Colin was one of the most affectionate and caring individuals I have ever had the pleasure of knowing. He could pick up on someone's emotions with just a look and could comfort even a stranger with just his presence as he knew the importance of just "being there".Some of my best memories with Colin are at the beach sunbathing and catching crabs, or in the kitchen cooking a big dinner. He would often surprise me with his amazing cooking skills and special recipes,he made the best risotto and could fry up some chicken like no other. Often times if I were reading a book and my eyes got tired Colin would sit on the couch and read aloud to me as he knew I couldn't wait to get to the next chapter. The time I got to spend with him and the love I got to experience in Colin's life will always be invaluable .I will always love and miss my special guy , especially his overwhelmingly big heart, gentle hands and gut busting sense of humor. My heart will always be his.

Colin, you were the most polite guest at my house when I lived in Worcester, but you really won my favor the night we all got locked out and you parkour climbed up to the second floor window and let us back in. I'm so glad for all the times I ditched Kristen to chill at your place, as much as you were sick of hearing about her lol. We talked about death a lot as if it were just around the corner, but I was not ready for this. I'm sorry I couldn't stay longer the last time I saw you. Miss you Dr. Jones, you were my brother. The killing moon came too soon, Todd was here, but I don't care about the Mayor, he's boring! I'd break my nose for one more day at the Days Inn See you around someday and we can chill as long as you want. Strife4Life

Aunty Anna & Uncle Paul: My heartfelt love and sympathy is with you during this sorrowful time. Colin will be greatly missed by many and his memory will live on in our hearts. We can take some comfort in knowing that he rests peacefully with Nana and Grandpa now. Love to you all.

Colin was one in a million—his integrity and view of how life was hard to defeat; he saw things for what they truly were and made no excuses for standing up for good, fairness and truth. Colin examined people and studied behaviors that allowed his decisions to be acted upon. He defended kindness and challenged atrocities. I was blessed in that we could disagree and still have love for one another; that hardly happens anymore. Life will not be the same without him. I miss him terribly and am sad that he is not reachable by phone. I will see you in future my friend. Rest in the arms of the Eternal One dear Colin, you’ve earned and reached newer and greater heights! Be blessed. Aunty Joanne.

His being and spirit was incomparable and authentic to the core. My brother from another mother but was the only one to open my mind and heart in its own way. You are gone but never ever forgotten about! You live on by our side giving us more than memories and words of a true friend. One love, peace out, may we see each other on the other side I wish. Support and love is only the beginning my brother and family all over.

We would all spend our summer days on Duxbury Beach and one thing I remember about Colin was he always had to bring home a “treasure”, whether it was a piece of driftwood or a lobster trap he always managed to get it into the car. Thinking of you always Auntie Anna and Uncle Paul, May Colin Rest In Peace. He will not be forgotten ??

Colin was my dear cousin and we always had such good summers together going to Duxbury beach. I loved how silly and goofy we could be together buying matching crazy sunglasses with our last $20 and building massive sand castles. I look forward to the day he welcomes me into heaven with grammie and papa and all our other loved ones. It is such a comfort to me knowing he is currently experiencing joy to the fullest. But until we meet again, he will be dearly missed and always remembered in all our cherished memories. I love you uncle paul and auntie anna I’m constantly praying for you xo

Colin was such an amazing, warm and unique soul. He had a heart of gold and always knew how to uplift someone who was hurting. I'll never forget hiking and playing random word games with all of our friends. He always knew the coolest nature spots and The game "do you wanna buy a duck?" Always makes me chuckle when I look back at it. You are so loved and missed my friend I can only hope that you see that now

Anna, I'm so sorry about the loss of Collin. This is a great photo and life about him. I feel honored that you trusted me taking care of Ginger in her final years. A couple times Collin stopped by the house to visit with her. Collin was a gift of God and he is in a safe, happy place now. Love, Elaine and Madison

Dearest Anna, I was heartbroken to hear of the loss of your son Colin. I can’t begin to know the pain you are feeling, but please know that my love, thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. I pray for your peace and healing as Colin is welcomed into God’s loving arms.

I remember Colin’s warm and loving spirit as a child. He was so curious and had a big sense of humor. My heart is with Auntie Anna and Uncle Paul as they navigate the difficult passing of their son. May uplifting memories of him bring faith that he is at peace with his angels and in a loving place with god. Colin’s smile was contagious and I will remember times spent with him during our summers in Boston. He was a bright and unique character that will always be remembered. Love, cousin Kimberly

Its hard for me to put into words how Colins passing has effected me, but I try and remember the good times we had at duxbury beach, the jokes we had with one another as kids, and playing video games together whenever he would come over. I love you Colin, we miss you so much.

