Kenny Coleman

Kenny Coleman lived in Jonesboro, Arkansas, and was 57 years old when he died on December 28, 2016. Public records and contemporaneous local news identify him by name and age and place his death in the 200 block of Miller Street in Jonesboro. Beyond those basic facts, the public record available to this research effort offers only limited, factual details about his life.

Because no family-published obituary or funeral-home notice was found that matches his name and the exact date of death, what can be offered here is a restrained remembrance that honors his personhood without speculation. Kenny was more than the brief public notices that reported his passing; he was someone known to neighbors and acquaintances in his community. The reports that named him indicate he was part of the social fabric of Jonesboro — a neighbor, friend, or acquaintance to people in the area — and that his death was felt by those who discovered and reported it.

This page acknowledges the limits of what is publicly documented: there is no accessible family-authored obituary, no published life narrative, and no publicly available record found in mainstream local news or funeral-home listings that provides personal details such as family members, work, hobbies, or a full birth date. In the absence of those sources, it is important to treat Kenny’s life with care and restraint. He was a real person who mattered to others; even when public documentation is sparse, the fact that his name and age are recorded in multiple reliable local news reports means he should be remembered with dignity.

Those who wish to add remembrances, photographs, or family-verified details are encouraged to contribute material from relatives or a funeral home so that Kenny’s full story can be told by those who knew him best. Until then, this remembrance holds space for Kenny Coleman as a member of the Jonesboro community whose life — like every life — had value beyond the brief public notices that marked his passing.
