Arthur Edward Coker, Jr.

Dear Coker Family, all of you are in my prayers today. Doc was well thought of by so many of us. I remember back when you guys hit Southport, FL. I knew what a great family you all were. Doc left us too soon. He was a great Father and a great man on earth. Just remember we have to be ready to meet him one day. You sons and daughter take care of Mom until then. Always remember Diana Cowan McQuagge loves everyone of your family. I don’t get out due to what COVID-19 did to me in 2020. Just know I care!

Dear Linda and all the Family, This was a shocker and very hurting to me. He will be missed by all. I had an emergency that took me to Gulf Coast Hospital with the person I am caregiver of. I could feel Doc's spirit everywhere I had to travel from ER and all over that place. I needed him so bad to transport me many times. I talked to him. He heard me. So sorry, I did not make the service. But during all of this many thoughts and prayers have gone out and up for the entire family. I still remember you first coming to Southport and the years from that time. I will never forget anyone of you great people. Doc and Linda has raised an outstanding family. It shines on this earth. You can be very proud of all of this. He will live on in all our heart that had the honor of knowing Doc.
God Be With Each of U As U Carry on His Journey.
A friend In Christ. Diana Cowan McQuagge
I love each and everyone of you. You know that.

What a lovely service. I´m so glad I could be there hearing all the great stories. What a legend among legend! I wish peace for all of you, in due time.

Linda,

We are so very sorry for the loss of your precious husband. It was evident from all the "Doc´s latest culinary endeavor stories", to the pictures in your office, and the excitement in your voice before Disney trips- just how much you truly loved him and spending time with him! Though he is now gone from this earthly world, we rejoice in knowing he is healthy and whole in Heaven with our Great Savior. We are certain he will be watching over you and the family in the days and weeks ahead. Sending you the longest, warmest hug. We love you!!!!

Love,

Char, Steven, and Hannah Elliott

Linda and family,
I was so sorry to hear of your loss. You are in my thoughts and prayers. May God Bless you all!

Jimmy, I am so sorry for the loss of your Farther. I’ve never met him but could tell by your pictures over the years how much he loved his wife and family and how incredibly proud of his children and grandchildren he was. If we can do anything please let us know for as a work family, “We never walk alone”! Praying for you and your family.

In loving memory of a wonderful person. We will love you and miss you always.

May God be with the family during this time of great sorrow. Sympathy and condolences to the family.

Linda, and family, We, Kathy and Bob Schultz, are so sorry of the loss of "Doc." It is always hard as what to say at a time like this. He is in a better place and please know, continued prayers are coming your way. Bob and Kathy

Erick, We are thinking of you and your family. May your hearts soon be filled with wonderful memories of joyful times together as you celebrate a life well lived.

Wherever a beautiful soul has been, there is a trail of beautiful memories. You and your family are in our thoughts and prayers.

I will definitely miss you, my friend. Lot of good times we all had a the work release center. Now that I am retired, I always think about you, Lt Webb, Fowler, JJ, & many of the others. To Jimmy and the family, we will keep you guys in our prayers and thoughts. Let God guide you and lean on his loving arms for your comfort. There aren't many good men in this world anymore, and now, there's ones less, with Art's passing.
