Colton was very active in on-line gaming and enjoyed classic video games with his best friends, reading both historical fiction and non-fiction, and loved History as a whole. He enjoyed spending time with family and was looking forward to being a history teacher. He knew everything there was about any type of history and what he did not know he would research and learn more about. He was well loved by everyone he met, and his parents were constantly being told what a fine young man he was. He was compassionate, caring, helpful, hard working and had a great sense of humor. He was always very aware when someone was having a difficult day, or if something were wrong, and would do his best to cheer that person up or just listen to them quietly and try to make their day better. We all loved him very much and will miss him dearly.
