John was not a religious man, but at the end of his life here on earth; he accepted Jesus as his Savior and is now in Heaven, perfect and no longer in pain.

Coley; three grandchildren, Jacob, Kaden, and Landry; sisters, Terry Worden (Fred Jr.), Cindy Grymko, Carolyn Lycans (Steve) and Lori Coleman (Leonard); his brother, Michael E. Coley; many nieces and nephews, great nieces and nephews. He was preceded in death by his father, Johnny Henry Coley and mother, Ruth Ann Coley.
Even though John was disabled due to an injury while serving in the U.S. Army, he never gave up; he fought daily to do what he could to make his life and the lives of others better. He loved and cared for everyone and wanted to ensure they were happy. He was dearly loved and will be missed here on earth.
A service to honor his life will be held at Arthur-Day Funeral Home in Michigan Center on Thursday, September 8, 2022 at Noon with Reverend Larry Rubingh officiating. Visitation for family and friends will begin one hour prior to the services. Interment with military honors by the Jackson County American Legion Ritual Team at Leoni Cemetery will follow the services.
"Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Love never fails." - 1 Corinthians 13:4-8
