Personal Life
Ward was raised Southern Baptist, but his family only attended church sparingly. He is married and has two daughters, Raven and Cameron (as mentioned in the liner notes for Cold's fourth album, A Different Kind of Pain). He was previously engaged, but his fiance broke it off in 2004 just as Ward was dealing with his sister's bout with cancer. During this time, Ward was dealing with drug and alcohol addiction and entered himself into rehabilitation. While in rehab, Ward found relief through spirituality and embraced Christianity.
Ward has been a serious Spider-Man and Marvel Comics fan since childhood and has collected Spider-Man merchandise. He wrote the song "What Happens Now" with the hopes that it would be featured in the upcoming Spider-Man film; the track is accompanied by artwork of a Spider-Man-inspired character in the album's booklet.

Famous quotes containing the words personal and/or life:
“The dialectic between change and continuity is a painful but deeply instructive one, in personal life as in the life of a people. To “see the light” too often has meant rejecting the treasures found in darkness.”
—Adrienne Rich (b. 1929)
“Allow me, whom Fortune always desires to bury, lay down my life in these final trivialities. Many have freely died in longlasting loves, among whose number may the earth cover me as well.”
—Propertius Sextus (c. 50–16 B.C.)
