In Memory of
Shelby Isac Collins
-

Shelby passed away on January 2, 2012.
He is survived by his wife Lindsey, parents Speedy and Lisa Collins, his grandparents Granny, Opa and Oma. His brothers Shonathon, Irron, Ivan, nephew Christian, numerous aunts, uncles, cousins and friends who will miss him very much.

Shelby was born in Norman, Oklahoma and spoke of many fond memories of spending time there with his grandparents, especially the times he went hunting and fishing with his Opa. It was there that he developed his great love for the outdoors.

Shelby had many friends and enjoyed spending time with them, whether tinkering with cars, playing video games or just hanging out Shelby was happy in the company of his friends. Shelby had a great sense of humor and loved to make people laugh.

Shelby loved all animals especially dogs and would have had a kennel full of his four legged friends if he could.

Shelby had many talents and was gifted with the use of his hands. When working on the things he was very passionate about like cars, motorcycles or saltwater aquariums, the size or scope of the project did not detour him from the job. You never found Shelby too far away from a set of tools. Some of his friends called him "MacGyver" for his resourceful ability to improvise repairs using what ever was on hand including duct tape.

In addition to Shelby's love of all thing mechanical he enjoyed listening to music and playing the guitar. Another passion of his was cooking and trying new recipes, adding his own touches to create a truly unique and tasty dish.

Lindsey and Family,
Rob and I were devastated to hear about Shelby. We always considered him part of our family. He was such a compassionate young man. He was by our sides, as you know, when Brandon was recently killed and we cried together. I loved hearing his stories. He always could make us laugh. We have loved him from the time he lived with us in high school and through out the years. I am so glad I got a chance to hug him and tell him I loved him just last week. Rob and I feel like we have lost another son. I am so thankful for the time we got to spend with you, Shelby and Brandon in Hawaii last year after Blake's wedding. I will cherish that time and the picture of the three boys together forever.
Much Love,
Ruthanne & Rob Bell

Dear Lindsey;
I am your 2nd cousin, up in Wisconsin, I am your Great Aunt Grace's youngest child, Carol. I doubt you remember me, I'm only about 10 years older than you, and I barely remember meeting you when you were little at your Grandpa's house, though I do remember that you and your sisters were such cute little girls! This also doesn't mean that we don't think of you! My mom and I are so saddened with the news of your husband. Our thoughts and prayers go to you, your immediate family & friends and to Shelby's family.
Many hugs from all of us in Wisconsin!
