Remembering Sgt. Frederick Coleman: A Brother, An Officer, A Friend

Sgt. Frederick Coleman was more than just a name or a rank — he was the embodiment of unwavering loyalty, courage, and integrity. In every role he embraced, whether as an officer or as a friend, Frederick was the kind of person who never left anyone questioning where he stood. It was always clear: if you needed someone to have your back, Frederick would be there without hesitation. That certainty was a rare and precious gift to everyone fortunate enough to know him.

At Cummins, Frederick was more than a colleague. He was a cornerstone of the team — a steady presence whose strength inspired confidence and calm in the most challenging situations. His dedication went beyond the call of duty, not because it was expected, but because it was who he was at his core. His work ethic, combined with his genuine care for others, set a standard that resonated far beyond the walls of Cummins. His impact was felt deeply and widely, shaping the culture of support and respect that defines the community he served.

But it wasn’t just his professionalism that made Frederick unforgettable. It was the way he showed up as a friend — with a kind heart, a ready smile, and an unwavering sense of loyalty. Friends knew they could rely on him through every twist and turn, in moments of celebration and in times of hardship. His presence was a source of strength, a reminder that no matter what, someone had your back. That trust was never misplaced, and it forged bonds that will endure long after his time here.

To say Frederick will be missed is an understatement. His absence leaves a space that can never be fully filled. But his legacy—of courage, kindness, and loyalty—remains a guiding light. At Cummins and far beyond, the values he lived by continue to inspire all who knew him.

Frederick, we carry your spirit forward. We’ve got it from here, brother. Thank you for everything you gave, for everything you stood for, and for the brotherhood you fostered. You will always be remembered, respected, and deeply missed.
