Heartbroken by the loss of my nephew Colin Reedy. Colin was the kindest, most generous, self-sacrificing, happiest, strongest, and one of the most positive souls I have ever met. I adored you Colin ever since you were a sweet little baby boy. Always near me when you were little, always talking. Our bond was cars, and I looked forward to every conversation about them as you grew older. I love this pic below with you. You were filled with God’s love for everyone and everything and would do anything for anyone. I am so sad that I won’t be able to see you grow older and raise children of your own. My heart is absolutely broken for all of my in-laws and the entirety of this most absolutely wonderful family that I have been honored and joyed and blessed to be a part of for the past 25 years. I will stand by you unconditionally with all of my love. God saw fit to take you from us at only 25 Colin, and I fear I’ll never understand it, but I WILL see you again someday I promise you brother. I love you little buddy. Please pray for my brother and sister in law Brian Reedy and Tracy Reedy. We will all remain at your side through this. 😢❤️🙏
The entire community stands in solidarity with Colin’s family, offering unconditional support and love during this devastating time. The loss of such a vibrant and caring young soul has left a profound impact, and Exton will forever remember Colin Reedy as a local hero and an inspiration to all.
