Dexter James Coke

Dexter James Coke, age 7, entered eternal rest on Sunday, November 9, 2025, in Pineville. The Visitation for Dexter will be held on Saturday, November 15, 2025, at Gallagher Funeral Home in Ball, from 10:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. Services will begin at 12:00 p.m. with Bro. Wayne Romig officiating. Interment will follow in Belah Cemetery in Trout, LA, under the direction of Gallagher Funeral Home. He was preceded in death by his father, Dexter Savage. Those left to cherish his memory include his mother, Charlie Coke; grandmothers, Patricia Trapp, April Anglin, and Frances Glenn; great grandmother, Brenda Savage; aunts, Kaitlynn George, Angela Trapp, Lexus Prudhomme, and Kimberly Guyton; and many friends. Dexter was a bright, joyful boy whose smile could light up any room. He adored his Hot Wheels, toy trains, and all things with wheels or engines- from heavy equipment to the smallest toy truck. Dexter loved taking trips to Walmart and Ollie's, where every aisle was an adventure waiting to happen. He never met a stranger and had a special way of making everyone feel like a friend. He saw the world through innocent eyes and made the most of it. Though his time with us was far too short, Dexter's big heart and boundless energy will live on in the memories of all who were lucky enough to know him.
