Obituary

Collin Randall Kent, 22, of Perryton, Texas, was born on September 7, 1995.  He passed away on February 12, 2018 as result of a tragic vehicle accident.  Collin was preceded in death by his grandmother, Jeanette Ann Davis, of Perryton, Texas. Collin is survived by his loving parents, Alicia Zabin and Vic Robertson of Dallas, Texas; his sister, Macy Zabin of Dallas, Texas; his grandparents Kim and Bart Zabin of Houston, Texas, Linda Caldwell of Davis, Oklahoma and Woody Robertson of Columbia Falls, Montana.  He was also loved by his aunt and uncles Deanna and Jerry Padilla of Frisco, Texas and David Zabin of Dallas, Texas, and numerous caring cousins and friends. Collin graduated from Plano Senior High School in May of 2014. He was in a relationship with Sydney Belair since 2011.  He attended Collin County College and planned on resuming his studies in the Computer Science field this upcoming fall season. Collin was a natural warrior where he attained a purple belt in mixed martial arts, was studying wing chun, and recently took up rock climbing.  He was a self-taught piano player, legendary story teller, and it wasn’t out of the ordinary to have him pull pranks or find any reason to talk with an accent and convince others he was from another country. Through school Collin was a part of ROTC, participated on yearbook staff, and tutored kids because he loved giving back and making new friends.  As a tribute to Collin for his love of art and music the family wishes Memorial Donations be made on his behalf to Art & Seek at www.artandseek.org. Collin was a light that shone brightly and he will be missed by everyone who had been blessed to know him.  He was an energetic, loving, and caring young man we all were proud to call loving son, grandson, nephew, and most of all friend. Collins funeral services will be held on Tuesday, February 20, 2018, at 1:00 p.m. at Preston Trail Community Church in Frisco, Texas. From Vic, his father – Collin saved my life when I was 27. He was such an integral part of my life, as he was all of you. Collin, your legacy will live on. I miss you padawan.

"If I could give 6 stars I would. Aria made a difficult easier to deal with by basically taking care of everything in an efficient but very empathetic manner. I can speak highly enough of Dusty Martin, who helped us with all of the planning and logistics. He was incredibly understanding and helpful."

"Nothing prepares you for the grief you go through when losing a child. I called this funeral home at 2:00 am broken and could barely talk. The amount of compassion and empathy they showed me immediately let me know I found the right place to cremate my son. I cannot thank them enough for their professionalism, SINCERE concern, and commitment to making sure my son was honored in the most respectful way. I hope this Funeral home values her as much as my family and I do."

"I can’t say enough about how helpful and professional Dusty Martin, the funeral director at the Aria Cremation location on NW Highway has been. From my initial call, he was kind and informative. My friend died at home while on hospice and she was picked up in about an hour after receiving the call from the hospice nurse. The person who arrived to pick her up was also very professional/respectful and allowed us to take as much time with her as we wished. When I met with Dusty the next day about arrangements, he explained the process and options available without being pushy or trying to “sell” extras. Throughout the process, he kept me informed and, for example, was careful to be certain I understood the cost of the obituary I wanted and offered some options for reducing that cost if I wished. When I stopped by for another reason and started talking about some of the problems I was having with the pictures and media I hoped to use at a memorial lunch I was planning, he not only listened patiently but offered technology advice and let me use his personal media player. I have had experience arranging cremations for four others using two other local companies, and this experience with Dusty at Aria has been by far the best one I have had."

"My Daddy’s service and our family experience at Aria Northwest Highway was truly blessed. Funeral Director Dustin Martin is the kind of person that you would like to see on a more regular basis – but in his industry – you hope to not see him that often. That being said – THANK YOU DUSTIN for your unending kindness, compassion and friendship through the process. Meeting you and discussing Dallas History, Find A Grave and my Dad’s lifelong contributions to the great City of Dallas was simply wonderful! In memory of my dad James A. Dodd, Sr. – I want to personally thank you and let you know that you made everything better in that moment. Your calling to “Be There” is spot on. Aria has a one in a million guy in you! Bling Blinky of TEXAS Shout Out: God Bless You!!"
