Family and friends, you have my sincere sympathy; Johnny will be missed. It was always a pleasant surprise to run across and talk to JC during my visits home. I pray that you look to the Lord and Savior Jesus Christ during this time of loss.

I'm so sorry I never got to meet John Collins. I have heard so much about him, and it sounds like everyone I know in the horseshoeing world considered him one of the best--at his job and as a person. I am trying to write an obituary of him and I don't think I can ever do him justice, but I hope that reading about him will inspire others to stop and think about all the good that horses and people can do...especially when they do it together.
