Many thoughts and prayers are going up for ALL of you. Colby was a super special guy and 1/2 of the dynamic duo twins I grew to love so much over the years. I really have no words for the pain, but I do hope you can draw some comfort & peace from knowing where he is now and how very well thought of he was as a young man. He lived life to the fullest! I’ll always treasure the memories- mischief, strength, patriotic, fun, kind, and a whole lot of ballgames! We love you all.
