It is with heavy hearts that we announce the sudden passing at home of Colin at the age of 28, on September 3rd.

RIP Colin.
I have so many wonderful memories of you and my boys together that I cherish. There’s also one I hold dear when you came to visit us a few years ago and I was aware of how loving and sweet you were to your mom. I see you that day in my minds eye clearly with your arms around her happy and joking with her.
Jim and Joan: Like everyone who knew Colin, we feel his loss so deeply. We hope you can take comfort from knowing how special he was and the amount of people he touched and that he is alive in our memories especially those he created during his time in Scouting.
Jim and Joan, my thoughts and prayers are with you during this very sad time of saying goodbye Tom colin. I have fond memories of Colin as a little beaver when I was “Bubbles” of the leadership team. I will always remember his lovely smile and playfulness.
Rest In Peace Colin,
I will always remember the memories we shared throughout our childhood together. You were a great cousin and friend and I wish you all the best on this next journey. May you be with us in spirit always, lots of love.
Rest in peace Colin. Our hearts go out to you Jim, Joan and family. Death is a part of life that we dread but can’t avoid. In this time of grief we hope you find comfort. Barry, Kath, Katie and family. Cornwall, England. X
I normally subscribe to the concept that the past is best left in the past. Recently with our friend Colin’s passing I have reconsidered this notion.
I’ve allowed my thoughts to drift to my memories of Colin. Of the fun loving friendly guy we all grew up with. The laughs we shared. The hard times we helped each other through. The times we didn’t. Mixed bag though it was. As most relationships are when we look back at them. I’d never have traded our friendship or time together for the world.
My only regret as is with most of us, is that there wasn’t more time. Our time is only fleeting. And if we don’t take time, to make time, than we will never find time. So remember time is the most valuable resource in our life. So don’t forget to share some of that time with those that matter.
Go reconnect with someone. Help someone out with their daily grind. You can never get time back so spend it wisely. Live without regrets.
