Jackson
Mr. Don Durant Coleman, age 61, a native and resident of Jackson, AL was born April 8, 1960 to the parentage of the late Mr. Willie Lee Coleman and the late Mrs. Thelma Lee McKenzie Coleman. Mr. Coleman departed this life March 20, 2022 at Generations of Red Bay Nursing Home, Red Bay, AL.
At an early age, and under the pastorate of the late Rev. E. L. Williams, Mr. Coleman united with Mount Olive #2 Baptist Church, Jackson, AL. On February 19, 2022, and under the gentle guidance of his brother, Willie, Mr. Coleman reaffirmed his faith in Jesus as his Lord and Savior while a patient at USA Heath University Hospital, Mobile, AL.
He was educated in the Clarke County School System, where his extracurricular activities included football. Prior to becoming disabled, "HUNDOE", as he was lovingly called, was employed with Mobile Asphalt. He enjoyed spending time with his friends and listening to music. His favorite "back-in-the-day" artists were Smokey Robinson and The Jackson 5.
He will forever be loved by three brothers, Rev. Barry J. (Grace) Coleman; Rev. Willie F. (Lee Helen) Coleman, all of Jackson, and Kendrick L. (Cynthia) James of Mobile, AL; five sisters, Elizabeth Fay Coleman (his forever devoted sister and caregiver); Arlene (Willie) Thomas, Shannie Coleman, Cynthia (Greg) Jackson, Danita McConico, and Renita (Thomas) Davis, all of Jackson, AL; two aunts, Lillie James and Flora Nell McKenzie, both of Jackson, AL; four uncles, William J.
