John Coleman Obituary
John P. Coleman, 70, of Society Hill, South Carolina, died peacefully at the Tru Care Hospice in Louisville, Colorado on Aug. 24.
He was born in Ann Arbor, Michigan. He is survived by his wife, Lois (St. Cloud, Minnesota), parents, Bill and Mary of Bradenton, Florida, sisters, Sally (Ken) Driver, Sidney, Ohio, Nancy (Robert) Francisco, Bradenton, Florida, Peggy (Doug) Taylor, Nederland, Colorado, and Shirley, Wilmington, Delaware.
He served in the U.S. Army from 1969 to 1971. He graduated from the University of Maryland with a bachelor of arts degree in marketing and sales. He held sales positions in numerous companies including Coke, Electrolux, Glenwood Englewood Water, Sara Lee and Re/Max.
He loved life, his family, friends, cats, sunsets and a good meal. He had an entrepreneurial spirit and embraced change. He loved helping people and displayed that by often going beyond the role of landlord by caring for his renters, paying their bills, etc. as well as donating his body to science. He was a past member of the Society Hill Lions Club and a member of the Nesbitt/Nisbet Society of North America.
A special thank you to Judi and Allen Byrd, Carolina Bank and Funderburk Insurance employees, as well as other members of Society Hill for their generosity in this time of sorrow.
A memorial service is not yet planned. Details will be available in the near future. Any donations should be made to a local animal shelter of your choice.
