Donald Edward Coleman
DONALD EDWARD COLEMAN, son of Ed and Katie (Murphy) Bay was born on April 17, 1956, in Michigan, and passed away at his home, in Marshfield, Missouri, on November 13, 2020, at the age of 64.
On November 25, 2006, Don was united in marriage with Teresa Stoll.
Don was a truck driver for Roadway Trucking and later in life worked in communications and networking. Don was of the Southern Baptist Faith. During his free time, he loved to work with computers, or be 100% involved with the news or sports. Every Wednesday and Saturday he had to have his 1 powerball ticket also.
He loved his country and was a hard core Republican. Don loved spending time with his family and his grandkids meant more to him than life itself. He loved it when the kids all came to visit, go swimming, holidays or he could fix his "special burgers" for them. You had to know Don to understand his humor. He liked jokes and could make a bad situation lighter with his humor. He enjoyed humorous mugs, shirts, wall signs, hats and personal items he received as gifts, Don used or wore them with pride. He always said exactly what he thought, and never left you wondering what he really meant. Deep down, his heart was bigger than the ocean and made of gold, it had to be that big to hold all the love inside. He was a devoted, husband, father, grandfather and friend. To know him was to love him.
Don is survived by his wife Teresa, of the home; three children: Jackie Coleman, of Marshfield, Rebecca Dunlap and her husband Clifton, of Rogersville, and Christopher Price and his wife Ashley, of Springfield; and six grandchildren: Christian Coleman, Emily McConnell, Anthony Coleman, Clifton Dunlap, Jacob Dunlap and Gabriella Enriquez. He was preceded in death by his parents.
A memorial service will be held at 6:00 P.M., Tuesday, November 17, 2020, at the Fraker Funeral Home Chapel, 1131 State Hwy A, Marshfield, Missouri. At his request, cremation has been entrusted to Fraker Funeral Home.
For those desiring, memorial contributions may be made to the family, and may be left with the funeral home.
