In the Spring of 2022, Colby moved to West Palm Beach, FL, where he began his career at Air Compressor Works.

Colby had a passion for anything with wheels. As a three-year old, riding a Tonka dump truck down the driveway, ramping and jumping on his bicycle, racing around in a golf cart, hot-rodding countless cars and trucks and, of course, his favorite, motorcycles.

His adoptive grandmother Rose and her family, and many other family members and friends, far too numerous to be mentioned here.

Colby was preceded in death by his grandparents Don and Renay Dickerson, his adoptive grandfather, Bob Casey, and his cousin Benjamin Lawrenson, also a Marine and his Great-Aunt Karen Hartner.
