Submit a PhotoJacob Peyton Coleman, born on March 19, 2002, was a cherished son, loving brother, and devoted friend. Jake passed away unexpectedly on Saturday, August 1, 2020. We know he has returned home to a loving Father in Heaven and is surrounded by family who adore him. We are grateful for the years Jake was allowed to be a part of our lives here on this earth and know that his influence will always continue in our hearts.
Jake enjoyed making other people smile. He had an incredibly bright mind, quick sense of humor, and an enormous heart. He often thought of others that suffered and how he could be of service to them. His friends often called him, “the counselor” and would seek him out in times of challenge or trial.
The void in our hearts now begins to be filled as family and friends begin to share with us their fond memories of Jake. We welcome those memories of his life and your experiences with our son and brother.
One of Jake’s favorite quotes was, “Yesterday is history. Tomorrow is a mystery. But today is a gift, that is why it is called the present.”
Jake would want all of us to live in the present, to love those around us, and spread hope where it is needed.
Funeral services will be held Tuesday, August 11, 2020.

Dearest Family, My deepest sympathy at the unexpected passing of Jacob. At this time,it is so difficult to find the words that adequately express my grief. We know of the eternal plan provided by our Heavenly Father and his son,Jesus Christ. Until we meet again. All my love, Granny
Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ are very aware of him and will care for him because of the sealing ordinance of his parents.
My prayers and condolences are with the Coleman family!
Jakes smile was contagious and brightened any room. Even his smile on this memorial picture brings a smile to my face. He is surely smiling above with Heavenly Father now, and smiling over each of you. He loved fiercely and was fiercely loved by those who knew him. We love you Colemans and and praying for you.
About a year or two ago, we sat behind your family at church. Jake was sitting next to the isle & I watched him as he held the songbook & sang all the hymns. I was so impressed that I mentioned it to my husband when we got home. What a good example! (And he has a great smile!)
Our family has your family in our hearts and in our prayers. Loving you all so much. I wish I had better words that could somehow help, and I don’t even know what to say. But know that we love you all and send our deep condolences.

Jake was an amazing classmate and always knew how to make those around him laugh and smile. He was very open-minded when it came to the Chinese culture and people, and he made quick friends with the foreign exchange students. He would always make everyone feel included and he greatly impacted our Mandarin class. My family and I send our deepest condolences and love.
John, Gabby, Logan, Drew, I wish I could be there in person right now to celebrate Jake’s life with you. Please know I’m very there in spirit, and you are very much in my heart today. Garrett
We are sending you and your family lots of love and peace!!!
I’m very sorry to hear of Jake’s passing. I enjoyed having him as a student as his friendly personality and warm smile helped to liven up our class! He will be missed – my condolences to you. Thank goodness for the Plan of Salvation!
I have Jake as a student. He was a bright light in the classroom. A comprehensive thinker and witty, charming young man. He made the world a better place.
Jake was a close friend of mine. I remember playing football at the neighborhood park with him as little kids. Breaks my heart that he is gone and no longer with us. I know he is watching over me from above and he will always have a special place in my heart. Fly high brotha ima miss you down here. All my prayers go out to his family and loved ones, stay strong. See you on the other side.
I’m so sorry to hear this news, I didn’t know Jacob for very long, only a few months, but that short time I spent working with him, he became a good friend. My deepest condolences
