I remember Collin waiting at the bus stop in shorts and a short sleeved button down shirt on a cold winters morning (6:30 am - He was at my 1st stop) and I would say, "Aren't you cold?' and he would laugh, say "no, but thanks for warming up the bus." I am so sorry for your loss. Please know that you are all in my prayers. High School Bus Driver - Bus 8.

Although we do not know you or your family, our thoughts and prayers are very much with you all. Frankie thought a lot of you, Mike, and I know he would have been at the celebration of your son Collin. I remember his glow in his eyes as he came home from work and talked about his day and the wonderful people he met at Lucent. Again, he really thought a lot of you and your style he really enjoyed. He wished he could have worked with you more often. He will be there looking over all of you and taking Collins hand as he crosses over. There is no words that can make things any easier for all of you, but faith in our own way has helped us "somewhat". If you ever need to talk with someone that has walked the path that you are about to walk, please call either Frank or Karen. 603-888-7842.

"Mr. Young", as I used to call him, was probably one of the most authentic, well-rounded,insightful, passionate, smart, and outspoken students I have ever had. He was a loyal friend to his friends, full of dreams, and potential. He will be missed.I will always remember his smile and his voice. My deepest sympathy to his family.Rest in peace, Collin.

Collin, As friends of your grandparents we knew your father when he was your age. He was always cheerful and happy with his music. I am sure you did him proud as a son. You had a family that was always there for you. You had a dream to join the Air Force - though it didn't get a chance to happen, may you soar on angels' wings forever.

Sweet Collin, Words can not express how much everyone misses you. You knew how to make everyone smile and always made sure everyone was having a good time. I hope your looking down and guiding us in the right direction. It doesn't seem real that so many of us saw you on your last night. I remember playing that Polish Horseshoes game and I was so bad! I kept throwing it without even trying and made you or steph run to get the frisbee everytime. Everytime I see and beautiful sunset I always think its you, shining down from heaven, letting us know that your here with us in spirit. God has truly gained an angel and everyone here has gained a loyal guardian angel from heaven. We love you Collin, miss you bud.

To Collin's family and close friends, Collin was a great person as well as a friend with a good sense of humor and amazing musician. I'm so sorry to hear about your loss, I wish I could make it home to say my final good-bye (I'm in Missouri) but I will not be able to. God Bless.

Our deepest sympathies to your family. We knew him briefly and saw him on Saturdays for breakfast, well lunch really. He always had a smile on his face and a laugh ready. He will be missed.

Mike and Family, My deepest sympathy on the loss of your loved one. My prayers are with you. Ralph T. DeAngelo Alcatel-Lucent

Dear Young Family: I was quite saddened to hear of Collin's passing on Sunday, please accept my condolences. I first met Collin at Hanson Middle School when I worked there in the library and the one thing that struck me right away about Collin was his infectious smile and kind personality. I was lucky enough to see him again in the hallways of Whitman-Hanson high, again to be greeted with that great smile and a friendly "Hi Mrs. Sears". Collin will be missed by all who knew him. Keeping you in thoughts and prayers. With sympathy, Ginny Sears

Our hearts go out to you and your family.

Collin made English classes fun to teach. He was always smiling and willing to help make classroom life run smoothly. Collin brought beauty and light to the world, I am deeply saddened that his time was cut short. The world is a better place because Collin was a part of it. He will be sorely missed.
