Calvin Wayne Coleman

7/5/1960 – 5/15/2022

 

Calvin Wayne Coleman, 61, of Longville, passed away Sunday, May 15, 2022 at his home.  Visitation will be Tuesday, May 17, from 5-8pm at Memorial Baptist Church.  Funeral services will be Wednesday, May 18, at 11am, with a time of visitation from 9am until time of service, at Memorial Baptist Church.  Interment will be at Memorial Cemetery.  Revs. Brad Johnson and Walter Edwards will officiate.

 

Calvin was a simple man who lived a simple life.  He followed the Lord and kept Him first.  He cherished his family and spent all the time he could with his grandkids.  During the summer, you could find him on the tractor in the hayfields, with grandchildren sitting on his knees.  In the fall, he was chasing hogs through the woods with his dogs that he raised and trained.  “You can’t find a better bloodline for hog dogs” is what he would tell you.  During the winter, he would spend the evening tucked away in his deer blind because he needed some sausage meat.  He enjoyed life; he really enjoyed Sunday lunches when the family would gather at Maw-Maw and Paw-Paw’s.  Time with family is what he truly loved.

 

Calvin is survived by his wife of 41 years, Tammy Coleman; four children, Bradley Coleman & Laura, Kyle Coleman & Kassie, Britny Johnson & Brad, and Kaele LeDoux & Seth; ten grandchildren, Britton Coleman, Lainey Coleman, Brooklyn Johnson, Baylee Johnson, Blayklee Johnson, Sutton LeDoux, Londyn LeDoux, Rhett Coleman, Rylee Coleman, and Ryder Coleman; mother Jennie Coleman; three siblings, Terry Coleman & Carla, Angela Dowden, and Beatrice Coleman; and a host of family and friends.

 

He is preceded in death by his grandfather Britton Coleman, grandmother Myrtis Coleman; and father Walter Coleman.
