Colson Barlow Obituary
Colson was a Mighty Warrior who faced Stage 4 Chronic Kidney Disease, Wolf-Hirschhorn Syndrome, and Trisomy 4P with incredible strength and grace. Throughout his short, but deeply meaningful life, his family witnessed countless miracles. Time after time, when doctors delivered impossible news, Colson defied the odds and continued to show the power of faith, love and resilience.
His life touched the hearts of all who knew him, and his legacy will continue through the love and hope he inspired. The family would like to extend their heartfelt gratitude to the many family members, friends, and prayer warriors who have supported and encouraged them throughout Colson's journey.
The family will receive friends at 12:00 pm, followed by a Celebration of Colson's life at 2:00 pm on, Saturday, November 22,2025 at Compass Christian Church, 8137 Liberty Circle, Mechanicville, VA 23111.
