In loving memory of Willie J. Collins Jr., 72 years old, whose kindness and warmth touched everyone he met. Though he is no longer with us, his spirit will live on in our hearts and memories we have of him. May we find comfort in the enduring light he brought into our lives and cherish the moments he has shared with each and every one of us. Willie was one of a kind with a big heart. He's no longer suffering or in pain; he's now resting.

Willie is survived by his ex-wife Sheri Richardson and his 8 kids: Lynn Tharp and her husband Dutch Tharp, Carrie Collins, Beth Collins, Christopher Collins, Anna Collins, Caleb Collins, Brian Collins, and Willie J. Collins III. He is preceded in death by his ex-wife Rebecca Ludwig.

Willie's family is asking for help as this all happened way too fast. They also stated you are more than welcome to walk into the Winters Funeral Home and give donations like that as well, but whatever you can donate, they greatly appreciate.

Matthew 11:28-30 (NLT): "Come to me, all of you who are weary and carry heavy burdens, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you. Let me teach you, because I am humble and gentle at heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy to bear, and the burden I give you is light."
