Coleman, Jr. was a beloved son to Joseph Coleman Sr. and Geneva Williams Coleman, who are now joyfully reunited with him in eternity. Joseph's life was a tapestry woven with purpose, joy, and faith. He embraced The Most High as his Savior at an early age, allowing his faith to guide him through life's journey. A proud graduate of Talladega High School, Joseph furthered his education by obtaining an undergraduate degree in mechanical engineering from Alabama A&M University in Huntsville, Alabama and later receiving his master's degree in engineering technology from University of Florida in Gainsville, Florida, demonstrating a lifelong commitment to learning and growth in the telecommunications industry. Joseph was a man of many talents and achievements. He began his career with South Central Bell, where he worked in outside construction, demonstrating his dedication to building strong foundations, both literally and metaphorically. His drive and ambition led him to Atlanta, Georgia, where he took on the role of Procurement Manager with BellSouth, skillfully negotiating purchase contracts and forging lasting partnerships. Joseph's entrepreneurial spirit flourished as he transitioned to an engineering role with Marconi and later embraced the world of multi-level marketing with Maxxis Communications, where he emerged as a respected leader. His last professional endeavor was as a real estate agent with Remax Realty, where he continued to serve his community with knowledge and integrity. Beyond his professional accomplishments, Joseph was a vibrant soul who found joy in the embrace of classical music, often attending the symphony orchestra to lose himself in the evocative melodies of his favorite composers. Beethoven's ""Moonlight Sonata"" and Mozart's ""Eine Kleine Nachtmusik"" resonated deeply within him, echoing the harmonies of a life well-lived and loved. His passion for computer technology and writing showcased his curious mind, always eager to learn and explore new horizons. On Sunday, June 29, 2025 Joseph A. Coleman, Jr. answered the Master's call as he peacefully transitioned from labor to eternal rest reuniting with his parents, Joseph and Geneva Coleman. Joseph will be truly missed. In his time on this earth, Joseph lived life with an exuberance that inspired everyone around him. His warmth, laughter, and wisdom will forever echo in the hearts of those who knew and loved him. He leaves behind a legacy of cherished memories, especially within his family. Joseph is survived by his daughter, Jana A. Coleman of Fort Worth, Texas; longtime companion, Jonas Daniels of Mableton, Georgia; his brother, Terrence ""Terry"" Coleman of Huntsville, Alabama; and his devoted sisters, Carla Coleman (Fred) Cass of Talladega, Alabama, Felecia ""Fe-Fe"" (Linas) Coleman of McDonough, Georgia, Stella (Michael) Taylor of Talladega, Alabama, and Candace (Allen) Bush and family of Lubbock, Texas. He was a treasured uncle to many, including Alexis, Skyler, Cassidy, Kennedi, Ambi (Kentrae), Courtney, Brandon, and Ahmad (JaCarey); four special aunts, Willie Ruth ""Sis"", Patricia ""Auntie Pat"", Elaine ""Auntie Elaine"", and Curtis ""Uncle Bro"", and Brenda ""Aunt Brenda""; and a multitude of other loving relatives and friends who will hold him in their hearts forever. As we say farewell to Joseph A. Coleman Jr., let us carry forward his legacy of kindness, laughter, and an unquenchable thirst for life. May we honor him by living each day with the same vigor and passion he exemplified. Rest in peace, dear Joseph, as your symphony plays on in our hearts.
