Timothy William Coleman, 63, of Roanoke County, Virginia, passed away peacefully on Thursday, July 24, 2026. He was born January 4, 1963, to the late Herbert and Mazie Lee Powell Coleman.

Timothy (Tim or Timmy to close friends) was a “number one class A truck driver” of which he was most proud. He loved hauling freight, especially heavier and more challenging loads. He loved Harley Davidson motorcycles, fishing, hunting and doing anything that involved working with his hands. Tim loved being a PawPaw to his Kenny Rae and Jameson and he made sure Sundays were spent with his grandbabies. He especially loved feeding them ice cream. Tim was a simple man who enjoyed sitting on the porch with a beer and a cigarette playing music with friends and family. Tim was strong, brave, stubborn, a little sharp around the edges and incredibly ornery, but he would do anything to help anyone who needed it. He will be remembered for giving his daughter the best advice on her darkest days by reminding her of her heritage in that she “was a Coleman and Coleman’s are tough, kid, so keep your head up and move on.” He touched so many lives, was deeply loved and will be greatly missed.

Those remaining to cherish his memory are his daughters, Krystal Hawk, Stevie Strickland and Haley Johnson and husband, Ben; grandchildren, Makenly Johnson and Jameson Johnson; as well as numerous special friends who were like family to Tim.

The family will welcome friends to gather for a time of visitation on Thursday, July 30, 2026, from 6:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m., in the Upper Parlor of John M. Oakey & Son Funeral Home, Salem. Interment will be held privately.
