Theodore D. Coleman

Theodore Darius Coleman, age 90, of Sarasota, Florida, passed away peacefully surrounded by family. Born on March 15, 1935, in Pikeville, Kentucky, he was the beloved son of Ted Coleman and Violet Counts.

Theodore, known to most as a kind and soft-spoken man, lived a life marked by hard work, quiet strength, and deep love for his family. Though his words were few, when he spoke, they carried meaning and wisdom. He dedicated his professional life to real estate, building a successful career as a Realtor and earning the prestigious Columbus Realtors 25 Million Dollar Award in recognition of his outstanding achievements.

Beyond his professional accomplishments, Theodore’s greatest pride was his family. He was a devoted husband, father, grandfather, and great-grandfather—loving, caring, and always present. He instilled the values of perseverance and integrity in those around him.

He is survived by his children Deborah, Elizabeth, Cynthia, and Trace; his grandchildren James, Jason, Becky, Melissa, Nathan, Kasey, Abbee, Lillee, Leela, and Ellee; and his great-grandchildren Cairo, Leilani, Lucas, Kylie, Jude, and Cameron. He also leaves behind his brothers Don and the memories of his late siblings Joe, Herbert, and Violet.

Theodore’s legacy lives on through the many lives he touched and the generations he helped shape. He will be dearly missed and forever remembered.

A private graveside service will take place at Palms Memorial Park, 170 Honore Ave., Sarasota FL.
