Edwin Coffman

August 30, 1971 — May 28, 2026

In loving memory of Edwin Coffman, who was born on August 30, 1971, in the serene town of Salem, Missouri, and departed this world on May 28, 2026, leaving an indelible mark on all who were fortunate to know him. Edwin's life was tragically cut short in a senseless act of violence, leaving a void that can never be filled and a memory that will forever be cherished. Edwin was the beloved son of Wayne and Janice Coffman, both of whom predeceased him, as did his sister, Misty Land, and his cherished son, Michael Coffman. Despite the heartache of these losses, Edwin's enduring spirit and determination were evident in every aspect of his life. He was a man of honesty and straightforwardness, known throughout his life for his candor and integrity. Edwin was not always easy to get close to, but those who managed to break through his reserved exterior found a man whose loyalty and dedication were unparalleled. To be his friend was to know unwavering support and love. Edwin shared a deep and abiding bond with his wife, Felicia, with whom he built a beautiful family. He leaves behind a legacy in his children: sons Josh, Alan, Allen, Gary, and Peyton Coffman; and daughters Victoria, Gabryilla, Lexie, Megan, Lauren, Hannah, Kristy, and Cassidy Coffman. His affection and pride for each of them knew no bounds, and he was a father who taught by example, imparting lessons of resilience and integrity. His tenacity and zest for life live on in his three grandchildren, who brought him immense joy and laughter, adding an extra sparkle to his eyes. Edwin's life was further enriched by the companionship of special friends Ivy Stone and Adriana Harrison, who stood by him through thick and thin, embodying the essence of true friendship. Though Edwin's family has chosen to commemorate his life in a private funeral ceremony, they invite those who knew him to hold onto their memories and celebrate the moments shared with him in their own personal ways. In this time of profound sorrow, we honor Edwin Coffman not only for the life he lived but also for the love he shared. He was a husband, father, grandfather, and friend whose presence will be dearly missed but fondly remembered. May he rest in peace, knowing he leaves behind a legacy of love and strength.
