Harold Allen (Bud) Coe, Jr., 66, of Rockport, Texas died Friday, Jan. 29, 2010 at Rockport Coastal Care Center after a courageous battle with Parkinson’s disease and cancer. His sister Joyce was by his side. Bud was born on June 3, 1943 in Ypsilanti to Harold Allen Coe, Sr. and Beulah “Jean” (Crampton) Coe. He grew up in the Quincy area graduating from Coldwater High School in 1961. He attended Ferris College and Chicago Art School. Bud married Iva Jo Robinson in 1966. They moved to Hermosa Beach, Calif., where they became parents to their daughter Kyra Ananda Coe. Bud was best known as a free spirit and for his love of music, his gentle nature and artistic abilities. The “big tiger” painting which graced the south side of the Lamplighter Bar for many years was one of Bud’s creations. After 20 years of absence, in the late 90’s Bud made contact with the family providing them the opportunity to share the last several years of his life. During his lifetime Bud traveled extensively and live in California, Iowa and Louisiana — surviving Hurricane Katrina by helicopter rescue to Corpus Christi, Texas. While there, Bud suffered a medical trauma and chose to live out his life at Rockport Coastal Care Center, where he was cared for and greatly loved for his gentle soul and for being a special man. Bud is survived by his daughter Kyra A. Coe, granddaughter Jennifer M. Summitt, parents Harold A. and Beulah Jean Coe, Sr., sisters Joyce (Coe) Jakl and husband Michael and Janice (Coe, Szafranski) Yesh, nieces Marni Szafranski and Heidi (Szafranski) and husband Sean, nephew Tony (Jennifer) Szafranski, great nieces and nephews Alicia (Taylor) Smullen and husband Ty, Michael Ruhman, Coe and Kendyll Szafranski, Legend Szafranski and Espen and Magnus McKisic, and great-great nieces and nephews Adalie, Coelie, Anistin and Westin Smullen. Preceding Bud in death was niece Camala Dawn Szafranski in 1987. Memorial services in loving memory will be held at a later date. That information will be published in The Daily Reporter. Condolences may be sent to Harold and Jean Coe or Jan yesh at 952 Quincy Grange Rd., Quincy, MI, 49082 or Joyce Jakl, 108 Ward Ct., Lakewood, CO, 80228.
