Dutch Coleman, the third child in a family of ten children was born to Lynford and Beulah Coleman on October 11, 1924 in Paw Paw, Michigan. As a toddler he moved with his family to New Mexico and a few years later into Colorado where Dutch was educated and grew to adulthood. On April 22, 1946 in Raton, NM he married Mary Catherine Moreland, the red haired, green eyed beauty who stole his heart at age seventeen. Dutch and Catherine were the parents of two children, Sharon and Mitchel. However, many foster children also called him Dad and many daycare children called him Papa. Beginning at age 15, he worked at various jobs, ranch hand, sheep herder, grain farmer, mink farmer, carpenter and lumber jack. In 1963, he went to work on the Wahl Ranch at Jefferson, Colorado where he worked until he retired in 1999. In 2000, he and Catherine bought a place at Canyon Creek, Montana where they lived until health issues in 2002 required they move closer to their daughter in North Dakota.
He leaves behind his wife Catherine, Dickinson; daughter, Shari (Ken) Krein, Richardton; brothers, Blackie (Doris), Delta, CO, Othel, Sparta, MO, Basile, Elizabeth, CO; sisters, Jean (Jack) Allen, Fort Walton Beach, FL and Gail (Gary) Gosage, Colorado Springs, CO; and many nieces and nephews.
He was preceded in death by his son, Mitch; parents, Lyn and Beulah; two brothers, Kenneth and an infant brother; two sisters, Armoury and Eileen; three brothers-in-law, five sisters-in-law, two nephews and two nieces.
