Christopher Daniel Stanley Colby arrived into this world on August 16, 1988, to Mona Christine Colby. Christopher passed away on Tuesday, January 24, 2006, at St. Mary's Hospital in Rogers, Arkansas. From the start, he proved to be a fighter and one that would change the lives of people he would meet forever. His destiny was one of greatness that he fulfilled. Chris spent most of his life with Ron and Gayle Pullease and their children: Melissa, Amy, Megan and Garrick. Chris had the opportunity to attend church, go boating, camping, watch drive-in movies, go to school activities, get out and experience the world. There were no boundaries with Chris, only opportunities. Chris's motto was "The louder, the better!" In his "down" time he would relax to AC/DC and Led Zepplin. In his later years, he was cared for by Beth Holloway and Ginnie Boster. Ginnie had the opportunity to spend this last year seeing the world through Chris' eyes. Chris is survived by all those lives that he touched and changed forever. Chris' life was complete. "Chris has fought the good fight and run the race of his life. He is free from pain. He is in heaven where his breathing is no longer labored, and he cannot only walk, but run, too. Rest in peace, my brave boy. I love you."
