About Jacob Peyton Coleman

Jacob 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.

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 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 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.

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!)

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.
