It is with great sadness that we share the passing of Ronald “Ron” Coleman, a valued member of the Board of Directors of the Greater Detroit Agency for the Blind and Visually Impaired.

Ron was more than a board member. He was a true supporter and friend of our Agency. He regularly attended our events, generously gave his time, talent, and treasure, and was someone we could always depend on.

Ron was also a dedicated Lion who truly believed in service. He lived that commitment through the support he gave to his community and to our Agency. His presence, encouragement, generosity, and dedication will be deeply missed.

We extend our heartfelt condolences to Ron’s family, friends, fellow Lions, and all who knew and loved him.

Thank you, Ron, for your service, your friendship, and the difference you made. Your legacy of service will not be forgotten.
