Collin Perry Riegel, known affectionately as "Cloudyy*" by his loved ones, left us too soon on September 10, 2023. Born on May 8, 2004, in Aurora, Colorado, Collin's love for life, his compassion, and his infectious laughter cemented him as a beacon of light in the lives of those who knew him. A generous soul, Collin was always willing to lend a helping hand, demonstrating his love through actions that spoke louder than words.
Throughout his life, his sense of humor constantly brightened the lives of those around him. As a stocker in the retail business, he spread laughter and joy, not just to his coworkers, but to every customer he interacted with. His generosity extended beyond his loved ones, as he was always willing to go the extra mile to make someone's day a little bit brighter. With a heart full of love, Collin cherished his girlfriend "Ary", who was the most important person in his life.
Collin is survived by his parents, Timothy Riegel and his wife Jenna, and Amanda Riegel and her partner John II. He is also survived by his siblings Joshua, Kaitlyn, Lily, and Eli Riegel. His grandparents, Cameron and Sherrie Carle, also continue to carry his memory. Collin is preceded in death by his grandparents, Beverly and John Riegel.
In the words of Maya Angelou, "People will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel." Collin's legacy of love, compassion, and laughter will continue to resonate within the hearts of his family, friends, and all who had the privilege of knowing him. We will remember Collin for his funny anecdotes, his compassionate heart, his loving nature, and his generous spirit.
