To the Collier family, Donna & their children - it made me sad to read that Moe is gone. Something made me think about him tonight, & I Googled him purely out of curiousity as to what he'd been up to. I can't express the shock I felt. I met him just prior to his heading off to Kent State. He was larger than life, outgoing, always smiling. I never laughed so much in my life. What a gift, & comfort, our memories are. I'm so very sorry for you all.

I just found out today about Mo's passing. My deepest condolences and sympathy to all of his family and those that knew him. I was blessed to spend some years with Mo in Lima. I can honestly say he helped save my life, and many others who were blessed to cross his path. We have lost touch over past years but our mutual friends in recovery would give me updates. I fully regret not being able to be at his funeral services, my deepest appologies to all his loved ones. I am a better man for knowing him and it's a good feeling knowing he's up above. Just want to Thank Him for being the friend he was, good times and bad, I will never forget Mo Collier.

Sweetheart it is so hard to move on day to day without your physical being present. I know that you will always be with us in spirit. You were my soulmate. We share a lot of memories together. You always made me and the kids feel safe. I miss you so much sweetheart I would give anything just to hear your voice again or to see you do one of your crazy dance moves or crack a joke. You were very dear to me sweetheart. Thank you for giving me such beautiful children they all possess your intelligence and great looks. The children still want the turtles you promised them. Don't worry I will get them for them. I will always remind the girls of who their father was. RIP sweetheart, be free, no more pain baby! I love & miss you. Until we see each other again. Forever yours, Donna & The girls. We love you.

I first met Mo when my son was struggling with drug addiction. Mo was with us at the beginning of our long battle. My son is now 7 years sober and I know that Mo played a big part in saving his life. I will forever be grateful to Mo for his kindness, compassion, & humor. My heart goes out to his entire family.

Mo, my Hero, my friend. When I got the news last night my heart literally broke. You saved my life. I remember the day we meant and I was so lost and struggling to get sober....well Mo I am 9 years sober today and I can't call you but I know you see me. Thanks to GOD, YOU, & ME. I will never forget the argument we had about being friends. You told me " guys and girls couldn't just be friends" and about 4 years later you realized I was your TRUE FRIEND...and I was right.....very hard for you to admit, LOLOL... Anyone who knows you knows you were never wrong ( yeah right) goofball... haha ..As I laugh through my tears and think of all the fun times we had and how I watched princess grow and became good friends with Donna it's almost too much too take. Please say hi to my cousin Ian if you haven't already and watch over Donna, Cameron who I know you Loved so much, and those 3 little BEAUTIFUL GIRLS....ESPECIALLY PRINCESS MO.....she was your baby girl and will always remember you....I love you always.... Thank you for all you did for me....my mom is forever grateful as am I. ...you were so talented.....be free now my friend..with no pain...until we meet again MY Hero, MY FRIEND. --X♡X♡--Sunni
