Colin, my friend; you have touched the lives of so many people. My heart bleeds for your family and everyone who knew you and is close to you. I still don't want to believe this is real, and i send all my love to the Reitberger family and friends. I have so many memories of you from Jr. High and Highschool. Watching your hockey games, going to Hitman games, driving around Ranchalands with people hiding in the bed of the truck; me, you, Jenna and Mitch hanging out in the basement almost everyday after school. But out of all those memories, I have 2 favorites: Remember that one time we tried to take out that black jeep my parents had? Neither me, you, Mitch or Jenna had our licenses but we decided to take it for a joy ride anyways. It was so cold and so icy, we spent almost an hour and a half trying to get it out, pouring boiling water all around the tires and ground to get it to move. You were driving once we finally got it out, and we are all JACKED that this is actually happening, then we barely make it up the hill before we notice the thing is incredibly slanted, get out and see that the front right tire is completely flat. We had to turn around and try to park it exactly in place, which you did like a champ. Then we couldn't get that stupid car cover to fit over it like it was before. Jenna and I blamed it on a wind storm and our parents totally bought it and never even knew. Shortest joy ride ever, but also the funniest. My second, is when we were at Mitch's house chilling in his room, and I went out to get something, and I came back and the 3 of you have broken Mitch's bed! Jenna was totally beside herself cause she felt so fat and you and Mitch where in tears laughing. I'll never forget it. When I saw you last in November when I was visiting from BC, I was having lunch by myself waiting for my friend to get off work, and you came and said hi and gave me a big hug like no time had passed at all. Then you saw I was by myself and you said you would join me so you, and your friends kept me company until you had to go. You're just always so sweet, thoughtful and always looking out for the people around you. I cant believe that that is the last time I will ever run into you. Mitch and I were talking about you the other day before this all happened; just about the fact that your are truly the best guy there is, and how lucky he is to have you as a best friend. I wish the circumstances where different so he could say goodbye too, but the friendship you guys have goes beyond that. The people who knew you, no matter for how long, are the luckiest kind. Rest easy in paradise Colin, you will forever been remembered down here
