Dwight McCollum Obituary

DWIGHT "GLENN" MCCOLLUM JR. May 2, 1967 - Feb. 13, 2014 Born May 2 1967 in Alameda, Ca. Died February 13, 2014 at home with his family in Paradise, Ca. after a short but brave battle with cancer. Glenn as he was known by most, was a devoted father and family man. He was a lover of nature and the outdoors. He loved to fish, hunt, camp and ride dirt bikes. He was a life long believer of "Bigfoot", his belief made all his family wonder if it might be true? All of Glenn's nature pursuits always involved his son, the apple of his eye, the joy in his heart, the greatest love of his life. Glenn leaves behind his son Zachary 7, Zachary's mom Mary Kolonay, his parents Dwight and Johnell McCollum, His brother Mark and sister-in-law Elizabeth and nephews Mark Jr. and Tyler. His Aunt Jan Peeks And his loyal dog Mule. All from Paradise, Ca. He also leaves behind many aunts, uncles, cousins and friends. A private family gathering is planned for a later date. His family is forever grateful to Enloe Hospice for helping us care for and say goodbye to our dearest Glenn.
