My heart is with Colby’s family. May u help each other through this tough time and may your hearts be swarmed with memories of the handsome, kind and big hearted young man that you did an amazing job raising. May his memories sit in place of your pain and fill your hearts with smiles and laughter. Think of the good times and the bad times, they are what molded him and your family into the amazing people that you all are. Never for a second dwell on the ‘what if’s’ or feel blame, Colby wouldn’t want that. Gwen and Shelby, May that beautiful little baby Malcom give you both some beauty in life to focus on during this rough time.
I’m honored to have met your family, and had known Colby.
God bless.

I’ve known Colby since he was in the 8th grade where he was not only a fine athlete, but also a model student, and even more importantly, a great kid who everyone loved being around. It was an honor and privilege to be his teacher and coach and then later, his friend.

This great pain, which we can never forget will stay in our hearts until in our despair creates wisdom through the awful grace of God. To those who have the misfortune to die young, history assigns the role of inspirer…

The most sincere of condolences go out to Colby’s mom and dad, his wonderful sisters Darby and Shelby (Cliff) as well as Tim and Sharon.
Love you all, Zach

I never met Colby. I am so overwhelmed by the Valley’s mourning for our Pride. This morning on the shuttle from the parking lot to the hospital the employees of Wheeling Hospital were raving about the outstanding young man we have lost.
As a mother of a teen age boy that is an extraordinary young man/citizen/student/athlete/son/brother, I can’t fathom the hole blown through the hearts of Colby’s family and friends. I mourn with his mother though, and may it bring her the smallest comfort that there isn’t an Ohio Valley mother that isn’t hugging her child tighter because of your loss. We mourn with you sister. Our hearts ache with you. May God hold you so especially close in the minutes, hours, days, weeks and years that will bring you through this tragedy.
