Coleman Levi Jennings was born February 27, 1951. Coleman left this earth on April 7, 2023 after a brief illness. Left to mourn "Honkey," as he was always known to family and friends,
He is preceded in death by a son, Joseph; Grandson, Davonté; parents; brothers Robert Jennings, John Jennings; sister, Linda Smoot, and sister-in-law, Denise Lanaux.
Coleman was born and raised in Severn, Maryland, to parents Coleman G. Jennings, and Geneva (Belt) Jennings. He graduated from Glen Burnie High School, where he was a star athlete in football and wrestling. His work career began at what was then Liskey Corp. in Elkridge, then onto United Paper Inc., originally nicknamed "The Plastic Plant," in Odenton. Both companies moved out of state, opening the door, after 34 years, to pursue the career he had always wanted as a dump truck driver, following in his father's footsteps. He drove for Ferguson Trucking Co. in Odenton, and ended his career at Reliable Trucking in Gambrills.
Honkey was always active in sports, as a participant and in support of his children and grandchildren. He played flag football with the Dorsey-Harmans team and semi-pro football with the Arbutus Golden Eagles. He was always a defensive tackle, and prominent factor in the championships won by both teams. Coleman was a bowling aficionado, belonging to four leagues at the time of the onset of his illness. He was especially proud of his 300 game. Coleman was a racing fan, visiting local dirt tracks with his father as a child, and several Nascar races each year, even as an adult. He watched every race on T.V., including the Street Outlaw series.
Honkey was passionate about his family, his cars & truck, his motorcycles, his yard and lawn, and having a lively debate on any topic with his sons and friends.
