Justin Colbert Obituary

March 14, 1990-August 21, 2014 Justin Walter Colbert, 24, of Lake Stevens, Wash., born March 14, 1990, passed away tragically on August 21, 2014. He is survived by his wife, Daniella (Peña) Colbert of Lake Stevens; parents, Pamela Colbert of Lake Stevens and Steve and Cheryl Colbert of Lake Stevens; grandparents, William "Bill" Sr. and Donna Dettrich of Lake Steven and Brenda Colbert of Federal Way, Wash.; sister, Tairyn Colbert of Lake Stevens; brother, Stephen Colbert, II of Everett, Wash.; sister, Megan Hudson of Lake Stevens; brother, Devin Hudson of Arlington; in-laws, Michael and Kimberly Peña of Lake Stevens; niece, Piper Colbert of Everett; and nephew, Ryder Hudson of Arlington; great-grandfather, Gordon Holbrook of Green Valley, Ariz.; and numerous aunts, uncles, cousins, and friends. Justin is preceded in death by his cousin, Julius (Joey) Dettrich (25) of Arlington, Wash.; grandparents, Randall Colbert of Cle Elem, Wash. and Marilyn Colbert of Marysville, Wash.; and great- grandmother, Dolores Holbrook of Green Valley, Arizona. Justin attended Lake Stevens High School and graduated in 2008. He was enrolled at Everett Community College in the Aerospace Machinist Mechanic program while working at Safeway in Lake Stevens. He loved to play and watch all sports. His main passion though was the Seattle Seahawks and football (live and fantasy). Justin was a kind, outgoing, friendly and witty person. You knew when Justin was in the room because he made sure to give everyone a huge hug. Justin always knew just what to say to keep people laughing. He loved his family, his many friends, and his two dogs, Hannah and Fawkes. In addition to his love of making videos and reading endlessly, Justin enjoyed writing. A celebration of his life will be held at the Lake Stevens High School Performing Arts Center in Lake Stevens, WA on Saturday, September 20, 2014 at 2 p.m. The family requests that you wear a Seahawk football hat, shirt or other Seahawk attire. Donations in lieu of flowers may be made to PAWS (http://www.paws.org) or NOAH (http://thenoahcenter.org).

I am so blessed to call you my son. Although we only had 24 short years together, you tought me so many things. What I value more than anything is how you filled my heart with a type of love for which I can't put into words. The tears that fill my eyes and roll down my cheeks are not all in sorrow...they may be tears you created by making me laugh so hard.
I love you, baby boy. Until see you again, wrap your wings around Joey and let him know how much the two of you are missed.
- Love, Mom

Justin, you are loved by so, so, so many. Your smile lit up a room and you made people laugh, which is a gift. You are missed and loved beyond what words can say.
I love you.
