Former Ashland High basketball player Mark Collins passed away at KDMC in Ashland yesterday.Mark was 48.He was a former All Area player(73-74;74-75).I played against Mark in High School and can attest that he was a very good player.More importantly he was a great guy.The family has my deepest sympathy at this difficult time.

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.

Prayers and angels from here in Clark Co.

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.
