Colton Lee Thornell, born on Nov. 13, 2007, to Chris Thornell and Lisa White McBlair, went to be with his Lord and Savior on January 26, 2021, at 5:52 p.m. 

Colton loved his family, baseball, football, hunting and fishing with his daddy. Colton loved to sing with his mama. He was the most kind-hearted young man you would ever meet. He was very protective of his two older sisters, who adored him.

Whenever Colton walked in, he immediately lit up the room. His generosity and sincerity were very rare. Colton will be greatly missed by many.
