Colby McCarley Obituary

Our beloved son, brother, and grandson was taken from us in a car accident on June 30, 2014 on Highway 94 near Ellicott, Colorado. Colby was 17 years old and was born in Colorado Springs on April 19, 1997.

He attended Miami-Yoder High School in Rush, Colorado and worked part time at Bambino's restaurant in Colorado Springs. He would have been a senior in the upcoming school year and was a varsity lettered athlete in Football, Basketball, and Baseball with a 3.4 GPA. He was also a member of the Leo Club, FCCLA, NHS, and FFA.

Colby is survived by mother, Tami Sisneros; step-father, Russ Price; and brother, Terryn of Yoder, Colorado; and grandfather, Tony Sisneros. Colby is also survived by father, Thomas McCarley; step-mother, Stacey McCarley; brothers, Shayne, Lucas, Jacob, Grady; and sister, Tori of Green Mountain Falls; grandfather, Ken McCarley; grandmother, Karen Smith; grandparents, Paul & Carol Tidemann; and numerous cousins, aunts, and uncles on all sides of his family.

He was preceded in death by grandmother, Linda Sisneros; and grandparents, Merle and MaryAnn Price.

Colby's much too short life and beautiful smile touched many hearts and he will be deeply missed by all of his family, friends, teachers, coaches, and community members who now deeply grieve at his loss.

Colby, you are gone but NEVER forgotten!

As I read Colby's surviving relatives, my eyes fell upon "Paul Tidemann," Colby's grandfather. Myself, and many of my family has been honored to know Paul as a driver at Monk's and Pioneer. I'm so sorry to Paul (Magic) and your entire family, that you are grieving the loss of such a great young man. My condolences to you all. May God's grace hold you close in these darkest of hours.
