In loving memory of Collin Little, who touched the lives of so many people with his kindness and spirit. Unfortunately Collin passed away unexpectedly this morning, leaving behind family and friends who will miss him deeply. We are raising funds to help cover funeral expenses and support his family in this difficult time. Any contribution, no matter the size will help ease the financial burden and allow us to honor Collin’s memory with the dignity he deserves.

Collin has lived a very happy life with the short amount of time he was here.

He was put on hospice a couple weeks ago and they told them he had 4 months to a year to live in their best estimation. He was found by his mom. Collin was diagnosed with Dubowitz Syndrome as a young child. As he grew it became apparent that he also had Neurophibromatosis Type 2 which caused cancerous tumors to grow along nerve endings mostly in his brain and spinal cord. Over the years he’d had numerous surgeries to remove tumors and/or parts of tumors. He also suffered through chemotherapy and radiation. Some tumors caused him to have his left eye and ear canal removed. He also had a form of hydro encephalopathy which caused him to have a shunt placed in his head. Collin was a wild and crazy happy boy. He was special needs and loved all his friends and teachers he encountered in QPS. He had no fear growing up so his nickname was “monkey boy” because he always loved climbing. 20 years wasn’t enough
