Edward Collins Obituary

Obituary published on Legacy.com by Casper Funeral & Cremation Services on Jan. 27, 2026.
Edward J Collins died unexpectedly January 13th, 2026, was a beloved son, brother, father, uncle, grandfather, whose presence filled every room with warmth and laughter. Truly the life of the party, he had a rare gift for making everyone around him smile, often without even trying. His laughter was contagious, his humor effortless, and his spirit unforgettable.
He lived with the best of intentions and loved with sincerity and depth. Those who knew him felt his genuine care, his open heart, and his constant desire to bring joy to others. Whether through a joke, a story, or simply his presence, he had a way of making people feel seen and appreciated.
He found peace and happiness outdoors, embracing adventure and exploring all that life had to offer. He loved the beauty of nature and the freedom that came with discovering new places and experiences. His adventurous soul reflected how he lived his life-fully, passionately, and with curiosity.
Above all, he will be remembered for his kind heart, his love for his family, and the light he brought into the lives of so many. Though he may be gone, the memories, laughter, and love he shared will live on forever in the hearts of those who were lucky enough to know him.

We all miss Ed so much at Serenity Hill!! He was incredibly kind and generous to all the residents. He was always there to help their families also. He was always doing extra things to help others. He worked so hard, but always maintained his good humor. The obituary is a perfect description of how wonderful Ed was. He will always be in our hearts.
