It is with great sadness
that we announce the
passing of LeRoy Coleman.
He was a bright spark
in this world and will be
deeply missed. He was 88
years old.
LeRoy was born January 13, 1934 to Volney and
Vera Coleman in Merna, Nebraska. His family made
their way to Lander, Wyoming where LeRoy spent
his childhood alongside his sister, Norma. It was here
that he developed his love for the outdoors, especially
fishing.
LeRoy graduated from the University of Wyoming in
1955. He met Beverly Coles his junior year of college
and they were married a week after they graduated on
June 18, 1955.
Bev and LeRoy moved to Grand Junction in 1959
where he and his father, Volney, founded Western
Implement, Company. Everyone who knew LeRoy felt
his big heart and giving nature.
Western Implement was a big part of his life and he
put his heart and soul into the business. He cared deeply
about his customers as well as his employees.
LeRoy’s greatest joy was his family. He loved watching
not only his sons play sports, but his grandkids as well,
and travelled with Bev at his side to do just that. He
also cherished their times together camping and fishing.
After retirement, he and Bev loved to golf and travel.
They especially enjoyed their winter home in Mesquite,
Nevada. After 59 wonderful years together, Bev passed
away in March, 2015.
LeRoy was a kind and generous soul and despite his
struggles with his eyesight, he always kept a positive
attitude.
He found solace in his garden and loved his roses.
LeRoy found great joy in sharing his produce with
family and friends.
LeRoy leaves behind his three sons, Jim (Debbie)
Coleman, Bob (Kim) Coleman, Gene (Karla) Coleman;
seven grandchildren; nine great-grandchildren, and
his sister, Norma Robison.
In addition to his wife, he was preceded in death by
his mother and father.
A graveside service will be held at 11:00 AM,
Wednesday, August 31, 2022 at Memorial Gardens
Cemetery.
A gathering of family and friends will be held
at LeRoy’s home, 4040 Ptarmigan Piazza, directly
following the service.
Memorial contributions may be made to HopeWest
Hospice, 3090 B North 12th Street, Grand Junction,
Colorado, 81506.
