John was born in North Vancouver, BC on May 15, 1941. He was predeceased by his father John Anderson Coleman Jr. and his mother Betty Shakespeare.
On June 16, 1978, John married Tricia and they enjoyed 45 special years together. He will be sadly missed by his brother and sister-in-law Bill and Elaine Coleman and their 5 children, Corinne, Dianne, Bill Jr., Gordon and Christopher, his brother-in-law Donald Kydd as well as many cousins, long-time friends and clients.
After graduating from St. Georges School, John went on to UBC graduating with a law degree and practicing law.
John loved living in West Vancouver. Swimming, hiking, skiing and tennis were his favourite activities, as well as the many happy times John and Tricia spent together with friends in Hawaii and Palm Desert.
John will be missed by many friends and clients who admired his dignity and willingness to serve.
The family wish to thank Dr. John Lebrun and all the staff at Lynn Valley Care Centre for their kindness and care during his residence.
We also wish to thank church members that took John for Sunday outings, pushing his wheelchair along the West Vancouver seawall.
