Justin L. Coleman

My name is SSgt Tim Redmond,

I met Justin in Minot,ND. He was one of my best friends and one of the nicest people I have ever met. My heart goes out to you and your family. You will be missed very much. It was truly a blessing to have known you and an even greater blessing to be your friend. I love you.

The Coleman Family...I want to first start off by offering my deepest condolences to your family. I met Justin, Chante, and Heavyn through my wife while station at Minot AFB. Justin was one of the few people i met that i would truly call a friend. When he and his family moved to SC, we lost touch for a while. Just recently within the last year we got back in contact with each other. We had plans to meet up when I got back from Iraq. When i got the news of Justins passing it was like a bad...

To Uncle Dex, Cousin Dex & Darius, Chante & Heavyn, and Coleman Family,
Justin was a shining star, young, bright, funny and smart, with so much life ahead of him. I loved him like a brother as well. He always had a positive outlook on life and the things that he wanted to accomplish. We all played basketball together so I enjoyed watching him grow to the point to where he could physically handle Dex, Darius and myself on the court. Am going to miss him dearly, and I will never forget...

To Dex and Darrius,
I know that over all the years that we've known each other we may have not ran with each other or hung out a great deal... but this news reminded me of our close OUR families are. This is the HARDEST blow I have ever felt in a non related tragedy. I LOVE YALL SO MUCH!!! It was as if it were Lil Larry or Omar. I have not stopped weeping since I've began this acknowledgement. I'm praying for yall and hope you know that as a big brother I'll always be here for yall...

Coleman Family,
I have known Justin for a long time, we went to tech school together and were stationed together in minot for my first four years. He was a wonderful man and we always had funny things to say to each other. We got pretty close over those years and had the wonderful pleasure to meet his wife Chante and his new baby Heavyn. I recently got back in touch with him and we talked for a while. He was a great person to have as a friend and I am going to continue to pray for your...

Chante, Heavyn and the Coleman family,

Justin and Chante became our friends when they became our neighbors on base. I remember justin being cautious about getting to know us because he said he was afraid I was the "too loud type" :) Needless to say they became dear friens to us. Words can't express how truly sorry we are for your loss. Chante, we love you and will continue to pray each day for your guidance and strength. Just know that we are here for you every step of the way. ...

Chante & Coleman Family,

My name is Sylvester Steele (formerly TSgt Steele, now retired) and you may remember me from when my wife Loretta saw Justin at the Minot Airport when he first arrived in Minot, North Dakota. My wife brought Justin to our home and we entertained him until we found his sponsor and introduced him to the unit. It was a refreshing pleasure at the time that we met to see a young man of his religious demeanor and maturity. You all have our deepest sympathies...

JUSTIN WAS A GREAT PERSON, FRIEND, AND FAMILY MAN. I'VE KNOWN HIM SINCE 2003. I REMEMBER HE TRIED TO BE MEAN TO ALL THE NEW TROOPS, BUT THAT DOES NOT WORK WHEN YOUR AS NICE AS HE WAS. I send my prayers to Chante Heavyn his entire family. HEAVEN HAS A TRUE ANGEL NOW!
