Colin Lee Gentry

Dear Shelley, There are no words to express my heartache for you during this difficult time. I wish there were some magic words that I could say to you to help ease your sorrow but I know those words don't exist. I just wanted you to know that you are in my thoughts and prayers and will continue to be so. Just remember you have the support fo the Business Office family and you will be in all of our hearts. Sincerely, Holly

I only met Colin briefly back in March. That was during the search for my brother-in-law, Clint Caudle. My family truly appreciated Colin's help during that trying time. He spent many days, many hours, searching along with my brother Steve, looking for Clint. We are grateful for that. I would like to extend my deepest sympathy to your family for the loss of your loved one.

My thoughts and prayers are with you in this most sad time. Remember: What God Brings you to He Will bring you through.

Shelly, I am so sorry for your loss, I know what you are going through. Just look to God for your strength. He will never leave you nor forsake you. You are in my prayers. Juanita Andrews

I didn't know Colin all that well but I know he was a good man with a big heart. I know that he loved Shelley very much and that she loved him right back. He'll be missed by all his friends but at least heaven has an extra carpenter just in case Jesus gets tired. All my Love.

Colin was a great friend. I'll never forget the childhood memories. I will miss him. Sincerely, Cameron Martin

So sorry we couldn't make it to the funeral. I know its so sad that when we get older that everone goes there on way, and don't see each other as much as we would like. I can still rember all the good times and all the things that Colin done around here. for one that will always stick with me that was funny at the time. but maybe not to his dad. and that was when some of us stayed all night at the lake and caught some fish. and Colin clean them on top of Jerry's red truck that he just had painted. and the next day when it was daylight it looked bad. times like that was the good old days. again so sorry, and if there is anything we can do please let us know. may god bless you all.

Shelly, So sorry for you loss may God bless you and guide you through this time of sorrow.

May God keep you strong.

Shelley, We just learned of Colin's passing away. We are so very sorry for you and your family's loss. Colin was a great guy, and he will be missed greatly. I know we didn't keep in touch but we always had fond memories of when ya'll stayed down here in Louisiana. You are in our thoughts and prayers. Dewell and Patrisha Walker Rev. 21:3, 4

I haven't been around Colin since we were kids, everyone goes their own way when you get older.Sitting at the funeral I could see what a special person he was, the family, friends and the tears,the stories how he love living off the land and how he loved nature. My thought as we were driving home were how Colin was a legend in time,he took time for the beauiful things God created and God will reward Colin for them. Our thoughts and prayers will be with the family always. Remember Jesus will never leave your side in your time of sorrow, when days are tough just ask Jesus to to give you strenght,Jesus will be your Comforter.

As for most of us I grew up with Colin , I have alot of great memories as we were growing up. As we got older we moved our seperate ways, we still kept in touch. if not on the phone with him it was keeping in touch through Margie,LaShawn, Kelvin and Nikki.He is well known and well loved. we all will miss him. My thoughts and prayers are with you all. I love you very much.

We were so sorry to hear about Colin's passing. We are sorry we weren't able to be there and give our support during this hard time. Our thoughts and prayers are with everyone. The whole Gentry family is in our prayers. Love, Heath, Cassie Taylor, and Jack McFerrin (Rex's grandaughter and family)

I wanted all of you to know that you are in my thoughts and Prayers.Like all the others in the family it seems that when we get older we all go our seperate way's. But no matter how far we go we still have those memories of the times when we were together growing up.I have some wonderful memories of Collin and I will always keep them close to my Heart.I love you all and will keep you in my Prayers.

Our thoughts and prayers are with all of you. So sorry I did'nt get to come and be with the family.Margie, I viewed all the beautiful pictures,I cried, and then when it come to the one of him and uncle Jerry, I thought about how they are together again and with other family members.If you need me for anything, please let me know. I will continue to pray for the family because I know the days ahead are not going to be easy for all of you. All my love and prayers. Carole Loggains

It was a sad thing when I heard about Colin's accident. Prayers went out, but sometimes we don't always get what we pray for and only God knows why. All these Memorial Pictures sure have brought back some really old memories even older than what I had already been thinking of. I have known Colin all of my life and will miss bumping into him from time to time! Colin was like his Dad he was tuff as nails, I seen him fight a guy over twice his size four times one night before we talked him into going back to O'kean with us! I never seen him back up from anything and he would help anyone if he could, How much better can ya get than that! Colin will still live in the hearts of many for years to come! He has many old friends that will never forget him in all walks of life!

My "cok-a-mo" . I am missing him so much. I loved going to his place, and having a weiner roast, and visiting,and watching him and Shelley with all their animals.They even took in "wild" animals and nutured them . I will miss his phone calls.He had a heart of gold.He "gave" so much-even to complete strangers.There are so many stories about Colin's life and the way he always helped people, and the way he loved and played with kids,and his many adventures, and his love for nature. I think he was just an amazing nephew and I am so proud he was mine. As Rick said-when you go to his place out in the "boonies" - in the woods and mountains--"Nature is just EXPLODING all around you".That was Colin. I miss him.

Growing up with Colin was a wonderful adventure. He was very special and great with children. He tied my kids up still playing cowboys and Indians at over 40. Love you Margie,Kelvin, LaShawn and Shelley! GOD BLESS AND CALL IF YOU NEED ANYTHING.

Maggie,So sorry to heard about Colin, I know he is a great lost to you and your family. Just know my prays are with you.God bless all of you. Jannette

Colin was my husband and my best friend.We were together for about 25 years. Those years were sometimes very hard for us financially but we always had so much love for each other that it made everything else ok. I learned a lot from Colin. He had the biggest heart and he was so helpful and kind to everyone that he met.I was so proud of him and I'll always love him. I still miss him every day.

Colin Gentry....Well, where to start If I'm going to talk about him? With my earliest memories of him? That would be at Uncle Wob's and Aunt Zuma's. He had some action figures (dolls) that were like G.I Joe's, but ther were cowboy style, Johnny West, I think they were called. We had big fun with them. Of course elemetary school. We went through that together. Then high school. I think we studied girls, cars, and partying more than our school work. The first time I ever left home, it was me and Colin. We loaded my truck and took off. After about 3 hours, I said, "which way, Texas or Louisianna"? He said, "I been to Texas", so New Orleans it was. We wound up in port Sulpher with Glen Swift. Good times. A year or so later, he came to O'kean on a visit and told me about Fayetteville Ark., where he was living. About 2 weeks later, I followed him to there. I stayed there12 years. I watched him and Shelly get married there, (Shelly, you're a good woman, I love you darlin). Colin was an important part of my lif, and I'm thankful for that. I miss you brother, and we'll meet when the roll is called up yonder.
