It is with profound sorrow that we share the heartbreaking news of the passing of Colin Feltis, a beloved student of the Science Academy in McAllen, Texas. Colin tragically lost his life in a serious car accident, leaving a community grieving the loss of a bright young mind and cherished friend.
Colin was more than just a student; he was a shining example of curiosity, dedication, and kindness. Before joining the Science Academy, he spent several years at World Scholars, where he made lasting friendships and left a positive impression on classmates and teachers alike. Colin’s passion for learning and discovery was inspiring, and he embraced every opportunity to grow both academically and personally.
To his family, friends, and teachers, Colin was a source of joy and promise. His warm spirit and gentle nature endeared him to those around him, and his laughter and enthusiasm could brighten even the toughest of days. Colin’s dreams and aspirations reflected the potential of a future filled with hope, and his untimely departure is a devastating loss for all who knew him.
The loss of Colin is felt deeply across the entire South Texas ISD community. As we mourn this tragic event, it is crucial that we come together to support one another in this time of grief. Our thoughts and prayers are with the Feltis family as they navigate this unimaginable sorrow. We also extend our heartfelt support to Colin’s fellow students, faculty, and staff, many of whom are struggling to process this loss.
To help with the healing process, additional counselors have been brought in alongside the dedicated campus-based counseling staff at both the Science Academy and World Scholars. It is our hope that through collective strength and compassion, we can provide comfort and support to everyone affected.
Colin’s legacy will live on in the memories of those who loved him and in the impact he made during his time with us. Though his life was tragically brief, his spirit and the light he brought to this community will never be forgotten.
