Keith "Skip" Collens

Skip is lovingly remembered by his sisters Pat (Al) Manuel and Judy Lemke. He is predeceased by his father, Reg (Bessie) Collens and his mother, Edna Collens. He was also a proud uncle of his four nieces and nephews, Krista Manuel; Jaime (Nilton) Raposo; Lisa (LaRae) Kersey; Derek Lemke and will be greatly missed by all of them and their families.

Skip lived his entire life in Cambridge and was well known and loved in his community. He was a life-long active member of the Galt-Cambridge Lion’s Club, and a community volunteer and advocate for many local charitable organizations including the local food bank. Skip was also an active member of the Avenue Rd. Baptist Church where he served and attended faithfully.

Skip will be deeply missed and forever remembered by countless others whose lives he touched. His family would like to thank the staff at Cambridge Memorial Hospital for their tremendous care, compassion and support.

A Celebration of Life for Skip Collens is being held at Avenue Road Baptist Church in Cambridge on Saturday, May 23rd 2026 at 1:30 PM.
