Jerry Grant Coles II

Jerry Grant Coles II aka “Big Daddy Woo Woo”, passed away suddenly on May 4, 2021 doing what he loved the most. He was born February 14, 1970 in Des Moines to Jerry and Laurie (Nicholson) Coles, Sr.

Jerry enjoyed collecting clocks and was a world class tinkerer. His greatest passion was riding his motorcycle and his greatest joy was being a father. Jerry was a member of Laborer’s Local 177. He was an animal lover, great cook, and could throw down in the kitchen with the best of them. Although he had a tough exterior, he had the biggest heart of anyone you could hope to meet. He will be missed dearly and his memory will live on through the lives he touched.

He is survived by his children, Kamie, Conner, Caleb and Kayla; grandchildren, Isaiah, Nazik, Nazirah, Kamilah and one on the way; father, Jerry (Laura) Coles, Sr.; sister, Stacey (Eugene) Behles; and many relatives and friends.

Jerry was preceded in death by his mother, Laurie Nicholson Coles; and the mothers of his children, Katherine Corrigan (Kamie) and Karrie Davis (Conner, Caleb and Kayla) .

Visitation will be held from 5:00 to 7:00 p.m., with a service at 7:00 p.m. on Tuesday, May 18, 2021 at Hamilton’s Funeral Home, 605 Lyon Street, Des Moines.
