Laramie, I have known you since we were young and it was amazing seeing the man you had become. You and my brother always use to talk about what yall were going to do when yall got older and you did it. I was so proud of you and everything you had accomplished and still were accomplishing. You were an amazing father,son,brother,and you were an amazing friend to me and my son. You taught Cam so much and it will always remain instilled in him. I will always and forever cherish the times I had with you, the laughter, and all the talks about life bestfriend. You were my go to person and the person I trusted with everything and now I don't have that anymore. God must have needed his angel more because you were truly heaven sent. We miss you so much and I am praying that God gives your family and us that were close to you peace and strength because this hurts deeply. They took you from us too soon, but you will never be forgotten beautiful soul...we love you legendary "Jacktown Bud" Bestfriend Jessica

Mr. Collins, Had I known that Wednesday would have been my last time talking to you, I would have told you AGAIN how PROUD of you I am, how much I LOVE you, and how I UNDERSTAND that you had to leave! You told me that in this life you only die ONCE, so live EVERYDAY! I thank GOD for the time I was allowed to EXPERIENCE you as a FRIEND! I won't say it doesn't HURT today as it did Wednesday, but I am so GRATEFUL to know that WE now are BLESSED to have an Angel like you to watch over us for ETERNITY! I love you now, I love you still, always have, and always will! Not even DEATH will stop that! Thank You Laramie, Job Well Done! 💙💛💙💛
