Colby was a creative young man, an avid outdoorsman and adventurer. He would light up the room with his smile, laughter, and happiness; he filled many lives with hope and he taught us what love is. His friends were numerous and each has wonderful stories to tell about their time with Colby. He loved music, rollercoasters, animals, fishing, being on the water, cars, friends, and family. He loved people and he loved life and lived it to the fullest with gusto.

Because of Colby's love for animals, especially for his cat, Ibit, memorials may be made to the Charleston Animal Society, 2455 Remount Road, North Charleston, SC 29406. Also because of his love of feeding and nurturing others, memorials may be made to the Low Country Food Bank, 2864 Azalea Drive, North Charleston, SC 29405.

The family is asking those who will attend Colby's service to please bring non-perishable food in Honor of his legacy.
