Calvin B. Collins Sr.

On December 6, 2016, our beloved Calvin Bruce Collins, Sr was called home to the Lord. Calvin was born on June 30, 1958 to CB and Shirley Collins in Ft. Worth, TX. He lived in Waco, TX. Calvin’s love for travel made his choice of profession a perfect match. As a cattle truck driver for Tommy Thigpen Cattle Company, Calvin could travel and see the country. He never met anyone who didn’t quickly become his friend. In his spare time, he loved to BBQ and tell tall tales. Calvin was proud to be the father of his only child, Calvin Collins, Jr. Calvin is preceded in death by his paternal grandparents, Calvin Barton Collins & Birdie Mae Finley Collins; maternal grandparents, Robert Bruce Collins and Beulah Wilson Collins, his parents, CB Collins and Shirley Collins; and his sister, Judy Coleman. Calvin is survived by his son, Calvin Collins, Jr. and his wife, Jessica Collins; their three children, Adeline, Trais and Tae all of Pleasanton, TX.; siblings, Kathy Garcia, Gary Collins, and Reba Brown, all of Waco, TX; and Lea McDonald and her husband, Robert McDonald of San Angelo, TX; his remaining uncle and aunt, Bobbie Collins and his wife, Pat of San Angelo, TX and countless cousins, nieces, nephews and friends. Visitation will be at Harpers Funeral Home throughout the day on Friday, December 9. Graveside services will be held on Saturday, December 10, 2016 at 10am at Fairmount Cemetery.
