John Collis "Jay" Collins

Our hearts break and ache everyday as we think about you all and your family in the loss of Jay. It has to be so hard. My mother buried both her sons (my brothers) at the ages of 55 and 61. She use to say quite often that no parent expects to or should have to bury a child. As time passes the pain may get better, but I am not sure you ever get over it. Our prayer is that God will be with you and yours as you mourn and begin to heal. May he give you peace. Love, Karen & Jerry Archer

My dearest friend, Joye, We are heartbroken to hear of the loss of your precious son. There are no words, please know that we love you and will keep you close always. Rebecca and George

My Dear Friend Jay! I Love You! You will Forever be in my heart! Travel well my friend. Hallelujah!

Jay, My Dear Friend! for so many years! Glory to God! you will forever shine on in my heart, Journey well, my dear friend. Hallelujah!

Thank you for your love and friendship. Rest well, say hello to Matt

JC and Rennie and family send our deepest sympathy. Jay was the 'hero' of the All cousins, being the oldest. Jaime, Adam and Creighton will miss stopping by Mt. Pleasant Seafood for a visit and the day's catch. Joy and Woody, we can't imagine the loss you feel. Know that many prayers are being lifted for you to find peace knowing Jay will fish the the mighty fishermen of Jesus. Rennie and JC All

Dear Woody , Joye, Key and family, I am very sorry to hear of Jay's passing. Please know that you are in my thoughts and prayers. I pray that God will surround you with His steadfast love and give you peace and comfort during this difficult time. Remember that Jay may not be present in the world today but will always remain in your heart. With love, condolences, and prayers. Lynda Angelakos

I am so sorry to hear the news about Jay! Our son, Matt, worked with Jay at Mount Pleasant Seafood and Matt adored him. Jay was a good friend to Matt. After we lost Matt, Jay was ways so caring to Larry and I. He would always come out to speak to us when we were in the store. I will miss seeing him there. He was a good man. My prayers are with you all!

So sorry to hear this news, Key and Ashley. Praying for your strength in mourning a wonderful guy! Hugs, Becky, Ohio xooxox
