Colin J. Gassner

My sympathy Dale Ravanelli

Nanette, Gene and Kyle,

We were so heart broken to hear about Colin's passing. Our condolences to your entire family of relatives and friends. Colin was an outstanding individual that all the other kids looked up to. He represented the best of what it is to be a Mayville Cardinal. His athletic achievements will be remembered for a very long in the Mayville community. And to you, we will never forget our adventure crossing the United States racing in RAAM in 2008. You two were the best crew members ever. Paula and Jim

Gene, Nanette and Kyle, Kathy and I extend our condolences to you. May the Lord grant you His peace.

Gene and Nanette, I am so sorry for the loss of your son Colin. Your pain is unimaginable, I will pray that God helps you and your family through your heartache. ❤️🙏

Sending my deepest sympathies in your families loss. Praying for your comfort and peace at this difficult time.

Best - Overall Athlete - I've ever seen!

Love you Brother! You will be missed!

I was a foreign exchange student with Colin during the senior year at Mayville High School. Colin was very welcoming and helped me to adjust to the new environment. I will be forever grateful. Rest in peace dear friend, and my deepest condolences to his family.

The memories of Mayville’s community, parents, administration, fellow teachers, coaches, great friendships, and especially my students & players will never be forgotten. Linda and I can never thank you enough. This feeling, however, could never have been realized though without the Gassner Family. They embraced me as a member of their family. Helped me establish my career and more importantly my family with Linda. I will never be able to thank them enough. Geno and Nannette are like another incredible big brother and sister to the ones i already had.
Kyle and Colin are like my younger brothers I never had. This has never left my heart or soul. Linda and I are truly praying for Geno, Nannette, and Kyle. There are no words how bad i will miss my little brother, but I do know he is not that far away. When I see someone make an incredible play on the court or field and do it with such humbleness, I know he will be nearby.

God Speed

Cousin Nanette, Gene and Kyle--I am so sorry for your loss. I'm not sure if I ever met Colin, but from what I've been reading, he touched many lives and seemed to be quite a well known legend in the Mayville area! Wishing you peace and comfort at this difficult time. I'm sure you have many, many memories that will get you through the hard times. Prayers for everyone whose life he touched and are now mourning.

Gene, Nanette and Family

I’m so deeply sorry for your loss. Colin was such a kind, and wonderful person who touched the lives of everyone he met. My heart and thoughts are with you and your family.

Gene, Nanette, and Kyle,

I was so sad to hear the news about Colin. So many good memories of AAU basketball days traveling around the state and country to tournaments. I always admired his talent and demeanor and was honored to call him a friend. Thoughts and prayers to your family.

We are so very sorry to hear about the loss of your son Colin.
Our prayers go out to you during this difficult time. May God give you strength during this difficult time.

Absolute condolences to Gene, Nanette and family.

I didn't know Colin personally but Gene was my basketball coach in JV and Colin was 2 years ahead of me in school. I have so many fond memories watching Colin light up and lead on both the football field and basketball courts at Mayville High. The '94 football team he quarterbacked is legendary. LEGENDARY. In basketball, I still have vivid memories of Colin draining 3's and running back down the court in jubilation in front of packed gyms. In my opinion, Colin was the best athlete ever at Mayville High.

Rest in heavenly peace, good sir. And thank you for the memories.

Words can’t explain how heart broken we are to hear of your passing. You came into our lives when we needed him the most, you loved and cared for us and our mother more than anyone ever has. You were such a light in our home filling it with lots of laughter and brightness. You raised us like we were his own kids and you will forever be the best father figure in our lives. We are forever grateful to have had such a man look out for us and help guide us on our journeys to adulthood and now he gets to watch over and protect us as we grow even more.
Love you always,
Briana, Kayla, Aysha, Savanna,& Devin

Gene and Nanette words cannot describe how sorry I am for your loss. Keep your memories for the hard times may the Lord bring you peace and comfort.

To Gene, Nanette, and Kyle so sorry for the lost of your gifted son and brother. I was happy to have a short visit at the Ryder Cup with him this past summer. Tons of memories of him playing BB for the Randolph Boys Club both Collin and Kyle. You have our deepest condolences.

Had the pleasure of caddying with Colin at Whistling Straits in 2003. I was one of a group of Irish students in WI for the season. He immediately made us welcome and helped us on and off the course. I have many happy memories from the Straits and the time off the course with Colin is one of them.
To his family and friends you are in my thoughts at this hard time.
