Trace was born January 21, 1992, in Bossier City, LA, to Carol Spillers Coleman and Emmett E. Coleman, II. He enjoyed working with his hands.

Trace loved pestering his niece, Mady, as much as possible just to irritate. He loved his daughter, Emilee, with all his heart.

He is preceded in death by his maternal grandmother, Rita Saxon Spillers; paternal grandfather, Emmett E. Coleman; paternal grandmother, Eloise Alexander; and two aunts, Patsy Coleman and Hilda Hightower Spillers.

He is survived by his mother, Carol Spillers Coleman of Homer; father, Emmett E. Coleman, II of TX; grandfather, George Spillers; daughter, Emilee Coleman; son, Noah Torro; sister, Kelly Wilson and husband Jay of El Dorado, AR; niece, Madyson Lonidier; nephew, Lucas Wilson; and along with aunts, uncles, cousins and friends.
