Butch, my dearest and longest life long friend. We shared so much since our high school days and I will miss you so much my dear brother. Yes indeed, you were like a brother to me in every way. My deepest sympathy to the wonderful family you leave behind and may God Bless and comfort them at this very difficult time. I know you are at peace and will continue to look down on us from above. Love you Butch! Ron "Ronnie" Harrison

To the Family of Mr. Garrison Ravonne "Butch" Collins; The Gospel of John 1:1 - 3 (KJV) said; "Let not your heart be trouble; ye believe in God, believe also in Me. I My Father's house are many mansions; if it were not so, I would have told you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto Myself; that where I am, there I am, there ye may be also.

Butch was a very special friend of mine and my husband's. We spent years together in the Navy in Hawaii.

I am so brokenhearted! I didn't want to believe what I saw on FB.

To his family, I am so very sorry for your loss of this great man!
