**Obituary for Colin Michael Harding**
It is with profound sadness that we announce the passing of Colin Michael Harding, who left us on July 7, 2025, at the tender age of 21. Colin was born on June 26, 2004, in Fort Wayne, Indiana, a bright light who touched the lives of all who knew him.
Colin is survived by his loving family, including his mother, Caitlyn Hill; his siblings, Hazel, Sara, and Ryan Harding; and a network of friends and relatives who will remember him fondly. His empathetic spirit and genuine kindness were rooted in his upbringing, and he was known for his infectious laughter and positive outlook on life.
Though Colin's time with us was far too short, he filled it with joy and a deep love for others. He had a remarkable ability to bring people together and will be greatly missed by all who had the pleasure of knowing him.
In honoring Colin's memory, his family welcomes those who wish to offer their condolences and celebrate his life. Details regarding memorial arrangements will be shared by the family in due course.
May Colin Michael Harding rest in peace, forever remembered for his warmth, compassion, and the happiness he brought to our lives.
