Mr. Coleman was the son of the late Walter J. Coleman and Cora Belle Carroll Coleman. The husband of Alva Williams Coleman. Dallas & Alva had been married for 53 years and produced three children from this union. Debora C. Rose (Debi), John Walter Coleman (Buddy), Leann C. Spencer. Two Son in Laws, Steve Spencer & W. Charles Rose Two Grandchildren, Amber Rayne Coleman and Stephen Ryan Spencer. Mr. Coleman was preceded in death by 5 Brothers, Walter Fletcher Coleman, George Warren Coleman, Donald James Coleman, Cecil William Coleman and Jerry Dewitt Coleman. As well as 4 Sisters, Hattie Belle Coleman Jordan, Doris Coleman, Magaleen Coleman Parker, Faye Coleman Wallace.
Mr. Coleman grew up and lived on a tobacco farm in Columbus County, NC until he was drafted into the United States Army in 1960, He served 3 years with a year long tour in Korea. After being discharged, he moved to Wilmington, NC with his wife for a short period during which time they had a baby daughter which they named Debora Lorraine (Debi). He then moved his little family back to his hometown of Delco, NC. Over the next few years their family grew to include a son, John Walter (Buddy) and another daughter, Leann Elizabeth (Leann). After an unfortunate fire destroyed their home in 1972, they again moved back to Wilmington. In 1975, Dallas was employed to help build a new corporation to be located in Southport, NC. Over the next year he worked hard with the rest of the construction crew and in 1976 Pfizer Corp. was completed. The executives of Pfizer were so impressed with Dallas and some of the other crew that they employed them to work at Pfizer. He & his family moved to Southport, NC where he worked as lead operator at Pfizer Corp. until his retirement in 1996. Mr. Coleman spent his leisure time deep sea fishing & shrimping which he loved with a passion. He also maintained a small business at the North Myrtle Beach Flea Market with his wife, Alva. Dallas spent his last few years battling COPD and numerous lung infections, however he never complained. His faith in God and the love of his family and friends kept him going. Dallas always had a smile for everyone and a great sense of humour. His laughter was infectious. He was a wonderful husband to his wife Alva; a loving and caring father to his children Debi, Buddy and Leann, including his extended family of two sons-in-laws Charles and Steve and daughter-in-law Kim, all of which he considered his children as well. He was also an absolutely devoted grandfather to his two grandchildren Amber and Ryan.
Dallas has now found the peace and rest he so deserves after a lifetime of hard work and loving devotion to his family and friends. Not only was this good man my Father-in-law, but I am also proud to have called him my friend.
MISS ME, BUT LET ME GO
When I come to the end of the road
and the sun has set me free,
I want no rites in a gloom filled room
Why cry for a soul set free?
Miss me a little but not too long,
And not with your head bowed low.
Remember the love that we once shared,
MISS ME, BUT LET ME GO.
For this journey that we all must take
And each must go alone,
It is all part of the Master's plan
A step on the road home.
When you are lonely and sick at heart
Go to the friends we know
And bury your sorrows in doing good
deeds.
MISS ME, BUT LET ME GO.
