Friends remember Colin Kendra

Former classmates and friends gathered at the high school rock Wednesday July 25th to paint it in remembrance of Colin Kendra. Colin, 21, graduated from Manchester High School, and worked at the Mobil station in town, as well as at Menard’s in Ann Arbor. He died in a car accident in the early hours of July 20th.

His friends, some coming from more than an hour away, took turns painting the rock, making sure everyone had a chance to participate in the memorial. Colin was a University of Michigan fan, so they used blue and yellow paint. He enjoyed fishing, so they made sure to add a fishing hook. Lastly they placed handprints with their names and special messages. “He was a brother to everyone he met,” remembered Jesse Dunny, Colin’s friend and co-worker.

For as little as $1 a month, you can keep Manchester-focused news coverage alive.
