Quinn Egan Coleman

Quinn Egan Coleman 94, passed away peacefully at McKay Dee Hospital on Thursday morning January 15, 2026, following a recent illness and causes incident to age. He was born on December 31, 1931, in Logan, Utah to George Henry Coleman and Alta Leora Egan. He grew up in Smithfield, Utah attending Summit Elementary and Smithfield Junior High with his older brother Val and younger brother Gene. Later younger brothers Merrit and Randy rounded out the family. He graduated from North Cache High School in 1950.

After high school he enlisted in the US Navy along with his best friend and cousin Delmar Coleman. He proudly served his country on the USS Yancey and USS Uvlade as Boilerman Second Class. Quinn returned home after an honorable discharge in February 1955.

Quinn married Mary Lucille Danielson, whom he had known from childhood having grown up in the same neighborhood in Smithfield, in March of 1955. Quinn and Mary moved to South Ogden where he found employment at the Defense Depot Ogden for a short time before getting a job at Hill Air Force Base where he would be employed for the remainder of his 33-year career in government service. Upon retirement from Hill Field, he was employed for several years as a flagger for JB Parson Construction.

His first three children, Ann, Jon and Ross, were born in South Ogden, before the family moved to Roy in 1962 where they lived for the next 63 years. Children Daren, Robert and Evan “Fritz” were born in Ogden and raised with the rest of the children in Roy.

Quinn was a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. He served faithfully in many church callings throughout his life, including 11 years as Ward Finance Clerk. He also served in the Bishopric of the Roy 15th Ward, as a Temple Worker in the baptistry at the Ogden Temple, as a Church Service Missionary in the Bishops Storehouse and Cannery in Ogden and as a Church Farm Missionary with his close friend Allen Zaugg at the Roy Grape Farm. He volunteered at the Roy Seniors Center where he served every day for over 30 years accounting for the lunch money and was the card game coach (specifically pinochle). He made many close and lasting friendships from his association there.

Quinn is survived by his wife, Mary of Roy, UT; daughter, Ann (Blake) Stewart of Roy, UT; sons, Jon Quinn (Nonna) Coleman of Pleasant View, UT, Ross Lionel (Diane) Coleman of Kent, WA, Daren Ray (Mary) Coleman of West Point, UT, Robert Dee (Janiel) Coleman of Ogden, UT, and Evan Brett “Fritz” (Megan) Coleman of Roy, UT; 25 grandchildren and 46 great-grandchildren; brother, Randy (ReNae) Coleman; and sisters-in-law, Elaine (Merrit) Coleman and Lesetta (Gene) Coleman.
