Colin E. Rish

A Tribute to Colin Edward Rish

You entered the world on August 22, 1994, a beautiful baby boy with dark hair and big brown eyes. The first few months were difficult for you and your parents due to your severe colic. Eventually, you grew out of it and enjoyed playing and building things with your Legos.

You loved to fish and hunt with your dad and grandpa Ed and enjoyed splashing in the pool and playing with your little sister, Claire. Your quiet nature allowed you to be more introspective than most young boys your age. Good times and experiences filled your days, but challenges of darkness were there as well.

Your sensitive personality provided a special close bond between you and your dear mother, Renee. The twinkle in your eyes and sweet smile captured the love of your life, Alyssa. The inner struggles you held inside were known only to a few, but those that loved you best, always knew.

On December 23, 2017, your struggles and pain came to an end. We will miss you with every breath we take. Our sadness and grief is overwhelming to bear. We take comfort in knowing you are now resting in peace.

Colin is deeply loved and will be greatly missed by his mother, Renee Bellas, his sister, Claire Rish, and by the love of his life, Alyssa. Colin is also survived by aunts, uncles and cousins. He was preceded in death by his father Thomas and his grandfather, Ed.

Visitation will be Wednesday, December 27, from 3-6pm at the Schrader-Howell Funeral Home, 280 S. Main St., Plymouth, 48170. His Funeral Service will begin immediately following visitation at 6pm at the funeral home.

In lieu of flowers, memorial donations may be made to New Hope Center for Grief Support, Families Against Narcotics-Northwest Wayne or Amber Reineck Recovery House/Home of New Vision. Online donations available at amberreineckhouse@aol.com
