Timothy William Coleman

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 and playing with his grandkids. 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 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; extended birth family including mother, Linda Diane Young; brothers, Lynwood “Wood” Jarels, Jesse Dyer and Greg Roberts; uncles, Gary Schultz, Gene Schultz and Matt Schultz, aunt, Judy Schultz, nephew, Jesse “Little Jesse” Dyer; 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. Online condolences may be expressed to the family by visiting www.johnmoakey.com.
