Never let it be said we are not born here to suffer.  The suffering helps us to grow, unite, love and appreciate the little things that glorify this life.  Colin, you are a light, Michelle and Zayne, you two wherever you are,  the etheric, the astral, the spiritual realms, may the angels all come and bring you comfort.  Thank you three for being friends that always brought us smiles and good knowledge.  May this only be the beginning of your journey together in what is to come.  I believe this whole heartedly and have seen things that suggest it to be true.  May beings of light release all of you from your loss and fill your hearts with meaning and purpose because God knows, that is the way Michelle lived life and wants it.  All of our love!

It is with great sadness that I am writing this message. I knew Michelle briefly when we were both transplants to Gig Harbor, WA.  We sat next to each other and she was the first staff member to show me kindness and acceptance. Michelle had a twinkle in her eyes and a beautiful smile. She fiercely and openly loved Colin and her dog and was always up for an adventure in the Pacific Northwest. 

I never knew her as a mom to Zayne but I know he was truly blessed to have her and I know she felt so fortunate to have him. 

Colin, I cannot imagine the loss you feel. My thoughts are with you as you continue to navigate through such tragedy. 

I am sending my love and prayers to you and the rest of Michelle and Zayne’s family.

I am so very sorry to hear of the tragic passing of Michelle and Zayne. I met her in BNI about 5 years ago and she was a lovely and sweet young woman. I believe she and Zayne will continue to live forever in the Kingdom of God, and that Jesus is holding them close. My prayers are for the family and friends who are now walking a path they never imagined. May our Father God comfort you, assure you, and bring you peace.

Michelle & Zayne lived right behind us, lots of memories of son & I hanging out at their house... Such beautiful people, full of life...Thankful to of gotten to be their friend for this short time. 
sending love & hugs to Colen & their family

That smile sure was infectious and camera ready.

So thankful for the opportunity I was given to be his teacher.

Our thoughts are with you and your family. We are so sorry for your loss.

I’m so sorry that such a beautiful human being not with us anymore. 
I know Michelle for 16 years and she was many things for me. She was my maid of honor, my roommate, best friend of my husband and true friend to me. 
We drink together, play poker together, I cleaned after her, she danced with me. Her beautiful voice, her captivating energy, her elegance while angry will be never forgotten. 
She helped me the pass my drive test, taught me my first drinking game. She was my accountant when she told me “I was killing it in business” it made feel proud of myself to hear that from her. 
Her beautiful face her beautiful lips her beautiful voice, her open mind, big heart…
I always love you Michelle. 
Please except my condolences.

🤗 We met Michelle, such a warmhearted person, for the first time this May and spent real great days with her…

To the entire Binkley and Tourjee family:  There are no words to express our sorrow for the unexpected loss of Michelle and Zayne. Sending our love and heartfelt prayers to all at this very difficult time.

Colin and family, I feel privileged to have worked for Michelle at her CPA office. She was kind, smart and a great teacher to me. My heart hurts for you all .

My heartfelt condolences for your loss. I met Michelle when we worked in adjoining cubicles at CRI. Michelle was a wonderful person on top of being a natural leader and I enjoyed working with her. She will be greatly missed and your family is in my prayers.

I haven't seen Michelle since she left destin but the first thing I thought about was her big smile. She always had a smile on her face even the tough times. I hope the best for all family and friends but I will always have great memories of Michelle.

I met Michelle through BNI when she first attended training. She had the biggest smile and positive attitude of anyone in the room. 
Michelle joined the Director as an Ambassador and she was known as my "favorite".  I loved the times spent together and always looked forward to her bright personality lighting up any room.
Michelle will always be remembered. I will miss her..♥️😘....my favorite!

I had the pleasure of working with Michelle.  Michelle was incredibly intelligent, diligent, caring and beautiful.  I know she loved her husband and son to the moon and back.   Everyone who met Michelle and this community  will suffer a great deal for her loss.  I pray for peace and calming to her husband Colin and her entire family.

I didn’t know Michelle and Zayne 
But  my dear friends that lives across the street from them were very close with Michelle , Zayne and Colin
 I heard a lot of sweet stories about Zayne all time I’m so very sorry for your loss. 🙏🙏👼👼

Dear Colin,

You know how much I loved Michelle.  She was so special to me from the moment we first attended BNI in-person training and shared lunch together at Denny's.  She was a very sweet and intelligent woman who loved you and Zayne very much.

It was my special honor and pleasure to create with her an office space at CPA where she and Zayne could comfortably be together during those long days during tax season and you made sure you worked alongside me to make it happen.  She will be so missed by me.  I pray that you will cling to God during this difficult time.  He is the only One who can truly make your burden lighter.

Love , Peace,  Comfort to YOU,
Kay Eyermann

I do not know you but I feel that your family’s grief passes through me. I am Mason Beetles grandmother. I know he loved the time he spent with Zayne at scouts. He mentioned him many times.,  and when I heard about the crash I felt that we would be attached to it in some way. Please know we are praying for you all and that as Mason goes through his grief, we all will be too.

I have such fond memories of Michelle when she and her family were our neighbors.  
Once, she and her mom went shopping either at the Goodwill or Salvation Army.  Michelle came home with a pink  lacy formal  dress for prom or bride’s maid dress to play dress up in..  Floor length.  She wore it around for a day or two.  I think they also got skates that day.  She had so much fun playing dress up and skating with those skates.
She also tutored my son in math in middle school.  She was great at math.  Their conversations during the tutoring sessions as they sat at the kitchen table were  hilarious.
Such a beautiful, funny, smart capable young woman that will be greatly missed.  
I am confident we will see her again and meet her son in heaven someday.  We love you.

In loving memory of Michelle Tourjee, and Zayne. A cherished friend, my accountant for years and a beautiful soul. I always enjoyed seeing Zayne at the office when I stopped in. Your laughter, kindness, and warmth touched all of our lives. You will be forever missed but never forgotten. Rest in peace Zayne and Michelle.

My heart goes out to Colin and the family. I am truly saddened by their passing and can only seek any solace in knowing that they lived life well, and were loved and respected when they were with us.  I will always remember their genuine smiles and laughter.

So very saddened and heartbroken to learn of the automobile accident which took the life of Michelle and Zayne.  I knew Michelle as a member of the Kiwanis Club of Cortez.  We were both USAF veterans and I appreciated her military service and was glad I had the opportunity to thank her for that service.  She surely will be missed.  Sincere sympathies to Colin and the family.

Michelle and Zayne were an incredible duo to have in our office. Michelle was always coming in with an incredible smile, ready to seize the day. Zayne accompanied her many times and brought a smile to our teams' faces every single time with his goofy jokes or funny comments. These two will not only be missed, but they will be remembered and celebrated every time we think of them.

With love,
-The Team at Trilogy Chiropractic

Michelle contacted me on January 2021 to ask me to help her through tax season. That relationship lasted for 2 years until she sold Coastal Professional Accounting. Michelle was a sweet and compassionate professional who worked hard for every client. She was extremely intelligent and constantly dug for the best solution. She was also a devoted mom to Zayne. Zayne was a bright child who was deeply loved by both parents and grandparents. He was daddy's boy and spent lots of quality time with Colin. I treasured the time I spent with this family and will miss them greatly.
