In Loving Memory of Bob Coleman

With heavy hearts, we share that Bob Coleman, age 73, a devoted husband, father, brother, uncle and friend, passed away peacefully at home on September 12, 2025.

Bob’s greatest joy in life was his family.  In October 2013, Bob married the love of his life, Valerie, and together they built a home filled with companionship, laughter, and unconditional love.  Bob is survived by his wife Valerie, four children, four step children, and two brothers who will always cherish their memories together. He is also survived by 13 grandchildren, and six great-grandchildren.  Though he may not have always said it out loud, his actions made it clear that they were the heart of his world and his proudest accomplishment.  Those who knew Bob will remember his warm smile, easy laughter, and the way he made everyone feel at home in his presence. He enjoyed traveling, watching car races, and cheering on the Arizona Diamondbacks. Bob had a competitive spirit that came out during game nights with family and friends. These simple joys reflected who he was — someone who loved life, and valued time together.  He leaves behind a legacy of kindness, humor, and unwavering love that will live on in his family and friends. His memory will continue to guide, inspire, and comfort all who had the honor of knowing him.

 

A Celebration of Bob’s life will be held on Sunday, September 28, 2025 at 2:00 pm at the Brentwood Southern clubhouse.  Family and friends are invited to gather, share stories, and honor the extraordinary man who meant so much to so many.

Though our hearts ache in his absence, we are forever grateful for the gift of his life, his love, and the memories he leaves behind. Bob will be deeply missed, but never forgotten.

    I didn’t know Bob directly but have had the pleasure of working with one of his daughters. If it is testament that his family is his legacy then I know he was amazing because she is one of the best people I know and have come to love. He had to be amazing for her to be the person she is. My deepest condolences to his loved ones.

    So sorry Valerie that you lost your buddy and condolences to the rest of the family. Bob enjoyed our cousin’s dinner nights once a month, laughing a lot and getting caught up on the latest. Bob also loved his Diamondbacks a lot and if there’s a team in heaven, you can be sure he will be watching! Rest in peace dear cousin and I will see you on the other side. Love
