Lindsey Collett Obituary
Lindsey Ray Collett, a lifelong resident of Reading, Ohio, passed away at his home on October 7, 2025 at the age of 67. Preceded in death by his beloved wife of 31 years, Susan (Weinhart) Collett; parents, Robbie (Marshall) Slavey and Linza (Gay) Collett; mother and father-in-law, June and Dale Weinhart.
Survived by his daughter, Kristen (Jenna) Osborn; loving brother to Vicki (Randy) Strole, Dwayne (Susan) Slavey, and Valerie (Dickie) Giles; brother-in-law to Mike (Brenda) Weinhart. Special uncle to his nieces and nephews, dear friend to many, and a cherished companion to his dog, Brody.
Lindsey graduated from Reading High School Class of 1976 and served as a cadet, beginning his dedicated career of 31 years with Reading Fire Department where he retired as a Lieutenant Firefighter Paramedic. He studied Fire Science at the University of Cincinnati. Following retirement, he continued his interests in medical science serving in positions with UC Physicians and Children's Hospital.
Through the years, Lindsey enjoyed woodworking, hunting, fishing, and cooking. His potato salad became a frequent request for gatherings. We have been blessed by Lindsey’s caring heart for others, his life of service, and will deeply miss his hysterical and loving presence.

Lindsey we are grateful to have been your cousin and friend. You were always there for us in good times and in times of need. Words cannot express how you uplifted Dad after mom passed. Your visits and calls got him through the saddest of days.
When our beloved Uncle Ralph suffered through what seemed like an eternity of pain before joining his Heavenly Father, you put all of the goodness and energy within you to be there for the Gilbert and Ellis families. We will always remember the heartfelt words you spoke at his funeral.
I could not count the number of joyous occasions you took part in with our family. Birthdays, retirements, Weddings and anniversaries, just to name a few. You will always be remembered, respected and loved by us.
God is good, he is with you and Susan.
We love and miss you both,
Mark and Sharon

I have known Lindsey my entire career. First at Reading Fire and then at Cincinnati Fire. He was the most dedicated person I have known. I learned a lot throughout the years from Lindsey and his passing is a great loss to the EMS service. Prayers to the family and God Speed to Lindsey.
