A fundraiser has been set up to support his family as they deal with his passing. As of Friday, June 14, more than $48,000 has been raised.
"Collin was a wonderful kid and I'm so very sorry for your loss," wrote a mourner on his tribute wall. "I had the pleasure of watching Collin and Mitchell at our gym's childcare center.
"Collin was full of laughter and joy even as a young child and I am proud to see how much he accomplished both athletically and academically as a teen. My thoughts and prayers are with his family, friends, and all loved ones. He may be gone, but not forgotten and will be remembered for the wonderful person he was."
