I haven't seen Colin since graduation day, but I still remember him as a really sweet guy in school. Tragedy is hard, but perhaps the hope of the resurrection that Jesus taught (John 5:28-29) can give some sort of peace. May your faith and memories of him help you endure.

Prayers on your behalf to our Creator,
Joe

To Colin's Family, To echo my other classmates, Colin was certainly a treasure. How blessed we are to have had the opportunity to go to school together and to have known such a caring guy. I've thought of Colin often over the years and was glad to catch up with him at the 15 class reunion. May God continue to comfort you during this difficult time. May the hope we have in Christ Jesus be your encouragement both now and the days ahead.

In Christ,
Randy Kistler

Where do I begin or how do you say good bye to such a great guy. The last time I saw Colin was at the 15th yr. class reunion and we had such a great time. He always made everyone smile with his great looks and wonderful personality. I am just so heart broken over his passing. I had been trying to find him on FB and just wish I could have had a chance to catch up with him. I pray for his whole family and bless them. I hope they always know what a wonderful job they did ,raising such a great guy. He will be miss but never ever forgotten.See you again someday.

There are some people who are too beautiful to live in this world. He was one. May God provide comfort for those who will feel this loss.

To the dear family of Colin,
I remember Colin in first grade as we chased each other down the hallway at Bath Elementary School. Boy did we get in trouble!! He is and always be a great man and dear friend. Sorry to hear of your loss. He had a huge heart and will always be in mine.
