Not sure what to say?

Jack was my landlord for over 35 years, but most important, he was a friend, a kind and generous man who will be greatly missed. I will always remember the long talks we had and hearing his colorful, amusing stories. We always tried to determine how we were related as my grandmother was a Coggins from Bear Creek. When I recently showed my uncle a picture of Jack and asked if he looked familiar he said, "He looks just like Granddaddy Coggins." So perhaps that is the answer we sought.

What an amazing life your father had from reading his obituary. I only knew Jyles Coggins while living at Beckanna Apartments many years ago before moving to Florida. My thoughts and prayers are with you during this great time of sadness and pray that you will always have fond memories that will keep Jyles alive in your hearts forever.

Sing to her + sing with her, Grandaddy.

You were in my life for so long Mr. Coggins. "Daddy". I am sorry I wasn't able to attend your funeral, but I heard you didn't like attending funerals, so I'm sure you understand. You will be greatly missed, and I know you are up there telling God how to run things. (smile). Love and Peace

To my brother-in-law who was the brother to me that I never had. You are a kind man and will miss you

Mr. Jyles Coggins was a huge influence in my life and I will be forever thankful to have known him. Rest in peace Jack.

Dear Girls, how sad I was to read of the death of your father. He was so kind to us when we were teens. Remember the wonderful swim parties he provided on Saturday afternoons. And he was kind to my parents in their last years. I would love to see you girls and be present to honor your father in his death; however, I will not be able to attend the funeral. Please know that I shall pray for all of you, and rejoice that your father is with HIS heavenly father and his beloved wife. Nothing...

We are so sorry to hear about the passing of Mr. Coggins. He was truly a very innovative and productive man. His service to our society is well known. He was especially proud about his military experience during WWll and I enjoyed hearing him briefly talk about that time in his life, and I wished I could have heard more. He will be missed. Our thoughts and prayers are with his loved ones and friends.
