Colson Myers was a vibrant 14 year old who lit up every room with his warm smile and genuine kindness. He was always happy; someone who brought positivity wherever he went. Colson deeply loved his friends and family and had a special bond with his beloved dog, Cooper, who was never far from his side.

In his first year of high school, Colson had a part-time job in town and spent his free time doing what he loved most; playing hockey, baseball, golfing, hunting, and fishing. He was adventurous, compassionate, and full of life, with a heart far bigger than his years.

On Wednesday, April 22, Colson suffered a tragic accident and he was taken from us far too soon.

Our community is hurting and processing this devastating loss. In true small town fashion, so many individuals and organizations have pulled together in different ways to help the family suffering with this loss.
