Richard Benjamin Coleman Sr
d. May 8, 2014
1953 ~ 2014
Rick Coleman, 60, was made whole again when he returned to his Heavenly Father and Higher Power on May 6th in the early afternoon. He died serenely in his home after many years of being cared for by his loving wife.
Rick was born in Santa Rosa, California to Lorraine (Fletcher) and David Coleman. He was the fifth oldest child of eleven siblings. He married his soul mate, Kristin Lee (Marchant), in Reno, Nevada on September 25th, 1976. Together they had three children and three grandchildren to whom they are a magnificent example of strength and resilience. Rick treasured his family, extended family, and the family he made in his friendships.
He was a brilliant manufacturing engineer, and cared deeply for his work as well as the relationships he forged at Klune Industries in Spanish Fork, Utah. He was passionate about all things Harley Davidson and was at his freest while on the open road. He savored football and the San Francisco 49ers. Above all, he was an incredibly spiritual man and loved being in service to others. He was a member of the LDS church and was an inspiration to countless many in Narcotics Anonymous.
Rick was ushered Home by those who preceded him in death including his mother, Lorraine Kursa, his father, David Coleman, his brothers, William and Ronnie Kursa, his sister, Lori Kursa, and many friends whom he loved like family.
He is survived by his wife, Kristy, his children Amy (Rusty), Ricky (Beth), and James (Amber), his grandchildren Jaxon, Crew, and Lucy, as well as so many to whom he was a surrogate 'Pops' and brother.
Funeral Service will be held at Wheeler Mortuary, 211 E 200 S in Springville, on Saturday, May 10th at 11 am. A viewing will be held the evening prior from 6-8 pm and again from 10-11 am on Saturday. Immediately following the services, a motorcycle (and vehicles otherwise) run in his honor will be departing from Wheeler Mortuary, heading up Hobble Creek Canyon to Cherry Campground, and will end at a location to be announced.
