March 4, 1933 – February 11, 2020
Paul Stephen Coleman, educator, husband, father, prankster and friend, passed away peacefully on February 11, 2020 with his wife Judy at his side. Paul was the consummate teacher of life lessons, book studies, physical fitness, mechanics of every kind, common sense, and thoughtful decisions. He encouraged those around him to think before they speak or act. He was actively involved in Boy Scouts both as a scout and a scout master. He was a long time member of Kiwanis Club in Saguache, a life member of B.P.O.E. Elks Club in Saguache and Central City, and a 30 year member of St Paul’s Episcopal Church inCentral City. He was also a 30 year prostate cancer survivor.
Born and raised to a ranching family in Saguache, CO on March 4, 1933, he was the middle son of five boys. He learned how to work hard from his mother Hazel and father Roy who preceded him in death along with brothers Mel, Charles (Corky), and Jim. He had chores at age four, and quickly learned that the animals got fed before he did in the morning, and studies came before play in the evening. His parents instilled the value of a good education in all their boys – his surviving brother Randy can attest to that.
