I just want to say that Colin will be missed dearly. I got the chance to meet Colin at my work, and spent many hours talking and laughing with him. He was such a good person, and had a heart of gold. No matter how upset you were hear he would come with a smile and laughter that filled the room, always cheering someone up.
Thanks for being such a good friend Colin, and someone I could always talk to. You will forever be missed, I won't say goodbye, I'll just say *Untill We Meet Again* R.I.P :(

I didn't know Colin well, but I knew special people in his life very well and my heart goes out to his entire family. I apparently hired him as a cook many years ago and although he broke his hand and couldn't work there he told me I just remember how nice and understanding you were to me. It made me feel really good that I touched someone that had only known me for a very short time. He was very loved and he will be missed. RIP

I was lucky enough to share an apartment with Colin and Jake for some time last summer, and it was a blast. I was just one of the guys always crashing poker night! Colin was always makin me laugh. I remember one time I brought home a guitar I was going to buy and he sat there for a while and just played. He loved to just play. I hung out with Colin, Jake, and Jordan many nights, all of which are great, wonderful guys,my thoughts and prayers go out to them and their entire family.

You will be greatly missed Colin,

I have known Colin since he was in 5th grade and played football with my son Jon. Later I worked with him and his father at Vin Devers. It is a very sad and trying time, but the grace of God will be with the Fisher family as will be all of our prayers.
