis community held a special place in his heart.

Cole loved his family deeply, especially his niece, Ella, and nephew, Liam. He was also a devoted pet owner who cherished his dogs, Red and Max, and his cats, Chris and Rudy. Those who knew him will remember his love of Alabama football and Coca-Cola.

Cole is survived by his parents, Darrell and Gina Duty; his sister, Courtney Duty; his brother, Nick Duty; his uncle, Greg Rogers; his aunt, Vicki Duty; his cousins, Lauren and Andy Dunn and their children, Anderson and Hallie; and his cousin, Brandon Rogers.

Wilbur Euin “Junior” Robertson

Mr. Wilbur Euin Robertson, Jr., 92, passed away on Thursday, October 1, 2026, at his home surrounded by his family in Louisville, Mississippi. Funeral services will be held at 11:00 A.M. on Monday, October 5th, at Vernon Assembly of God Church, with Matthew Swaggart, Dr. Gabriel Swaggart, and Rev. Eugene Duran officiating. Visitation will be Sunday from 5:00 to 7:00 P.M. at Porter Funeral Home. Interment will be in Vernon Assembly of God Cemetery. Porter Funeral Home is in charge of arrangements.

Wilbur Euin Robertson, Jr., known to family and friends simply as "Junior," was born on January 12, 1934, in Winston County, Mississippi, to Wilbur Euin and Vera Ethel Stokes Robertson. He attended Calhoun High School and Nanih Waiya High School and was raised in a hardworking family, spending his early years farming, logging, and working at his father's sawmill. As a young teenager, he set blocks at the mill and learned the value of hard work, a trait that would remain with him throughout his life.

Throughout his career, Junior worked in a variety of welding positions, including time spent at Ford in Detroit and at the shipyards in Mobile, before beginning what would become his life's work at Taylor Machine Works. He dedicated more than three decades to the company, retiring after 36 years of faithful service as a welder.

Junior was a devoted husband to Mary Alice. Together they shared 58 years of marriage, building a life centered on faith, family, and love. Following retirement, they spent many years traveling and enjoying time together. They visited destinations across the country, but the Biltmore Estate in North Carolina held a special place in their hearts and became one of their favorite places to return to. Family remained a central part of their lives, and they treasured opportunities to visit loved ones and welcome them to their home, where countless memories were made together.

He was a faithful member and deacon of Vernon Assembly of God Church. The church was deeply woven into his family's story, as his father helped build the original church and Junior later assisted in remodeling it. Coming from a family rooted in prayer, he lived out that legacy through his unwavering faith, service, and commitment to others.

Known for his friendly spirit, Junior never met a stranger. He could strike up a conversation with anyone and always left others feeling welcomed and appreciated. Rarely did he leave a store, restaurant, or gathering without making someone laugh. His joy in connecting with others was contagious, he had a remarkable ability to make everyone feel like a friend, and as it turns out, he was a pretty good dancer.

He was preceded in death by his parents, his wife, Mary Alice Patterson Robertson; his siblings, Willie Robertson (Pearl), Herman Robertson (Frances), Floyd Robertson (Gloria), Mavis Robertson Hanna (Kenneth), Steven Robertson, Marion Robertson Bateman (James Paul); Margie Robertson Gully (Grady), Harold Robertson, and Paul “Bob” Robertson.

He is survived by his daughter, Deborah (Donnie) Swaggart of Baton Rouge, Louisiana; his son, Michael (Rebecca) Robertson of Social Circle, Georgia; his sister, Maxine Robertson of Louisville, Mississippi; and his sisters-in-law, Christine Daniels, Jane Patterson, and Martha Patterson, six beloved grandchildren: Jennifer Swaggart Mullis (Clif), Dr. Gabriel Swaggart (Jill), Kirsten Warr (Hunter), Matthew Swaggart (Joanna), Vanessa Robertson, and Sydney Edmondson (Charles); and fourteen cherished great-grandchildren: McCartney Warr, Liam Warr, Judson Warr, Laila Phelan, Marguerite Alice Phelan, Harper Mullis, Harrison Mullis, Samantha Swaggart, Abby Swaggart, Caroline Swaggart, Mackinze Swaggart, Ryder Swaggart, Lola Swaggart, and Navy Swaggart. He was also eagerly anticipating the arrival of his first great-great grandson, Boone Warr-Hall, expected in December 2026.

He was so proud of every single one of them. His legacy lives on through the generations of family he loved so deeply.

Pallbearers will be Matthew Swaggart, Dr. Gabriel Swaggart, Hunter Warr, Charlie Edmondson, Clif Mullis, Sherlon Patterson, and Ricky Patterson. Honorary pallbearers will be Ryder Swaggart, Navy Swaggart, Harrison Mullis, Liam Warr, Judson Warr, and Barry Holloway.

The family would like to express their sincere appreciation to Yanaisa Betancourt, Gentiva Hospice, especially Veronica, Melissa, and Ashley, as well as Dr. Adam Byrd and the staff of Winston Medical Center, for the exceptional care, compassion, and support shown to Junior and his family.
