Ronald P.

Coleman

Ronald "Pat" Coleman was called home to the Lord on Monday, November 9, 2026, at the age of 77.

Born on March 16, 1949, in Syracuse, New York, Pat was a loving, wonderful, and kind-hearted brother, uncle, and friend. He touched the lives of those around him through his kindness, generosity, and the special place he held in the hearts of his family and friends.

Pat dedicated many years of service to the City of Oswego, at the Department of Public Works (DPW) Garage. After more than 35 years of dedicated service, he retired on December 31, 2005.

A devoted sports fan, Pat was an avid New York Yankees and Buffalo Bills fan. He was also one of his niece and nephew's biggest fans, always cheering them on and supporting them in whatever sport they participated in.

Pat also enjoyed the simple pleasures in life, including going for scenic drives, attending the Syracuse Nationals, and admiring classic cars. He had a love for Dunkin' Donuts coffee and good conversation, always enjoying the opportunity to sit down, share a cup of coffee, and catch up with friends.

Pat was blessed with many wonderful friendships throughout his life. Among those closest to his heart was his companion, Marsha Dorval, along with his dear friends Charles Fellows and Dick Haynes. He shared a particularly special bond with his best friend and cousin, Suzie Mahoney, whose friendship held a cherished place in his life.

Pat was predeceased by his beloved parents, John E. Coleman and Betty J. Coleman.

Pat was not only a loving brother but also a wonderful uncle who held a special place in the hearts of his niece, nephew, and great-niece. He will be remembered for the love he shared with them and the special bond they held.

He leaves behind his beloved sister, Mary Coleman; his niece, Mackenzie Coleman (Eric Haines); his nephew, Ryan Coleman; and his great-niece, Abigail Coleman, who will forever cherish his memory.

In accordance with Pat's wishes, there will be no funeral or memorial services.

In lieu of flowers, those wishing to honor Pat's memory are encouraged to make a donation in his name to St. Jude Children's Research Hospital
