Mark Collins came from a fine family, was a good man, and a talented athlete. As with so many, he left us far too soon.

Mark was a great guy. I met him when I played baseball for Post 76. Prayers go out to his family & friends.

Mark could always find the funny side of any situation. He was a joy to be around.

He leaves behind a 9yo daughter and a wife that is due to give birth to their second child in Oct.

Please keep them in your prayers.

This is very sad news.

 

Mark graduated the year before I began at Blazer. He was smooth on the basketball court, and was one of the guys we younger players looked up to and tried to emulate. I am very sorry to hear this.

 

God Bless his family.

I will pray for his family.

This is a shame. I knew him from my time working at the YMCA. He was a great guy and my thoughts and prayers are with his family.
