It is hard to believe that he is gone. I grew up with you too my dad Carl and Colby's dad Jerry along with his Uncle Raymond were the best of friends/1st cousins you could have. We spend many Saturday nights listening to the "Stanger Creek Band" ( Colbys dad on drums) play on different locations even in my front yard when I was 8. Or all of us camping and fishing. He was always happy and kind to all the kids laughing having a good time and just loved both of his parents with all his heart. I hadn't seen his in a few years but when he was always kind and wanted to talk. Bobbi you did a good job raising him, any Mom would of been proud. Your with you Dad now, in peace probably fishing

Colby, we all grew up together like brothers and sisters. We leaned on eachother for support when there was none, we comforted eachother through some really rough times, and we enjoyed life when it was good. You are gone now, but never forgotten. You are with our parents and their love. I miss you and love you. Peace to you and your family.
