William Jack “Buddy” Coons Sr., 78, entered Heaven on Feb. 4, 2018. Visitation will be at Colbert Memorial today from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m. Burial will be in Colbert Memorial Gardens. There will be no funeral services as Brother Jack preached his funeral for the past 34 years living for Jesus Christ and sharing the gospel.
He was preceded in death by his parents, Dewey McKinley and Mary Francis Highfield Coons; son, Jamie McKinley Coons; and sister, Martha Williams.
Survivors include his wife of 45 years, Annie Dawson Coons; sister, Betty Malone Davis; his children, Fran Robertson (Rick), Jackie Coons, Kristy Coons Blackburn (Ed), Donny Coons, Ricky Creasy, Ronnie Hall, and Wanda Evans; grandchildren, Ricky, Jorden, Michael-Ann, Morgan, Jake, Emily, Sam, and Natalie; and great-grandchild, Joshua; beloved nieces and nephews; and friends.
He was the pastor of Full Gospel Assembly of Christ in Tuscumbia, Alabama. His passion was telling people about Jesus and winning souls to the Lord. He loved making friends and always kept people laughing with his great sense of humor.
He is loved tremendously by his family and will be missed more than words can describe.
