Zoey James Colvin

Zoey James Colvin, born on October 23, 2025, passed away peacefully in her parents’ arms on November 17, 2025, after 25 days filled with love, courage, and the sweetest little moments we will hold in our hearts forever.

Though her time on Earth was brief, Zoey’s life was full of meaning. From the moment she arrived, she showed a strength far beyond her tiny body. She fought through every challenge placed before her, surprising doctor, winning over nurses, and capturing the hearts of everyone who followed her story. Zoey brought a light into our family that will never fade. She taught us about hope, resilience, and the deep kind of love that changes you forever.

Zoey is survived by her parents, Chris and Ellie Colvin; her big sister, Gabrielle, and big brother, John. She is also survived by Grandparents Jim and Peggy Coons, Brenda Colvin, and David and Bonita Colvin; and Great-Grandparents Elizabeth Coons, Nancy Gordon, and Clara Annette Robbins. Zoey is additionally loved and survived by many aunts, uncles, and cousins, including Kevin and Elizabeth Sherry, James E. Coons, Joshua Colvin, Kallista Johnson and Jason Lupercio, and Kolten Johnson.

She was preceded in death by John W. Colvin, Charles E. Robbins, Donald N. Gordon, James W. Coons, and Otto and Rudy Schwarz.
