Sonny Charles Collins, born on July 5, 1971, in Bristol, Pennsylvania, passed away on September 10, 2024, in Bensalem, Pennsylvania. His presence was a beacon of joy and unity for all who knew him. Sonny's life was marked by his loving spirit, friendly demeanor, and a deep-seated faith that guided him through his days.
Sonny was the cherished son of Reita Collins and the beloved nephew to Joanne, Linda, Marietta, Neal, Clarence, Paul, and David. He was preceded in passing by his adored grandmother, Minnie Taylor, whose memory remained a guiding light in his life. Sonny's family was the nucleus of his world, and in turn, he was the heart that kept the family strongly bonded together.
A graduate of the local schools in Bristol & Philadelphia, Sonny went on to apply his technical skills as an Electronic Technician at Target in Bensalem, PA. His work was not just a job but a means to connect with others, share knowledge, and bring his infectious enthusiasm to the workplace every day. His colleagues often spoke of the positive impact Sonny had on their lives, both professionally and personally.
Beyond his professional life, Sonny was known for his passion for singing and his innate ability to entertain and uplift those around him. Whether it was a family gathering, a church event, or just an impromptu performance, Sonny's voice and spirit were a source of happiness and inspiration. His love for music was only rivaled by his commitment to his faith community at the Community Baptist Church, where he was a devoted member, often volunteering his talents for various church functions.
Sonny's life was a testament to the power of positivity and faith. Those who had the privilege of knowing him would describe Sonny as loving, friendly, and faith-filled. He had a unique ability to light up a room with his smile and to make each person he encountered feel valued and cared for. His passing leaves a void in the hearts of many, but his legacy of love and unity will continue to resonate with all who were touched by his life.
As we say goodbye to Sonny Charles Collins, we celebrate the time we had with him and the countless memories that will be cherished by his family, friends, and all who were fortunate enough to cross paths with this remarkable man. His life was a beautiful melody that resonated with love and harmony, and while the music may have paused, the echoes of his song will continue to comfort us.
A private service to honor Sonny's life will be held by his family. They invite those who knew and loved him to reflect on the joy he brought into their lives and to carry forward the spirit of kindness and unity that he exemplified. Sonny's journey on earth has concluded, but his story will be told for generations, as an example of a life well-lived and love unconditionally given.
Family and Friends are invited to Sonny's Memorial Visitation at Molden Funeral Chapel,133 Otter St, Bristol, PA., Saturday, September 28, 2024 from 10:00 -12:00 PM. Memorial Service, 12PM
