Colie Jackson Sparrow, Jr.

November 29, 1942 - December 19, 2014

Colie Jackson Sparrow, Jr., 72, of Cape Coral, formerly of Jarrettsville, MD, passed away Friday, December 19, 2014 in Cape Coral. He was born November 29, 1942 in Baltimore, MD to Colie and Lorraine Sparrow, now deceased.

Colie was a generous man and loved by all who know him. He loved life and lit up a room with his humor and presence. When in Maryland, he loved boating on the Chesapeake Bay with his friends and neighbors who took many excursions together. Colie worked in the heavy industry field in Baltimore until his retirement. When Colie retired from boating and moved to Jarrettsville he made it a point every morning to gather at the local general store and associate with the many horse farm owners. Many mornings he would watch the running of the hounds at the local hunt club. Finally he moved to Florida to enjoy the warmer weather and sunshine along with his wife. In the photo is Colie’s beloved Ruffie, who was his constant companion and predeceased him.

He is survived by his beloved wife of 39 years, JoAnn Sparrow of Cape Coral; son, Darryl Lee Sparrow of NC; one brother, Michael Lee Sparrow of Deerfield Beach, FL as well as his Border collie pet, Brownie.
