In Memory of Colby Lord; C-A Scholarship
Donation protected
In Colby’s honor, this scholarship will be given to a high school graduate of the upcoming year 22-23.
Colby was a 2020 graduate of Coxsackie-Athens Central Schools. During his short but well lived life he enjoyed playing on several Little League and Pop Warner teams and moved on to play modified and varsity high school sports; such as, football and wrestling. He was a 2020 Class C Section 2, 182lb. Champion for wrestling, placing 3rd in his weight class. He loved wrestling and was known for his signature takedown move of picking up his opponent and slamming them to the mat. As a child Colby attended Cub Scouts and moved on to Boy Scouts where he earned the highest rank, Eagle Scout in 2020. At the age of sixteen, Colby joined the Earlton Fire Dept. There he found a whole new family. He had earned his interior and exterior firefighting certificates. He enjoyed every moment of being with "his boys".
While still in his senior year Colby joined the Marine Corps through their early enlistment program. In August of 2020 he was sent to Parris Island where he worked his way to the title of United States Marine. He graduated boot camp on November 13, 2020 as Private First Class. He then went on to MCT training at Camp Geiger, NC and MOS training at Camp Lejeune, NC. From there he was stationed at Camp Pendleton in California in May of 2021. He was promoted to Lance Corporal May 1, 2021.
He was a friend to all, a protector of many, had a smile that could light up a room and he will forever be missed.
