Justin and Kathy I just heard about Collins passing this morning. I am heartbroken for you and your family. You probably remember that I was Collin’s kindergarten teacher. It seems like such a long time ago but not really. He was such a cute, talkative, hard working, kinderbear. He learned so much that year including that Jesus was his friend and wanted to be his Savior. I trust God is holding him closely with arms full of love and forgiveness. 
God is near as you walk through this very difficult valley. With warmest sympathies, Sue Lamp

There are no words to express the shock of this news.  I have so many fond memories of Collin from being a room mom at TFA.  He always had a smile and such a witty mind.  I can’t imagine what the family is going through  with this devastating loss.  My heart aches for the entire family and I pray the Lord lifts you up from the depths of despair.  Love and prayers to the family, Mark, Season, Jordan and Milan Rutecki 

Collin was the cutest, sweet little boy with a twinkle in his eye. I feel blessed to have had such a good friend for my son Alex to grow up with. Kathy and Justin thank you for all the times Alex spent with your family and for the times Collin was able to spend with our family throughout the years. To the Reeps, thank you also for loving on Alex as Collin’s friend. I hope that your memories of all the great moments in Collin’s life help you all through this very tough journey. May God continue to hold you in his arms and comfort you. Much love, Meagan

Our condolences to the family for the loss of a son,grandson,  nephew  & friend to many. Collin will be missed and forever will live in everyones  hearts .I know Joy has always been very fond of her nephew and will miss him. Heartful sympathy to all as now Collin is in the hands of god.

Sincerely
Maria & Chuck Kazaros

Whether from the first time we met or the last time we spoke, I always saw how strong of a personality you had. You had an aura about you that could been seen by those around you which resembled a sureness of yourself and could easily tell those around you which lacked the same. I know there was plenty which you had in mind for yourself and that those plans were ever-growing. Rest well Collin, those who knew you will remember the times we spent together with fondness.
