Born on May 9, 1991, in Columbia, Tennessee, Colton was the beloved son of Regina and Adam Kinney. He was a 2009 graduate of Columbia Central High School.

Colton, who courageously lived his life with special needs, was a remarkable source of joy, light, and laughter to everyone around him. He was hilarious, exceptionally smart, and always a cut-up. His joyful spirit could brighten even the darkest days, and anyone who met him quickly grew to love him. He enjoyed playing on the computer, tinkering with robots and vacuums, and watching his favorite shows: Legends of the Hidden Temple, SpongeBob SquarePants, and Mickey Mouse. Colton found joy in outings at Chuck E. Cheese, a place he loved for its games, fun atmosphere, and good food. He loved the holidays, especially carving pumpkins and participating in his family’s annual pumpkin bonfire. Each year at Thanksgiving, he delighted everyone by naming the two turkeys “Tom” and “Linda,” a tradition that will forever bring smiles to those who loved him. Colton thrived when he was around people and treasured every moment spent with his family. Most importantly, Colton was a Christian and loved Jesus above all. He will be deeply missed.

In addition to his parents, he is survived by his brother, Keaton Kinney, grandmother, Nancy Cosden, aunts and uncles, Pamela Huckaby, Kim (David) Smithson, Jody McCaray, Garth McCaray, Joseph Wells, and cousins, Brian (Jaclyn) Huckaby, Justin (Shannon) McCaray, Haley McCaray, Gunner Smithson, Dakota (Layah) Smithson, and Kayla (Nick) Peraza.
