    Shyanne Louis There's so many more pictures that could be posted and so much I want to say. I tried to pick the ones that best showed Colton's personality. He was always goofy, funny, and most of all caring. He did what he could to make you laugh and brighten up your day, especially if it wasn't going well to begin with. He was always up for anything you wanted to do, even if it was a Christmas photoshoot haha. Even as the years went on and we all got older and grew apart he still kept in touch and wanted to make sure everyone was doing okay, and I appreciate him for that. He will always have a place in my heart and will be missed dearly. Thank you for being a friend.

    Michelle Mittelstedt One of the many goofy things these two have done over the years as kids. Colton and Tyson decided to see how many ribs they could eat at one time. Oh, the belly laughs and sauced faces that day! Colton was a sweet kid and a beautiful soul. He will be thought of often and fondly. May all the love and warm memories provide comfort for you all.

    Buck C. Love that. Thanks Rich

    Jordan Davis We meet in basic training for the Air force. I stayed with you for the entire time you were in the military, your freestlyes helped us pass the time in bootcamp. We shared many nights in the dorms at our first base hanging out. I miss you man, way to soon. You were one of the most fun people I've ever meet and love to crack jokes on my terrible shoe selection

    21 Jul 2018Calder, ID, United States

    Jenee Carr I don't even know what to say. Colton played a major part in mine and my husband's life. I have more photos to post this is just a few. He was a groomsman in our wedding but he was sooo much more then that. He was the one to either make awkward moments less awkward or more depending on the scenario 😅. He always knew how to cheer anyone up and he was always there if you needed him. He always joked that if my husband messed things up he was gunna take me. Haha ❤️ He was goofy, loud, annoying, and we all loved and adored him for it. I remember the first time I met colton he goes "what's up shortie" (I'm only 5'2) and rested his arm on my head and gave me a hug. Always comin in with the short jokes. Love you Colteen ❤ fly high bud and watch over all of us.

    Dani Bravo Even though our relationship wasn’t perfect I’m glad I got to have him in my life for the short three years that I did. He was my best friend and he loved my girls as his own. I’ll forever cherish all our memories. RIP. I love you forever 💔

    tina garcia I remember when I first met colton after his show at the elks lodge. We said a few words and didn’t talk after that, but a couple years later we started talking and getting to know each other. We would facetime every day and night. We instantly clicked. One day he told me to come to Oregon and that day I bought a ticket to see him. The day I got to Oregon he picked me up from the airport and he showed me all the places he loved going to, shared his music with me, and we had the best time ever. I remember the day that I was supposed to go home and I didn’t want to leave him because I was having so much fun that I purposely missed my flight, not even a month later we bought him a ticket to come back to pocatello, and we had such an amazing time when he came back. Colton became someone very special to me. I will forever cherish every moment we had together.

    Oscar Umhey Colton is one of my best friends since 5th grade. He was always someone who I looked up to and the memories he gave me growing up are impossible to replicate. I was devastated to hear the news of his passing and my thoughts and heart go out to all his family and all the people in his life that cared about him. Here we are at Cannon beach, I'm so glad I got to come visit him last year one more time. RIP buddy, I'll see you on the other side
