James "Jim" Robert Coleman

Jim was a deeply involved family man who coached his kids’ sports in baseball and hockey. He played in the Fort Langley Cribbage League for a number of years and loved the camaraderie it brought. He took pride in keeping up with yard work and was always found afterward relaxing on the porch with a cold drink while listening to music or sports radio. He also tackled the New York Times crosswords — a pastime that highlighted just how sharp and witty he was. An avid fisherman, he loved being outdoors in his Mac jacket, finding peace and simplicity in nature.

Jim will be remembered as a truly humble, selfless, smart, easy-going, generous, kind, and dedicated man with a wonderful sense of humour. He was gentle, caring, thoughtful, friendly, and always accepting and welcoming to everyone he met. He loved his family fiercely and found peace and joy in the simple things. He especially enjoyed meaningful conversations, stories, and laughs with everyone he knew and loved.

Jim lived a full life filled with love, laughter, and quiet strength. He will be deeply missed by all who knew him.
