Paul John Coleman, IV., 20 of Philadelphia, PA passed away suddenly and tragically but surrounded by love on Monday, October 20, 2026.

Paul is the beloved son of Sandy and Fran and Paul Coleman III. Paul is the adored brother of Sara and his twin Allie. He is predeceased by his Mom Mom, Peggy Vaughan.

His Uncle Dan Vaughan (Theresa), His Aunt Valerie (Butch Rulon), Aunt Jennifer O’Keefe (Kenny) Loving cousin to Lauren (Lon), and Maddison. Step brother to Lacey Bogdash (Alex). Paul is survived by hundreds of friends, maybe thousands.

Pauly grew up unassumingly in Rhawnhurst. He hated the beach, squirrels and being cold. He graduated from Philadelphia Academy Charter High School in 2020. He worked at Three Monkeys Cafe from the day he got his drivers license until the present. He has many nicknames, depending on who you talked to …… Pauly Pickels, Pauly Pumpkin, Party Paul, Pauly Walnuts, Pauly D, Pup, Paul Paul, Pauly Pauly, Bud, Palco, the biggest one was “my best friend.” I dare you to find someone who he did not make happier after meeting him. He was one of a kind and will never be forgotten.

Paul did not have a long list of accolades after his name. His accolades included; a true blessing, brought a smile to everyone, security blanket, my person, genuine, kind, hilarious… The words I have read to describe Pauly are never ending and the same words have been repeated time and time again. Pauly was the best part of many of you and the best part of us, his family.
