It is with profound sadness that we announce the passing of Colton Fridh, a bright and adventurous 16-year-old who left an indelible mark on his family, friends, and community. Colton’s life was a testament to the power of kindness, compassion, and a deep connection with nature.
Colton’s love for the outdoors was evident in his passion for fishing, hiking, and exploring the woods and creeks around him. These experiences not only brought him joy but also allowed him to bond with his loved ones and find solace in the beauty of nature. His taste in music reflected his old soul, with a fondness for classic country tunes that resonated deeply with his heart.
Beyond his love for nature, Colton had a profound impact on his community through his volunteer work at the Humane Society. His dedication to caring for stray cats and dogs demonstrated a maturity and empathy beyond his years, inspiring those around him to extend kindness to all creatures.
Colton’s family was the center of his universe, and he shared a special bond with his parents, Shea Whitaker and Daniel Fridh, and his siblings, Colby, Haisley, and Landon. His presence brought joy and love to his household, and his family fondly remembers his mischievous grin and infectious laughter.
Colton’s untimely passing has left a void in the hearts of many. He is preceded in death by his grandfather, Richard Whitaker, but his memory lives on through those he leaves behind. As we mourn the loss of this vibrant young soul, we also celebrate his life and the countless lives he touched through his kindness, compassion, and love for nature.
