THEODORE COLLINS
Theodore "Ted" Collins. Known by all his loved ones as "Ted" passed suddenly but peacefully on Friday, February 18th of natural causes.
Ted was born into a loving family to John and Joanne Collins where he and his brothers John and Greg shared many adventures growing up in the idyllic Waban neighborhood of Newton.
Many days were spent riding bikes, making forts and playing group sports, often arranged by his devoted father who raised his sons and mentored many of their friends throughout their childhood. Early on, Ted's mom recognized his musical talent, enrolled him in piano lessons, and encouraged what became his life-long love of music.
Recently, Ted had the honor to play with the Figgs, and the pleasure of recording many tracks with them on their past few released records. He also rediscovered his love for Grateful Dead music, and had a wonderful opportunity to play with the band Ship of the Sun.
Ted attended Suffolk University Law School and was a member of the Massachusetts Bar Association. He enjoyed contract law, and was proud to follow in the footsteps of his father, who practiced law his entire life.
Ted married the love of his life, Jennifer Collins, in 2000. They moved to Newburyport in 2009. Ted and Jennifer spent the last few years of his life enjoying the beauty of the area, the kindness of their neighbors and the peace of the life they had created.
Ted is survived by his wife Jennifer Collins, his parents John and Joanne Collins, his brothers John Collins and Greg Collins.
A service to celebrate his life will be held at the Belleville Congregational Church on 300 High Street, Newburyport MA. Burial will follow at Oakhill Cemetery in Newburyport.
