Aaron P. Coleman

April 13, 1984 - June 6, 2018

Aaron Patrick Coleman, 34, of Minocqua, passed away on June 6, 2018. He will be lovingly remembered by his parents, Sharon Coleman and Stephen Coleman, his brother Jason Jaynes, sister Christin (Chris) VanKauwenberg, and fiancé Kate Bein, and dozens of cousins, aunts, uncles, and loving friends. He was preceded in death by his grandparents, Don and Maizie Pittman, and grandmother Roslyn Coleman. To those lucky enough to have known him, Aaron was the type of friend we should all aspire to be. Throughout the years, he has been a savior to many friends in a great number of ways. Incredibly reliable, you could always count on him to lend a hand, even when he had no clue what he was getting himself into. His generosity and support were limitless, even to those whom he had just met. Aaron’s passion was one of his defining characteristics, and his many hobbies led him to cross paths with people from all walks of life. His friendship was quiet and reserved, unlike his passion for driving, skiing, and boats which were lived loud and fast. You could find in Aaron a fishing buddy, a partner to shred the gnar, a shoulder to lean on, and a willing companion to share in your passion for life and adventure. His presence will be sorely missed, but his unwavering desire to help those around him is something we should all strive to carry with us for the rest of our time. A visitation will be held on Saturday, June 16 from 11 am-1 pm at Bolger Funeral Home in Minocqua, followed by a celebration of life at The Boathouse from 1-4 pm. In lieu of flowers, please send donations to Minocqua Winter Park (minocquawinterpark.org) or the St. Croix River Association (www.stcroixriverassociation.org).
