In Loving Memory of Colby Hanlon

With broken hearts and deep sorrow, we remember the life of Colby Hanlon of Tamworth, who passed away unexpectedly on February 20, 2026, at the age of 40. His sudden departure has left family, friends, and all who knew him grappling with shock, grief, and an overwhelming sense of loss.

Colby’s life, though far too short, was meaningful and deeply connected to the people around him. He was someone whose presence mattered — whether through shared laughter, heartfelt conversations, or simply being there when someone needed support. Those closest to him will remember his individuality, his spirit, and the moments that made him uniquely Colby.

An unexpected loss brings with it unanswered questions and emotions that are difficult to put into words. As his loved ones seek understanding surrounding his passing, they are leaning on one another for strength. In times like this, community becomes everything — a reminder that no one grieves alone.

Colby is dearly missed by his family and friends, who carry treasured memories of him in their hearts. From everyday moments to life’s milestones, the imprint he left cannot be erased. His laughter, his voice, and his presence will echo in the stories shared for years to come.

During this incredibly difficult time, Colby’s family is seeking assistance to help cover cremation costs and to provide a memorial urn that honors his memory with dignity and care. The financial burden that accompanies sudden loss can be overwhelming, and any support — whether through donations or by simply sharing their message — would mean more than words can express.

Every act of kindness, no matter how small, helps lighten the weight his family is carrying. Contributions will go directly toward ensuring Colby receives a respectful farewell and a lasting tribute that reflects the love he inspired in others.

As we remember Colby Hanlon, we honor a life that touched many and ended far too soon. May we hold our loved ones a little closer, speak our words of care more freely, and support one another in the ways that truly matter.

Colby’s memory lives on in the hearts of those who loved him. May he rest in peace, and may his family find comfort in the compassion and generosity of the community during this time of profound grief.