It is a time like this that family is so important. Memories are so important. Colin changed addresses on us too suddenly and too soon. Now we seek answers and companionship from those closest to us. Just last summer I met Colin for the first time, on the Cape, at his good friend Nicole’s house. Overlooking the gray Atlantic, Colin came driving up in his red convertible on that sunny summer afternoon. He was joining a gaggle of women, including his mom, Anna, and his many aunts. We had some fun meals at local haunts, hung out on the deck on those lazy summer days enjoying afternoon cocktails. Colin would wonder away for a cigarette break and we missed him even for those short breaks. Colin, you have gone too soon from us and we don’t know how long this break from us will be, but we look forward to joining you soon, at your new address, with our Lord.

Dear Paul and Anna, Our hearts are broken for you over the loss of Colin! I have been looking at some old photos and you were the most loving of parents. It is obvious to me he could not have been more loved. It so sad as a family to lose him and so young. I will keep my memories of him close to my heart. My thoughts and prayers are with you both. Love, Ellen

Sorry for your loss. I did not know Colin, but I live here in the apartments and I have seen him around. Hope you can find the strength to get thru this difficult time. Blessings.

So sad to hear of Colin's passing. He was a part of our family for the years he lived next to us. He felt comfortable enough to come over and just be apart of anything we had going on. It was like he had five brothers living next door. If we had a fire all of a sudden we'd notice he had joined the circle. We enjoyed his artwork and sudden changes in hair style. He taught me to text when it first became popular. Looking at his picture brings up fond memories of swimming, orienteering, and the couple years we homeschooled together. We will miss him.

Anna and Paul, I wanted to present my deep condolences to Colin’s Mom and Dad (my identical twin brother), in the recent loss of their dear son from this world. Who can expect such unexpected events as this to happen to those young ones among us in our families. I suggest in this case with Colin, to help Anna and Paul to bear up under such a loss as this, is to know that Colin is now in heaven in the loving presence of the angels and of God Almighty, and our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Colin , unlike us, is now undoubtedly up there, living with God, saved from the threats present in this world. I know this to be true, having observed Colin voluntarily commit his heart and life to our Savior Jesus Christ when he was a teenager attending a family Sunday church service with my family and his Mom and Dad. I can now envision with certainty a young and handsome Colin enjoying fellowship now in paradise with those friends and family who have passed there before us. I can also picture him enjoying the best music ever with the hosts, and all the food available at the banquet celebrating his arrival. And I wonder how he is enjoying now living forever in the mansion which God prepared just for him. I had the opportunity many years ago to personally interact one-on-one with Colin in a series of meetings we had in which we discussed Colin’s own dreams, desires and aspirations. Even though for him these were cut short, I know for sure, he is now way better off than we who are stuck in this world. In those 12 meetings I had with Colin, I got to know him in a deep and tender way. I saw what a beautiful and deep thinking child and developing man he was, how he wanted the best in life for himself and others. I was truly blessed to have had that unique opportunity to get to know the real and sensitive person he really was. All of this in no way can replace for Anna and Paul the sense of loss they must endure from such an event. However, I and my family do join them in bearing up under all of this, knowing that God sticks close to us under all circumstances, this is certainly not the end, and we will all see Colin again.

Colin was such a bright, inquisitive young man who was gifted as an artist. He loved to sketch drawings, listen to music, and was always interested in finding out what was new in your life. I remember him knocking on my back door for a missing ingredient to add to his cooking projects-he was also a great cook, but I never got to try what he was making. We will always remember him as someone who had a smile to share. He was very loved by Anna and Paul and we will celebrate the time we had together.

Colin, I loved our fun times together, all the way back to when you were a kid and I was so happy to get to babysit you. You were wild and precious and sweet and beautiful with all that light blonde hair. Hearing your voice on the phone long distance always felt like home. My heart aches for Aunty Anna and Uncle Paul. I will forever remember your smile

Anna and Paul, My heart goes out to you. I still can't wrap my mind around that he's gone. Hope you're doing well. Wanted to share a couple memories that came to mind. 1) I loved how Collin could create games to play on the fly. We loved to play magic cards and this video game called Champions of Norrath. One time he created a monopoly like board game off of a sheet of blank paper - coming up with and drawing out the rules and structure of the game. I thought that was so cool. 2) The bike rides we'd go on. I remember one time we were riding down Orchard rd. and a bird hit Collin. If I can remember correctly, he though it died and went to make sure it was ok and it flew off. haha I don't know why that comes to mind... 3) He nicknamed me Cool Man. I definitely wasn't the coolest kid in the neighborhood but he made me feel special. Even years after we stopped hanging out he would call me that. If other memories come to mind I'll share them :) Hope you have a restful weekend, Josh
