It was a tough day on and off the field for the Cowboy’s community with the news of the tragic passing of one of their own Cowboys Old Boys Chris “Head” Collins.
At Fr Ranger Oval on Sunday a minute’s silence was observed to honour Chris Collins.
The news shocked not only the rugby league and sporting communities but also the entire Southern Downs community.
As tributes poured in for the popular 52-year-old, he was remembered not only as a staunch supporter of the Warwick Cowboys and Collegians but most importantly as a great husband, father and family man to whom family was the centre of his being.
President of the Warwick Cowboys said that while the accolades for Chris will continue, he believes Chris’ greatest football attribute to the community was his love and unbridled support of the great football family that is the Warwick Cowboys.
I too would also like to extend my condolences to Chris Collins family friends and work colleagues.
Chris is survived by wife Jo Collins, children Sophie and Alistair, siblings Jamie Collins and Helen Howard, parents Frank and Rita Collins, and his extended family.
Rest In Peace Chris “Head” Collins “Old Boys” No# 66 you will never be forgotten.
