Not sure what to say?

He was missed at Alight, even though he only worked there a short time. Colin had a happy disposition and a good work ethic.

thoughts and prayers with you all

Collin was a constant source of support and joy for me over the past five years. He was a dear friend, my first in Atlanta when I moved away from home. He helped me through my most difficult times and was always there to lend a hug, have a great conversation, and make me laugh. He was truly one of the best friends I could have asked for. I am grieving for his loss, but hope that he finds eternal peace. Love you Collin. Always.

I met Collin our Freshmen year at Emory, but it wasnt until our senior year that I got to know him. For 3 years we happily greeted each other in passing, and we decided our senior year that it was finally time to sit down and have a chat. One coffee turned into 4 hours of chatting about life, our goals and ambitions, and our intellectual curiosities. We continued to gather a few times throughout our senior year, and each time I left feeling happier and fuller than I started out because he was...

I regret to say that I didnt know Collin extremely well but I can remember many days after school where we would ride the bus home together. I always admired his love of card tricks and his incredible wit, but most of all I will miss the way that he would always find a way to make you laugh. Rest In Peace Collin.

I met Collin through the Emory Scholars Program. He helped me apply to be a Scholar Fellow, offered much wisdom and interesting conversations about math, poetry and life in coffee breaks and dinners. Thank you for offering great laughs over the hardest parts of our jobs and making it easier and brighter. You will be dearly missed, friend. I will keep reading the poems that you sent.

Our love, thoughts and prayers are sent to Collin's family and friends. He will be missed by all who were blessed to have known him.

I am going to miss Collin and am so sad to hear of his passing. I first met Collin when he signed up for the Chemistry Department's summer study abroad program in Italy. It was 2015 and there were twelve students. I knew a few of the students prior to going but had never met Collin. After spending a summer with Collin, I will never forget him. Collin was a force both inside and outside the classroom.

My family and I returned to Siena with another group of Emory undergraduates...

I only know Colin for two very short weeks but we had a great time. Good discussions, good beer some Workday and a little more beer! Two weeks were not enough but I guess that was my allotted time. I can not find the words I would like to put here (I am sure Colin could) so I will just say that my thoughts are with him and him family at such a sad time and I will remember the few good times we had.
