Obituary for Ronald R. Coleman
Ronald R. Coleman, 77, of Bucyrus died Tuesday, October 8, 2019 at his home after months of failing health.
He was born in Findlay on January 9, 1942 to the late William Coleman and Betty (Terwilliger) Coleman. He moved to North Robinson and graduated from NRHS in 1960. He joined the Army later that year, serving three years, and married his high school sweetheart, Karen J. Smith, on February 18, 1961. Ron worked for PPG in Crestline for over 40 years.
Ron will be remembered hard working, loyal, caring, and helpful family man who was a role model for his sons. He built his own home, kept busy with projects in his garage or the woods, and was always willing to lend a hand to friends and neighbors. He and Karen enjoyed camping with their family when the boys were growing up and later had the opportunity to enjoy a cruise and visit several states. He often served his church, St. Paul Lutheran in North Robinson, and enjoyed reminiscing over coffee at McDonalds.
Ron is survived by his wife of 58 years, Karen Coleman; three sons, Timothy (Cathe), Michael (Melanie), and Christopher Coleman; 10 grandchildren; 15 great grandchildren; and a half-brother, Russell Coleman. In addition to his parents, he was preceded in death by his stepfather, Eugene Nichols.
Ron’s services will take place on Monday, October 14 at Wise Funeral Service in Bucyrus. His family will receive friends from 3-5:55 pm and his funeral will begin at 6:00 pm with Pastor Jarrod Schaaf officiating. Military Rites by the US Army Honor Guard will conclude the evening. He will be inurned in the Crawford County Memory Gardens Columbarium on a later date.
Memorial donations can be made payable to St. Paul Lutheran Church and given at the funeral home.
