With heavy hearts and tender remembrance, we share the passing of John Wesley Collins III, who left us on July 21, 2026, in Jacksonville. Born on February 18, 1960, John’s journey through life was marked not just by its years, but by the depth of his spirit and the quiet strength that shaped every chapter along the way. Family, friends, and all whose lives John touched are invited to honor his memory at the burial service to be held on August 11, 2026, at 1:00 PM at Evergreen Cemetery, Jacksonville, Florida (4535 North Main Street, Jacksonville, FL 32206). In coming together, we will celebrate not just the life John lived, but also the enduring imprint he leaves behind in the lives of so many.

Though words will never fully capture the grace and depth of John Wesley Collins III, we hold close the memories, the warmth of his presence, and the love that endures. He is gone from our sight, but never from our hearts.
