Jeanne Quinn here. It is with a heavy heart I write to tell you of the sudden and tragic death of my Great Nephew, Colby Smith, in Charlotte, NC.

Colby was just entering the prime of his life at just eighteen years of age. Colby’s eyes and mind were wide open to all people. He loved and cared for all that came in his path. Friends unlimited as he turned no one down that he encountered as one he could love and embrace. His love will continue in spirit and fill ours hearts. He lived within God’s words from Romans 8:18 and we know the glory and blessings are full in his life and our pain will pass knowing we will be with him again in God’s kingdom. The family is devastated at his loss and will miss him dearly. There are no words to describe this very painful time for the family.

As funeral arrangements are made to reflect who Colby was and how much he was loved, we have created this GoFundMe Page for those that want to help cover associated costs.

Any contributions, no matter the size, would mean much to the family. Thank you.
