With heavy hearts and profound gratitude for a life well-lived, we announce the peaceful passing of Arthur Lee Coleman Jr., who departed this world on July 4, 2026, at the age of 91. Born on April 4, 1935, in the heart of Dallas County, Arthur's journey was one marked by love, resilience, and a steadfast commitment to his family and community. Arthur was the cherished son of Mr. Arthur Coleman Sr. and Mrs. Mattie Coleman. He was preceded in death by his beloved wife, Mrs. Ethel Lee Coleman, and his siblings, Ernest Coleman, Claude Coleman, and Dannie Mae NeSmith, with whom he shared an unbreakable bond. Arthur's legacy lives on in the hearts of his children: Deborah (Stanley) Langham, Marilyn Taleton, Shelia Watts, James (Patricia) Bryant, and Melvin Pettway. His devotion to family extended to his role as a loving brother to his surviving siblings, Hattie (James) Bumpass, Chris (Lee) Parker, Mattie (Joseph) LaDuna, Clay (Mittie Mae) Coleman, Carolina Kendrick, and Columbus Coleman. Arthur's heart was further filled with joy by his four grandchildren and six great-grandchildren, who brought him endless pride and happiness.
