Christopher Geoffrey Collinge was born in Montreal, Canada on August 14, 1990, and passed away on June 28, 2023. Chris is survived by his mother Monique Leblanc (Arnie Oliver), father James Collinge, sister Stephanie Collinge, grandmother Carmel Leblanc and his many aunts, uncles and cousins, who all adored their Chris. His forever valentine, fiancé Abby Kosling and their dog Olive were to be married in August in Colorado where they were building their life together. They fell in love, despite their differences, and something rare and beautiful was created.
In his short 32 years, Chris showed us the true meaning of kindness and compassion. Every day, Chris showered his friends and family with unconditional love, care, and gentleness. Chris’s zest for life, infectious spirit, and his way of making everyone feel special and connected, were gifts he shared with all people and animals in his world. Chris was known for his deep life conversations and staying true to his values.
Chris had a fierce passion for the outdoors. An avid fly fisherman, Chris happily spent hours wading and fishing the beautiful Colorado mountain waters, always taking care to release the trout gently into its cold Colorado stream.
A force to be reckoned with on the ski slopes, Chris was an accomplished telemark skier but always slowed down to help those less accomplished, ensuring their safe passage to the bottom of the mountain.
Chris’s athleticism was epic. He picked up wake skating and quickly progressed to the level of sponsorship. Ice hockey, soccer, baseball, and lacrosse were all sports he easily mastered.
There will be a celebration of Chris’s life on Monday, July 3, 10:00 a.m. to noon, Rough Hollow Yacht Club & Pavilion, 103 Yacht Club Cove, Lakeway, TX, 78734. Dress is Chris casual.
Wherever Chris is now, we know he is next to us making sure we are happy. He was a truly compassionate, stellar human. May we all take a page from the book of Chris Collinge and spread kindness to all we meet. We love you forever Chris Collinge.
