Passing of a Friend of All

It is with a very heavy heart that I make this very sad statement. I just got the call from the family of Howard Collier asa ReelCrappie here on Crappie.com that Howard graduated to glory yesterday. I have no plans for the service but as soon as I do I will post it. Back just a few years ago Howard gave away all of his fishing gear after he was diagnosed with Leukemia. He always thought of other people and loved to see the younger generation enjoy fishing. His 3 kids will be shown this post so please let the family know what you feel.

So sorry to hear about his death, it is hard to say good by to a wonderful friend, but we have this wonderful hope in Jesus Christ. first Thessalonians chap. 4 verse 16 for the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout with the voice of the arch-angle and with the trump of God and the dead in Christ shall rise first. just hold on for a LITTLE while and we will see him again. Thank you LORD JESUS !

Prayers out to the family.

Sorry to hear. My heartfelt prayers for his family.

May he be in Heaven fishing with his new body with no sickness. Praise God and may God's Mercy and Strength be on the family.

i haven`t seen Howard in several years but i talk to hem not long ago . he had planned to come down and go fishing . guess he will be fishing in that big pond in heaven . i still have the 2 rods he gave me when he had to quit fishing .
RIP Howard .

So sorry to hear the news. Never met him, just through his posts. This is a great place to come for support though.

I am very sad to hear this. Praying Gods peace will be with the family as they go through this. God has prepared a new home for us where there will be no more death, tears or pain.

Paula my prayers and thoughts are with you.Just heard the sad news last night from Rusty,I have been out of the loop for awhile.Rest and be comforted that Jesus will take care of him now.

Rip. He was a class act. I hate to hear this

Howard was one of the best. Good man all around and proud to have known him. Got to fish with him a little while back at West Point when he met me down there prefishing a tournament. With all he had going on, he still was cutting up and having fun. He could tell you stories that would make your gut hurt from laughing, yet they were true. No way he could have made up some of the things he had been through. He never would let on to anyone how he was really doing. He always projected happiness. Gonna miss him, but I am sure he is happier fishing in the big pond with no more worries.
