The following letter was distributed via email on Wednesday afternoon.
Dear Friends,
Collin drew his last breaths in our world this morning shortly after 1:00 a.m. He fought for as long as he could and much harder than one his age should ever have to in keeping with Walter Payton's belief, " Never die easy".
We truly appreciate all of your support and are planning a celebration of Collin's life. We will have details finalized in the next few days. Until then, keep Collin's spirit alive and strong in your hearts.
Our thanks,
Joan, Ramsay and Ray Wehr
