Pat Collins, born in Logansport, Indiana to Harold and Juanita Collins. A proud Marine Corps Veteran who served two tours in Vietnam. Pat returned home after the war to a career at GTE/Verizon. He leaves behind a loving and devoted wife, Patricia Collins; four children, Tina (Ron) Noe, Scott Collins, Matt (Michelle) Whan, and Rachel Jacobs. Eight grandchildren and two great-grandchildren. He also left a legacy of willingness to lend a hand, and a good laugh to all who knew and loved him. He was a great father, husband, and friend, who had an outstanding ability to never judge but instead, understand and relate to whatever issues were present. He will be sorely missed by all who knew him. Though his passing is bitter-sweet the family hopes that out of this would come an understanding of how fleeting this life is and focus on building a relationship with Jesus Christ, so that we can spend eternity together in His loving arms.
