Colby James Bird On the morning of April 25th 2014, the world lost a truly amazing man. Born April 22nd 1986, the eldest child of Robert and Therese Bird. Colby was a dear brother, supporter, and comedian to Saje Bird, Carly Teats (Ben Teats), and McKenna Bird, fiancAC. to Abby Fisher, grandson to Ralph and Molly Bird and Alfred and Gladys Brady, as well as a close friend to many. Colby was passionate about many sports and hobbies. These included motorcycles, playing a variety of musical instruments, listening to music of all genres, skiing, snowboarding, camping, and providing entertainment with his silly antics. His closest friend, Skyler Wilson, was his constant companion and best friend since childhood. They would routinely have band night where they would practice for many hours as well as many parties together. They shared a passion for classic vehicles, Colby's favorite being Skyler's 1946. He's entire family has always been very loving and proud of everything he accomplished. Throughout Colby's life, even in the end, his family was at his side showing him the same comfort and love he always gave them. With Colby there was never a dull moment. He was always cracking jokes and ripping ass, always putting a smile on someone's face. His siblings have always looked up to him and came to him at any time of need. He was always ready and willing to put his siblings before himself. Many childhood stories include broken bones and dear moments they would cherish forever. His fiancAC. especially smiled with him; Abby stood at his side with love and support. She accompanied him on many rides on his motorcycle "Black Nasty." She is his saving grace and many times referred to as his "princess." She is truly the individual that brought the brightest light into his life. He worked at Home Depot in Riverdale for five years in the electrical department and was well known for his eccentric service. He gained many close friends and dear acquaintances working there. To all who sowed their love and support, there will never be enough gratitude expressed by his family.
