On July 21, 1973, in Mancos, Coke married Debra Laurel Fitzgerald. They shared 40 years of marriage before her death in 2012. Coke was an Elks Club member. Hiking in the desert, traveling and spending time in the mountains watching wild game brought Coke much enjoyment. Though time spent with his family is what he enjoyed the most.
