Halton McCollin was born in London in November of 1987. However, he moved to Manchester at an early
age. His life was brutally taken from him at the age of 20, as he passed away on Tuesday 22nd
January 2008.
I do not think it would be possible to find a more loved and respected member of the community than
Halton. He had an affect on every person he ever came across that made them love him. My personal
memory of Halton will be the funniest, most thoughtful and outgoing individual I will ever come
across. He was always willing to do something and I don't recall of him ever saying he was
bored, as his personality allowed him to go and do something with anybody at anytime.
He went to Broad Oak Primary School, followed by Parrs Wood High School. He was known by both
students and teachers alike as a joker, popular amongst everybody, and a role model towards others,
especially myself. More or less the leader of a large group of friends, with everybody looking up to
him, mentally and literally at times. Also a tremendous sportsman with a bright future ahead of him
in Football.
I was lucky enough to go on two holidays with Halton, but despite it was just the two of us who
left, I couldn't have had it any other way, as these were some of the greatest memories I will
ever have. In the most boring of situations, he had the gift to bring entertainment.
He was an honest man, who worked hard for his friends and family, with his own house, his own car,
and worked at Norwich Union. He ALWAYS had time for his friends and family, and always made sure he
was there for them, which I will never forget.
Although his life was taken from him tragically far too soon, Halton lived his 20 year life to the
full, there was nothing that he hadn't done. He has made his friends and family so proud and
there will never be another blessing in the world like him. He is in a better place now, in heaven
where angels belong. Never ever to be forgotten, there are thousands of memories forever in our
hearts.
One day we'll meet again I hope, and forever I look forwards to seeing your captivating smile.
I pray for the need for something to be done about gun crime by the government, to prevent any other
friends or family members having to feel this way again.
Please share your memories of this great man.
Much appreciation. Todd Gregson, a loving friend. xx

Thinking about you....
Hello angel,
I haven't been on here in a while and I just thought I would write a little message.
I have our song on in the background whilst I am writing this. I love that it is called "remember the days"...at the time the name didn't mean anything to me when we were sat on that wall sharing my headphones but now I am so grateful for it and it keeps me going when I am blue. It is something that brings me comfort when I am struggling to cope with the fact you are not here. I do and will always remember the days I was blessed to share with you Halton, your smile and your laughter will be two of the things that stay in my heart forever. You were always there for me to brighten my day and I will be forever thankful for that. The time we shared will be something I can always treasure and something I can look back to and think about when it becomes too hard.
The pain still hasn't began to cease but I can't help but smile through the pain when I think of you. You were truley one very special person in my life. You just had this unique quality that nobody could ever match. You should still be here...we should be celebrating your birthday with you and it hurts too much knowing we won't be. We just all try and stick together and that helps each of us get through it as best we can. But it isn't fair. I want to laugh with you again...I want to have to take twice as many steps as you just to keep up with you...I want the happyness I felt seeing you in the mornings in college...i want just another day to tell you how much I love you and how grateful I am for time we shared but I can't and my memorys will have to do for now until I can see you again and tell you everything. You have touched my life in so many ways, from big things like taking life a little bit easier to even little things like putting pepper on my chips! (yes i still do it now and it makes me think of you every time!) But these are things that are so important to me nomatter how small they are because they came from you.
Thinking about how much we have missed is too hard but I know you are watching over us all, protecting us from heaven like you did when you were here. I think about you every single day and it puts a smile on my face even though it breaks me inside.
Happy Birthday for Thursday Angel. I love you and miss you from the bottom of my heart xxxx

I haven't written on here for a while. Just at times when I am feeling low and I don't know what to do, I think I will write a little message to you.
Everything you did made me proud, and I looked up to you like you were my hero, but you were more. I felt safe around you at all times, and never had a bad moment in your presence. To have just one more hour with you I would give anything.
Thinking about our memories makes me laugh, and sometimes cry, but I have been given the biggest honour of my entire life in being asked to be the godfather of your younger brother and sister, and I will be the best godfather in the world I promise you.
I can't help but feel sad after every great moment, everything I do to this day that makes me really happy, as you are not there to share the moment with me. You had a great group of friends and they stick together, to help each other through.
I wish to be half the man you were, and I do not go a minute without thinking about you. One day we will meet again, and I look forwards to it for the rest of my life.
Tonight I was reminded of the time we did something on New Years' Eve a few years ago, haha, I cannot say what but you know what I am talkin about. Everything that makes me laugh, I want to share with you and it gets me mad that I can't. There is a lot of people in my life who I love and I let them know this all the time. I just wish I got to tell it to you, you meant the world to me, I loved you with all my heart and I know you know it, I just wish I got to say it, and hear you say it back, although I know you loved me too.
Miss you so much
