Care for Colin: A Celebration in Video of Colin Brown

About this Blog - About Colin

This blog was built to update everyone with Colin's medical progress and to have a place where people can share information. When I first started the blog, the donations were thought to be for all of the medical expenses. Then Colin had an extended hospital stay (a lot of which was ICU and surgery). Now, with this tremendous loss, the funds donated are to help Kelly maintain the everyday family expenses/bills. Any additional funds will be directed to the children's funds through the donation function on this page. We will continue to maintain this page as different events are scheduled. Please continue to check back. I just wanted to let everyone know how very grateful the family is and how the prayers and support help so much during these very dark days. A little information about Colin. He is a father. He is a husband. He is a brother. He is a musician. He is a friend to many in the New Orleans area and beyond. He works in the service industry. Through his many years as a bartender/manager, he has touched so many lives by just being Colin. He loves his family and he loves his city! Pre-Katrina, he ran Nick’s Bar and was in a local band. Although Nick’s bar and the band did not survive Katrina, he believed in New Orleans and was one of the first residents back in the city. He helped many people transition back to the city that he loves and calls home. He has always been a friend to everyone. If you needed anything, he would be there for you. If you would like to contribute, please do so using the donation option on this blog. You can also post the blog link on your facebook account. Kelly's spirits have been lifted all of the posts and pictures. Blog and pictures below:

A Celebration in Video of Colin Brown

Thank you to everyone who shared in celebrating Colin Brown's beautiful life on Sunday evening. The main message I heard throughout the night was that Colin had changed someone's life. He just had that effect on people. Once you met him, you knew that he was special. For those of you who could not be at the tribute, we wanted to share the video that was presented at the memorial.

Colin was so very creative, talented and inspired (by everything and everyone around him). It is such a unique talent to be able to put to music everything that you feel and experience. His wife and children being his greatest inspiration. This is very evident in his lyrics. You are able to hear him sing his music on this tribute. He is truly missed.
