Colin Marma Obituary
Publish in a newspaper
Colin was born on November 3, 1997, with his twin brother, Quinn, each under three pounds, at Vassar Hospital in Poughkeepsie, NY, the son of Kenneth Marma and Jeanne-Marie Fleming. He grew up in Poughquag, NY.
In his youth, Colin played football, basketball, and lacrosse; he held many fond memories of his teammates and coaches. Colin graduated from Arlington High School and attended SUNY Oneonta, where he was a member of the Beta Chi Fraternity. Colin had a passion for nature and the outdoors. He was an avid hiker and snowboarder. He was a lover of music, both as a consumer and a brilliant creator. He was a deep thinker and an astute observer of human nature who appreciated life's blessings, especially family and friends. We believe he is at peace and with God and we ask that you listen to a favorite song today and send him a smile.
He is survived by his mother, Jeanne-Marie Fleming; his stepfather, Roland Heitmann; his father, Kenneth Marma, and his partner, Lori White; his maternal grandmother, Dorothy Fleming; and his paternal grandfather, Albert Marma. Colin is also survived by his twin brother Quinn Marma, brother Dylan Marma, two stepsisters Anna and her husband Roberto Maldonado and Coco Heitmann, and nephew Anthony, along with many loved aunts, uncles, cousins, and friends.
Colin is preceded in death by his grandfather, Edward Fleming, grandmother, Carolyn Marma, Aunt Diane, and good friend, Jon Velardo.
