Coleman was born on August 22, 1952, to Willie Freed and Geneva Coleman in Mobile, Alabama. He gave his life to Christ at an early age. After graduating from Toulminville High School in 1970, Willie proudly served 24 years in the United States Air Force, dedicating his life to service and country. While serving, he earned a Bachelor of Business Administration from Wayland Baptist University.
His military career allowed him to travel the world before eventually settling with his family in Burkburnett, Texas, in 1993, where he built lasting roots and lifelong memories.
A devoted husband, father, and grandfather, Coleman deeply loved his family. He is survived by his wife, Hazel Coleman; his children, Tiffany Chapman, Torrance Taylor, Trevell Taylor, Natalie Sebastian, Alexandria DeVaughn, Tyler Coleman, and Kimberley Wells; his grandchildren, Jordyn DeVaughn, Dorian Coleman, Lennox Coleman, and Kingston Wells; and his son-in-law, Robert Wells. He also leaves behind a host of nieces, nephews, and sisters-in-law.
He was preceded in death by his father, mother, four brothers, and one sister.
Coleman will be remembered as a loving and supportive father and grandfather, whose love showed up in everyday moments. He had a passion for music, coaching basketball, and cooking, especially for those he loved, earning a reputation as a great cook. He was a loyal Dallas Cowboys fan and cherished time spent playing spades with family, where laughter and friendly competition filled the room.
His legacy lives on through the lives he touched, the values he instilled, and the love he gave so freely. He will be deeply missed and forever remembered.
