Cloys Dean Coomer

Cloys learned about the Lord, family and hard work early in life - picking cotton, walking the rice levies & tending the family farm.

He attended Bono School before the family moved to Marcellus, MI where he graduated High School in 1958. After moving to Memphis in 1961, he worked repairing major home kitchen appliances and was co-wner of Ballard Appliance for two decades before his retirement in 2012. He always had a life quote to give or the perfect song for any situation and was an avid fan of U of M Tigers basketball.

Cloys was a member of the Bartlett Woods Church of Christ in Bartlett, TN.

He was preceded in death by his father, Edward Coomer, mother, Verna Mae Coomer, infant sister Mildred, brother Jimmy Dale Coomer, 2 step-sons Tim Cockrell & Mark Cockrell.

He leaves his wife of 49 years Carolyn, sister Gladys Gregson, son Phillip Coomer (Kathy), daughter Jennifer Redd (Kevin), nine grandchildren, five great-grandchildren, numerous Aunts, Uncles, nieces, nephews & cousins. He is already greatly missed and irreplaceable in our hearts.
