Michael Allen Coleman, 53, died at his home in Port Orchard, Washington on February 28, 2005. He was born November 30, 1951 in San Diego, California to Vernon & Bernice (Hohl) Sterling. Michael was truly a gift from God. A man who showed by word and example what a husband, father, grandfather and friend should be and a shining spirit of love, fun and service. He was a man always willing to help with anything. As a husband, he brought to life the words "Love, Honor & Cherish." As a father, he had a firm hand but more importantly, a soft heart. As a grandfather, he did nothing but love and enjoy. As a friend, there was constant laughter. We thank the Lord every day for the chance to know him and be a part of his life, no matter how short it may have been. He will be missed and his memory cherished and celebrated forever. Thanks be to the Lord for our Husband, Father, Grandfather and Friend and they joy that has come to our life from him, the joy he will always bring to our hearts. Surviving are his wife Sharon Coleman, daughter Sabrina Pajimula, son Vernon Coleman and grandkids (his three brats) Ashley, Trent'n and Isabella. Memorial Service will be Saturday, March 12, 2005 at 1:00pm at Rill Chapel's Life Tribute Center in Port Orchard.
