Welcome to the vibrant and charming world of the Colemans. The family of Brandon (51), Scarlett (10), Denton (6), and their adventurous cat “Sunshine” have been living in the Northgate neighborhood for the past three years. This neighborhood captured their hearts with its top-notch schools and the warm embrace of family and friends nearby. Sunshine, the family’s feline hero, enjoys daily escapades around the neighborhood, ensuring everything is safe and sound before returning home for his well-deserved cuddles.
Brandon was raised in San Jose by his parents, Indy (74) and Pat (69). He is a proud alumnus of UC Davis and Dominican University. For the past 21 years, Brandon has been a cornerstone of the John Muir Hospital family, currently working in the Cath Lab. His life mantra, “Loyalty,” is not just a word but a legacy he’s passing down to Scarlett and Denton.
Speaking of family, Indy and Pat are the epitome of cool grandparents. Now enjoying their golden years, they love spending time with their grandkids. Indy’s free time is about fun with Scarlett and Denton, while Pat, the busy bee, still dabbles in contracting. Their love for travel is infectious – last year, it was Israel, and this year, they’re heading to the emerald landscapes of Ireland. And let’s not forget those unforgettable trips with the grandkids to Hawaii and Jamaica!
Scarlett, our young dynamo, is making waves in Club Vibe’s volleyball team, Wildfire. She’s not just an athlete; she’s a leader and a star at Walnut Acres, juggling student council duties, contributing to the school newspaper, and shining bright as Simba in the Curtains Up Youth Theatre’s production of “The Lion King.” Denton, her charming younger brother, is following in her footsteps at Walnut Acres and is geared to hit home runs in the Walnut Creek Little League.
It’s not just the kids who are sports aficionados – this family lives and breathes sports! Whether cheering for the Forty-Niners, rooting for the SF Giants, or getting competitive during the Super Bowl, Spring Training, and March Madness, they know how to have a good time. “The Trophy” won during March Madness isn’t just a prize; it’s a symbol of fun, family, and friendship.
Their love for celebration extends beyond sports. Picture this: friends, family, and co-workers coming together for amazing weekends filled with laughter, fireworks on the Fourth of July and New Year’s, and indulging in those unique family recipes every Thanksgiving.
Let’s not forget the epic movie nights every Friday. Brandon, the family’s tech wizard, has created a home theater that’s nothing short of a cinematic paradise, and the kids are absolutely thrilled.
To wrap this up, here are some fun tidbits: Great-Grandma Maxine lived a remarkable century, and Brandon is a DIY maestro with a knack for sprucing up homes and cars. Say hello to these fairly new neighbors, the Colemans, when you see them around town!
