William Skylar Coffield

William "Skylar" Coffield, age 36 of Lenoir City, cast off his broken and limited earthly body and became the glorified version of himself - limitless and perfect. He is now in Glory where all things are made new. His family was at his side as he made the transition on Sunday, March 23, 2025, at Fort Loudoun Medical Center in Lenoir City. He was born in Altamonte Springs, Florida, on August 24, 1988, the son of Dr. James L. Coffield and Mona (Holloway) Coffield, who both survive him.

Skylar lived in Dayton, Tennessee; Powell, Tennessee; Casselberry, Florida; and most recently in Lenoir City, Tennessee. He was a graduate of Winter Springs High School in Winter Springs, Florida. He loved and lived a big story; changing the lives of those who experienced his captivating soul. It proved to be difficult to live as a non-typical dreamer in this broken world. He was an autistic theologian who taught others about God and themselves. He was a member of Christ Covenant Presbyterian Church in Farragut, Tennessee.

Skylar is survived by his parents, Dr. Jim and Mona Coffield of Lenoir City; his brother, Pearce (Brelyn) Coffield of Lenoir City; his sister, Kim (Noah) Neagles of Knoxville; his aunt, Luana Holloway of Franklin, Kentucky; his uncle, Mike (Sherry) Coffield of Maryville; and his nephews, Cedar, Rowan, and Zay.

The family will receive friends in Dayton on Friday, March 28, 2025, at 4:00 p.m. at Vanderwall Funeral Home. A graveside service at Rhea Memory Gardens in Dayton will follow at 5:00 p.m. with Rev. Seth Hammond, Rev. Andrew Baughman, and Michael Palmer officiating, followed by a white dove release. A Celebration of Life for Skylar will be at Christ Covenant Presbyterian Church in Farragut, Tennessee, on Saturday, March 29, 2025, at 2:00 p.m. with visitation with the family one hour before the service.
