Colin was a great friend to me.
He had a big heart,
And I am going to miss him deeply.
My God rest his soul,
Amen
Colin you were the brightest light in the room and always made us laugh. May you be pain free and laughing in heaven. Although we didn't see each other often, we have great memories of time spent through the years. You will be missed. We love you.
Karen, Todd and family
Growing up, Colin was a favorite cousin, always friendly and lots of fun. He had such a good heart. Although John and I are unable to attend the service in person, we will be there in spirit.
Sending love,
John and Margaret (McDonald) Petrie
Colin, we were connected by our family name Kelly - our parents would send pictures growing up, so you were always in my life, we only met twice but that was enough, you were a force of nature, - you made me laugh, gave me my nickname of SK2 (Scottish Kelly 2) while you were K2 (Kelly 2) I said you should be AK2 (American Kelly 2) - you said - - Its my game and I make the rules............ we did laugh. Our last visit with you was wonderful, getting to meet as grown ups was so much more productive than the teenage angst years. My daughter, Carrie, just clicked with you and talks about you a lot. I will miss the random facebook messages, always when I least expected them, and most of all will miss the world with you in it.
Rest Easy Colin, till we meet again.
A small poem from Rabbie Burns - Scotland's National Bard - and just sums you up xxxx
An honest man here lies at rest,
The friend of man, the friend of truth,
The friend of age, the guide of youth;
Few hearts like his, with virtue warm’d,
Few heads with knowledge so inform’d;
If there’s another world, he lives in bliss;
If there is none, he made the best of this
