Not sure what to say?

I am so sorry for your loss. Coach Coggins was someone I grew to love and respect through my years of cheerleading and being his aid. Billy was a man whose friendship I valued greatly through the years. He was a good man, and I know you will miss him so very much. My heart is with you...

Sharon, We are so sorry. You and Justin have lost a loving husband and father. The rest of us have lost a great person, mentor and friend.

I have many fond memories of our years at Johnson High School. Billy was a great coach and teacher. Blessing of peace to his family.

Rest on Coach Coggins. May God continue to bless your family

Coach Coggins was my basketball coach in 1978-1979 at Johnson when we won the state championship. He was a great coach! I am so sorry for his family and your loss. Prayers of comfort to all of you!

Condolences to Billy's Family, and friends. Thanks to him and his brothers and parents for welcoming me to stay with them for several days multiple summers during our years of youth. Us "boys" welcomed mother/aunt Mary calling "dunner" from their kitchen window and watching the "Bear Bryant" TV show before rushing to Sunday night service at Market Street Church of Christ. Thanks to Billy for his teaching and positive example to many youth and others!

Coach Coggins was my basketball coach at JO Johnson High School in 1979 and 1980. He lead our team to the State Championship in Alabama where we won. "Go Jaguars!" May he beat in peace.
