George grew up in Jackson, Ohio and graduated from Jackson High School in 1962.

He settled down with his family in Jackson and worked at Goodyear as an engineer for a number of years.

He was preceded in death by his dear brother, John Coleman in February of this year as well as his sister, Peggy Coleman and brother, Anthony Coyan.
George loved his family, his country, and his Buckeyes and was devoted to helping and serving the people of Jackson. He would not have chosen to live anywhere else. This was his home.
