Thursday, September 26, 2019
Our whole family is devastated by the news of Jeff’s passing. We will all cherish the memories of the countless good times shared at the hockey rinks watching our boys compete and grow into fine young men.
Jeff always found a way to make everyone smile especially after a tough loss. Always reminding us coaches that it wasn’t important whether the boys won or lost but whether the boys had fun. Then quickly reminding us that winning was much better than losing.
No one will ever forget Jeff tricking the younger brothers and sisters of the boys into pulling his finger.
Jeff had a kind and giving heart always offering to help in anyway.
His greatest accomplishment was raising great kids. He was so proud of each of them. This world was a better place with Jeff in it....and his spirit will live on in everyone he touched because anyone that knew him became a better person because of him!
God Bless Jeff! He will be missed greatly but never forgotten. God Bless the Coleman family. The Hull family pray that you find peace and comfort. We Love You.

Our thoughts and prayers go out to the entire Coleman family. This year was my son Carson’s first year as a caddie under Jeff’s guidance. Simply amazing to think about the impact Jeff made with all youth over the last 30 years. Most impressive attendance last evening at the funeral home. He will be truly missed by many.
God Bless the Coleman family.

Though I can't be there today with you all, my heart, soul and mind are there and I've asked God to surround all of you with love and peace during this time. On the day of your wedding I asked Jeff to take good care of you (ok, maybe I told him he better) because I loved you so much, Jill. I'm grateful we had each other growing up. He promised he would and has never broken that promise. Thank you, Jeff. Not only has he been a great husband to you but he's also been a great father to your children. He was what I call, a great man. There aren't many like him in this world. You were all surely blessed. My prayers will continue for all of you.

I had the honor and privilege to be Jeff's 1st assistant, when he started at Meadowbrook in the mid 80's. As a young teenager, I couldn't have had a better Boss/Mentor/Friend/Big Brother. My deepest condolences go out to Jill, his children, and family. Jeff is one of the best men I've ever known and touched so many with his acts of kindness, generosity, humor, intelligence, know how, and true passion for life. He will be forever missed, but NEVER forgotten...

Our thoughts and prayers are with the Coleman family today and always. We are members at Meadowbrook and first met Jeff almost 10 years ago. Instantly, his warm and caring personality drew us in and he became like family. He had a special friendship with our son, Jack, when it came to “talking about the golf business”, that began when he was 9 years old and continued well into his young adulthood. We are forever grateful at the impact that Jeff has made on Jack. There isn’t a person on this planet quite like Jeff Coleman. He left a lasting impression on every person he encountered. We will miss you Jeff but you will forever be in our hearts.

I am so very saddened to hear of Jeff's passing. He was more than just my boss while caddying at Meadowbrook; he was a mentor and a friend. He helped me earn an Evans Scholarship and discover a path to achieving a college education. I will miss Jeff and cherish my memories of him.
My condolences go out to the Coleman family.

On behalf of the entire Meadowbrook staff, we want Jeff's family to know how greatly Jeff will be missed and how we all enjoyed working with him. I, personally, learned to value his professionalism, kindness, and his very, very strong work ethic. While working closely with Jeff for over twenty years, the two of us we were able to form a unique kindred bond that will never be replaced. My heartfelt prayers go out to both Jeff and his lovely family.

To Jill, their children and the entire Coleman family, I am so sorry to hear of Jeff's passing. I worked for Jeff at Meadowbrook from middle school through college in the late 80's to mid 90's. Jeff was my first "boss" and I am thankful to him often for the impression he made and the opportunities he provided me. I have looked back often and now reflect on Jeff as a mentor not a boss. Jeff taught us all how to work hard, pay attention to detail, yet have fun while doing it. Jeff was generous, and took the time to teach you how to do things the right way, yet held you to high expectations. Even when Meadowbrook was closed in the winter, he found a way to get me some hours working on carts when I was home from college from winter break. He didn't have to do that, but he knew it was a way for me to make some extra money for school. So many things I learned from him as a caddy, a bag room employee and as his assistant are things that I use today. He taught me great leadership qualities before I even knew I would need them. We will all miss him, but he left a legacy. I'll always be appreciative of what he taught me.

I started at Meadowbrook as a caddie when Al Cousino was the Caddie Master. Each year there seemed to be a new Caddie Master (Pete, Frank, Greg) until Jeff Coleman came along. I retired from caddying after college but came back to see Jeff because of the impression he made on me. Every few years, I would stop by to see Jeff at Meadowbrook. It felt good that he remembered me, though I am sure he saw hundreds of kids go through the caddie program. When my son, Tyler, was ready to caddie, he was trained by Jeff. I am glad that he got the opportunity to work for Jeff as well. I will miss Jeff and I am very saddened by the news of his passing.

I was a caddie and then assistant under Jeff in my younger years- his hiring brought a new stability and rigor to the first tee at Meadowbrook. It was with his guidance that I was able to apply for and earn a life-changing Evans Scholarship to the University of Michigan. There was never a better person to work for. He was demanding, yet generous. Jeff had a unique sense of humor and could transition from all fun to all work and back again better than anyone. One of his specialties was coming up with nicknames for caddies, members, or staff. I count canoe trips with our staff and his brothers' staff, softball games, eating White Castle hamburgers at his wedding, and just hanging out in his office on early summer mornings or rainy fall days as some of my favorite memories of those years.
I've enjoyed getting together over the years for lunch or a quick visit to chat and reminisce as well as to learn about how his wife and kids were doing. He enriched my life over the years as my friend and I already miss him.
My heart goes out to his family and friends.

An old friend of mine has a son who is now a caddy and let me know of Jeff’s passing. I worked for Jeff at the first tee in the late 80s while I was an Evans Scholar. His brother Pat was a scholar when I was. Jeff was great to work for, a great role model, and my prayers go out to his whole family. He is now a legend at Meadowbrook and will be remembered fondly by all. Brian Beitz UM 1989

We are so sorry to hear of Jeff's sudden passing. We knew Jeff through Meadowbrook Country Club, having been members there until a few years ago. Jeff was an exemplary human being - always with a smile on his face, a friendly greeting and "can do" attitude. He was a great mentor to so many young people in the caddy program and set such a good example to them in his work ethic and attitude. He treated all with respect - whether you were a club member, fellow employee or caddy working under his tutelage. We had the pleasure of meeting several of his children as caddies, and Katie as the locker room attendant - all children that he could certainly be proud of. We are holding all of you in our thoughts and prayers.

Jeff was one of the finest people that I have had the privilege of knowing in my lifetime. To say he did his job well is a vast understatement. He was friendly, positive, professional and a pleasure to be around. He was one of those individuals who just brightened anyone's day. From getting to know Ryan and Drew a little, it was equally evident that he was a great father and I'm sure a great husband. I will miss him greatly. I'm so sorry for the loss of this truly extraordinary person.

Many years have brought us together. Sports, school events, kids, neighbors and long time friendship.
When we think of Mr. Jeff Colman is hard not to remember his dedication, loyalty, dependability, encouragement, routines, family values, stand-up nature, zero bias, predictable, honorable, comfortable, enduring, leadership, intelligent, welcoming, accepting, supportive, serious, hard working, fair, funny and loving ways.
We are all thinking of you and share in your grief. Our condolences.
