Jeff was a father, son, grandfather, and brother who will be dearly missed by all who knew him. He was an avid outdoorsman who loved hunting and fishing. Jeff always had a smile on his face and never met a stranger. He loved spending time with family and friends. He loved cooking. Jeff was a welder by trade and was the most hardworking guy.

Jeff was preceded in death by his parents, Ina and Leon Colson; and brother, David P. Colson.

Those left to cherish his memory are his son, Josh Colson (Julia); sisters, April Colson (Sam) and Dawn Pickett (Harvey); brothers, Steve Colson (Christy) and Scott Colson (Emily); several grandchildren, nieces, nephews, loved ones, and friends.

Honorary pallbearers will be Josh McGurk and Jamie Eaton.
