Michael John Collins, Sr.

Michael Collins Sr., born on February 17, 1945, in Lawrence, MA, passed away on April 16, 2025, leaving behind a legacy of love, hard work, and strength. A dedicated truck driver for over 50 years, Michael was predeceased by his beloved wife, Donna Collins, and his parents, Sabina and John Collins.

He is survived by his six children: Michael (and his partner Beverly), John (and his wife Lisa), James (and his wife Jen), Cynthia, Cathleen (and her partner Adam), and Ellen. He was a proud grandfather to 14 grandchildren—Sean (and his wife Faith), Caylee (and her husband Joseph), Cherie, Mackenzie, Samantha, Olivia, Ryan, John-Paul, Alex, Brandon, Patrick, Chantelle, Mia, and Marcy—and five great-grandchildren (Sky, Charlie, Liam, Everleigh, and Emery), all of whom brought him great joy.

Michael's life was defined by his devotion to family and his strong work ethic, forged over decades behind the wheel. He will be remembered for his resilience, kindness, and the deep love he had for those closest to him.
