Colin Michael Russell
12/06/1991-09/07/2005
Colin had many talents. He was intelligent and thoughtful, playful and fun, and full of energy, curiosity and plans for his future. He played acoustic guitar and classical cello, was an avid reader, and was in an advanced placement track at school. He played forward and was a captain of his soccer team. He loved snow boarding, skateboarding and surfing.
Colin was a wonderful son and his easy going manner allowed him to be a good friend to many. One said "Colin was always the happy one, the one who others could talk to".She said he was usually the one who could be counted on to say just the right thing to diffuse an awkward moment in any group. That was one of his special gifts, one we all miss so much.
This site was created to help preserve memories of Colin's life and to increase awareness of how he died. It is dedicated to him and to all the other young boys and girls, each with special talents and promise, who lost their lives to the choking game. And, it is a place for parents and professionals to learn about a significant risk that their children, students, or patients may face.
