In addition to his parents, Glen was proceeded in death by two brothers: Roger and Danny Coleman; and two brothers-in-law: Terry Wilson and Gerard Boyer.

Mr. Coleman worked in Fenton, Missouri for Chrysler until he retired from there in 2002.

Glen had a great influence on the lives of many by his generosity and knowledge of horses. His love for his land and working on the land with his daughters and grandchildren. He was a fair and honest man that spoke his mind and lived his life how he seen fit. Stubborn in his ways he lived his life to the fullest and was happy living amongst his animals , land and family. He was a great supervisor of work to be done.

Mr. Coleman enjoyed watching westerns, spending time with his girls and grandchildren and being a collector of many things and animals over the years. Glen loved a good glass of milk, biscuits, bananas, and vitamins which almost made him invincible. Glen was good dad, and was a proud Frenchman. Glen was wise beyond the years. Often said,”The world wasn’t built in one day. Even god would take a rest.” The Charles G with the big C will be deeply missed.
