From the time Colt could walk he had a passion for anything with wheels and fishing. Once the training wheels were off, nothing could slow him down. He had a smile that could light up a room. His enthusiasm for life was contagious. Colt took Jesus into his heart at a young age and lived a good life. Losing Colt is heartbreaking, but knowing he accepted Jesus offers us immense comfort. It means his life was not cut short, but rather completed in God’s perfect timing. We know Colt has “Gone riding with the angels.”
