Jack Collins Obituary

Collins, Jack Douglas

Jack Douglas Collins of Dayton Ohio passed December 8, 2024 at 70 years following a long illness. He was born in Nitro WV and attended Trotwood Madison and Ohio University. Jack's employment was in the construction trades and he had many skills for any size task, either for hire or as a volunteer. Jack went hunting, fishing, or on many road trips for outdoors adventure. His humor and wit will be long remembered. Love of Zappa and Dolly are samples of his diverse tastes. He is survived by his sister Debra DeBeers, brother Clyde, and sister-in-law Cody Collins. A private remembrance will be held but he wished friends to remember good times and raise a toast.
