Jack Aaron Coate Obituary

Jack Aaron Coate, age 14, of Sylvania, died September 9, 2021. He was born December 1, 2006, in Toledo. Highly intelligent and dedicated, Jack was a freshman honor student at Sylvania Southview High School. He loved spending time with his friends and was an amazing athlete, particularly with endurance sports. He loved running, especially cross country and enjoyed being in the water. Jack liked to play in the creek, swam with the Sylvania Tsunami Swim Club and was co-captain of his Sylvania water polo team. From an early age, Jack demonstrated a natural ability to be focused and put forth relentless effort in accomplishing a task. He could work for hours to complete the most complex of Lego creations, lift weights while playing video games, swim or run with incredible stamina until a game or race was complete. Jack also possessed an inherent kindness and inclination to be helpful and encouraging, especially with younger children and his cousins. He was involved with Cub Scouts and particularly enjoyed Pinewood Derby races. He also earned a first-degree black belt in Tae Kwon Do. Jack will be lovingly remembered for his appreciation for the simple, minimal things of life and for his deeply compassionate heart. He was a devoted son, brother, grandson, nephew, and cousin. Left to cherish his memory are his parents, Aaron and Carrie; sisters, Lauren and Hailey; grandparents, Ike and Kathy Coate; aunt, Jenny (Matt) Smith; uncle, Jeff (Kim) Reynolds; cousins, Tyler and Lily Smith, Daniel and A.J. Reynolds; and family pet tortoise, George. His grandmother, Leesa Reynolds, is deceased. Visitation will be held from 1-9 p.m., Thursday, September 16, 2021, in the Walker Funeral Home, 5155 Sylvania Ave. (west of Corey Rd.) where a ceremony to celebrate and honor Jack’s life will be begin at 10:00 a.m., Friday, September 17, 2021.
