He was an avid golfer and enjoyed his time golfing with his buddies. His career included working for the railroad, home building, and a car dealer. His carpentry skills are reflected throughout Troutman Chapel.
He is survived by his loving wife of sixty-four years, Bertha (Beagles) Coran; four sons, Sonny Kuykendall and his wife Jerry, Barton Henderson and his wife Polly, Daryl Coran and his wife Marsha, and Richard Coran and his wife Sherry; three daughters, Betty Hammer and her husband Lonnie, Wanda Hale, and Gaye Searles and her husband Paul; twenty-five grandchildren; fifty-nine great-grandchildren; and seven great great-grandchildren.
In addition to his parents, he was preceded in death by three brothers, John Coran, Wayne Coran, and James Coran; and one sister, Louise Winters.
