Danny Leon Coleman Jr.

Albany, GA –              Danny Leon Coleman Jr., 47, husband of the late Rachel Glisson Coleman, entered into eternal rest Saturday afternoon, March 12, 2022 at Phoebe Putnam Memorial Hospital. Services to celebrate his life will be held in the James Funeral Home Chapel at 3:00 P.M. Thursday afternoon, March 17, 2022 with Rev. Ed Chance officiating. Interment will follow in the Wrens Memorial Cemetery in Wrens.

Because of the family’s respect and concern for public health and safety during this COVID-19 pandemic, the family requests that social distancing and other safety precautions be followed.  The wearing of face masks is strongly encouraged during any gathering.

Born to Ruth Newsome Powell and the late Danny Leon Coleman Sr., Danny grew up in the Wrens area and was educated through the Jefferson County School System. Moving to Augusta as a young man, he worked many years in construction, but his passion was painting. Danny moved to Albany in 2018 for work opportunities. He loved cook outs and hanging out with friends and could be found watching football and NASCAR races on TV.  Danny has been described as being funny with a quirky personality and great sense of humor—he was the “coolest uncle ever”!  He was very independent: he had rather help others than take the help others offered.  Danny loved his family and had a special bond with his mother.  He will be greatly missed by his family and friends.

Those left to cherish his memories include not only his mother but his three children, Ranee Conway (Bobby), Kristen Gispert, and Angela Thompson; two siblings, James Newsome (Sharon) and Karen Brasher (Tim Fincher); grandchildren, Brynslee Conway, Axl Conway, Marcelo Sanchez, Timothy Muldrow Jr. and Kaaliyah Thompson; a host of nieces, nephews, cousins, other extended family and friends.   Pallbearers will be Jonathan Brasher, Bobby Conway, James Coleman, Michael Murphy, Timothy Muldrow Jr. and Marcelo Sanchez.

The family will receive friends at James Funeral Home from 1:30-3:00 P.M. Thursday afternoon, March 17, 2022 before the funeral service.
