I was Collin’s kindergarten teacher and watched him grow up at EN. I will always cherish his sweet smile and disposition. He made our classroom and school a better place! He reminded me of my own son, a year younger than Collin, who also has Down Syndrome. When I saw Collin, I saw Sean. When I saw Collin with Graham, I saw my my own kids. My family knows what it’s like to love and live with a child like Collin and our hearts are broken along with yours. I will always remember him as a sweet, loving, fun boy who made our school community a better place. Sending you all lots of ❤️. The Hunwick Family

I have so many fond memories of Collin. Collin was such a funny boy. When Collin would make me laugh, he would make himself laugh too. He loved photo bombing my pictures. He was very loving and had a generous heart. Collin always greeted me with his infectious smile and many strong hugs. He makes a lasting impression on everyone he’s met. He will be tremendously missed. My heart aches for Collin’s family. My deepest condolences.
I love you Collin, I will miss you.

Collin was such an incredible young man. I had the pleasure of coaching him as a part of the South Port Skate Clubs Therapeutic Skate Program. He always brought so much joy to everyone he interacted with and never failed to show kindness and love through hugs and big smiles. Collin will be missed truly, he was one of a kind and will be sorely missed. Rest in peace Collin, you were an incredible student, son, and person.

I have know Chris for about 15 years, and our most enthusiastic discussion was always his family, including the joy Collin bought to their lives. We will keep the Lis Family in our prayers.

To the Lis Family,
We can't stop thinking about your loss and the tragedy that has struck your family. We pray for peace for all of you and hope you find happiness in his memories.
I remember when you were pregnant and came into the classroom at Aspen for the parties and gatherings. One memory was shortly after Collin was born and you brought him with you for some event. He was so adorable and looked at you with eyes of wonderment and adoration. I thought what a beautiful gift of life for you and your whole family.
The entire of our family is here for you in whatever you may need. Time may have separated us a bit but our hearts are with you all.
Our sympathies,
The Borkowski Family

My condolences to Chris and his family. Cannot imagine the pain of losing a child whose life was unfulfilled, but no doubt touched the hearts and minds of so many. May they have all the strength to endure getting them through this difficult time.

Collin was the most helpful person I have ever met. He would be the one to help you up physically and mentally. I was a friend of Collin and if you are down, he will make you smile. Collin had a very contagious smile, just looking at his smile can make your day much better. I was in the same school as Collin, and he was so funny and kind. Collin will still be appreciated at our school. I will keep on praying for Collin and his family and I wish them the best of luck.

Picture taken of Collin on October 15, 2023. Always with the contagious smile.
Collin was such a precious gift to our family. Actually, Collin was so very special to everyone he met.
From the time someone met Collin and was greeted with his glorious smile, you never knew if he was going to try to convince you that there was no school that day, watch Warehouse Wednesdays, play Hide and Go Seek but of course Oreo had to hide with you, watch him send loving emails to his mom and dad, ask to go see Chuck E, view the hundreds of photos that he loved to take or simply start some new adventure. No matter, he would always have a practical joke in store for you.
I will so miss my bright, funny and loving grandson Collin. Collin continues to fill my heart with joy and is one of the biggest blessings to my life. I will see you again my little buddy. Love, Grandma

Collin was such an animated character. Always wanting to share videos and pictures from his iPad. Or always taking candid pictures from his iPad. Not always flattering. But he thought he was funny and he was. He had an incredible memory or an association. He really did give the best hugs. I loved that he always wanted to hang out with mom’s friends because we were his friends too. I’ll miss his text messages even though there were few. One of my favorite memories is his birthday this year when Syd and I brought over a cupcake and even though his brothers got decorations and a cake, he wanted the tiny one we brought. Collin made us feel so special and appreciated. He always made me smile! What an exceptional kind and loving kid and I am so blessed to have gotten to know him!

I had the honor to be Collin’s 3rd grade teacher in 2020. He was so easy to love and always made me smile. He was a gift to me everyday but especially on the more difficult days. I hope he felt how much we all appreciated his charm and good nature. I am grateful for knowing him. I’ll attach a couple pictures showing Collin making us smile. Wearing my glasses upside down, dancing with classmates, and being a good friend. He was a wonderful little boy. ❤️❤️❤️

We cannot believe you're gone. We were not prepared to say goodbye. We thought there would always be more birthdays, vacations and block parties with you greeting us with a huge smile and an even bigger hug. We will miss all the silly games and inside jokes. Life without you will never be the same. Thank you for bringing so much joy into our lives. We love you and will never forget you.

Dear Chris, Heather and Lis Family,
I am deeply sorry to hear your profound loss. As a father of 3 young children, I can’t even imagine the feeling you are all going through now. I have never met Collin but his smiles are contagious as said by many on the photos. Payers for you all! Jerry Liu (Chris’ colleague at CTCA)

We remember how much Collin loved a birthday party, whether it was his or someone else's. There was nothing better than asking Collin for help blowing out the candles on a birthday cake! You will always be part of all of our birthday celebrations. We love you Collin! Beata, John, Mik, Kasia & Jack

I remember when Collin would sit on the bench while I coached Graham and gave all the boys a high five. He kept everyone happy even if we were losing!
