In honor of our friend Collin.
Today is World Su***de Prevention Day, a profound moment in time for our team. Earlier this year, we lost an amazing team member, but foremost, an incredible friend, Collin Diggan, to su***de.
Collin lit up the room when he walked in; you could feel your spirits lift whenever he was nearby. Collin was an extremely passionate person; his unbreakable caringness for others, positive approach to almost any situation, determination towards his work, empathetic and compassionate mindset for everyone around him, and so much more inspired us all and will continue to do so each and every day. Collin would be able to make even some of the toughest days enjoyable for us all. His lightheartedness was contagious, and so was his wide smile and goofy laugh.
If you got to know Collin, you were truly one of the luckiest people on earth. We hope to share a small piece of the enormous impact he had on us all through some of these photos collected from team members (at least the ones that could make the instagram).
To commemorate Collin, we placed a ribbon on our car in his honor and hung a plaque in our workspace so his memory will forever be a part of this team. Not only that, but what he left us with motivated us all to go to competition and bring a trophy home, which we did just that, for him. We plan to take that commemoration one step further this year, through our actions and much more. This entire year is dedicated to Collin.
Forever in our hearts, we love and miss you every day, Collin.
