Rob Coleman Family Fund

With great sadness, we announce the loss of our beloved Robert D. Coleman, Jr. Rob is survived by his wife, Kristin; his children, Samantha and Robert; his mother, Petronella A. Coleman, his father, Robert D. Coleman, Sr (Joyce Kent), his mother-in-law, Kim Sharp and predeceased by his father-in-law, Wayne Sharp.

Rob meant the world to his family and friends, and his loss leaves an immense hole in our hearts. Few people on this earth could make you think, look at the world from different angles, or laugh as Rob could. He was generous, loyal, patient, kind, quick-witted and brilliant. Whether you knew this gentle giant as a friend, coworker, coach, mentor, teacher, chef, scout, SAE brother, or board/committee member, you realize what a tremendous privilege it was to know Rob Coleman.

Rob was too young to leave us, and he had so much yet to accomplish. Sadly, cancer stood in his way. Kristin, Samantha, and Robert would like to express their sincere gratitude to all who have reached out to them, shared stories and pictures of Rob, and offered support. The genuine outpouring of love has been tremendously comforting to the entire family.

Family and friends have set up this GoFundMe to help Kristin with the astronomical costs associated with Rob’s illness. Yes, Rob will be mad at us for doing this, and we await his wrath from above.
