Guy W. Coleman
Absent from the body, present with the Lord! Guy W. Coleman, 76, passed away after a courageous battle with brain cancer on September 2, 2011. Guy worked as a sheet metal worker for the Chrysler Corporation, retiring in 1994. He was a faithful member of Community Church of Portage Lakes, served for many years at the Haven of Rest, and always enjoyed Saturday mornings at Taco Bell with his family. Guy had strong faith in Christ, and established our home on the Truths of God's Word. Guy was preceded in death by his parents, Carol and Agnes Coleman. He is survived by his loving wife of 43 years, Judy; children, Doris Coleman, Deborah (Lou) Comer, Donald Coleman, and Amy (Bill) Jariga; 12 grandchildren; many great-grandchildren; siblings, Louise (Calvin) Claytor, Edwin (Rae) Coleman, and Eleanor (Ron) Wilkinson; nieces, nephews, and many other loved family members. Thank you to our family, friends and church that have given us so much support and encouraged us with prayer and Scripture. We would like to express our gratitude to Dr. Terry Wagner for his compassionate care and concern to Guy and to us.
