He is survived by his wife, Beth; his son, Shawn Lee Coleman and daughter-in-law, Leah Tackett Coleman of Hooks, Texas; grandchildren and the pride of his life, Connor Paul, Caydon Lee, and Cailey Rae Coleman of Hooks, Texas; brother, Ronnie and wife, Sheila of Redwater, Texas; and a host of additional family.
His wish was to have a celebration of life that will be held in December with family and friends.
