Paul C. Collins

Paul C. Collins, age 52, passed away unexpectedly on Monday, February 24, 2025, at Sturdy Memorial Hospital in Attleboro, Massachusetts. Born in Norwood, Massachusetts on January 8, 1973, he was the son of the late Edward Charles and Frances (Manning) Collins.

Paul’s name in Latin means “little one”. He was the little brother and last born of the twelve Collins siblings, adored and cherished by all. He was a beautiful, happy, intelligent child, with an infectious personality who brought much joy to the Collins family. People were drawn to Paul, he had countless friends, he was intensely loyal, a kind soul and hilariously funny. His greatest achievement in life and most rewarding job was being Aiden’s Dad. He faced many challenges and obstacles but was a fierce fighter, always optimistic, and hard-working, he was not a quitter. Paul graduated from Walpole High School and was honored to serve our country as a Reservist in the United States Marine Corps. He was a longtime employee of Mike Oulton Plastering. We are heartbroken that Paul’s life was cut short, we will hold dear a lifetime of wonderful memories.
