Colton worked for Kent Power and was a member of the IBEW Local #71. Colton impacted so many people and left his mark with countless individuals. Everyone who knew him will feel the loss as he was such an amazing person to everybody he came in contact with. We couldn’t help but love him. Colton had an ability to sense other’s pain and was always there to support everyone he came in contact with. He traveled to Africa to help others and handed out Bibles to others and helped lead many to be saved. He was known as the horse whisperer and had an unfounded natural born talent with horses. He attended Waverly Community Church where the congregation was like his family. Colton had the biggest heart. He will be missed by all who knew him.
A memorial service will be announced at a later date.
