Obituary: Brawner, Collette Michelle
Collette was born in Spokane WA, on October 6, 1987.
She was 27 years old and loved by all that were fortunate enough to have known her.
Collette graduated from Ferris High School in 2006 and then studied for two years at the University of Idaho.
The better part of the last six years was spent living and working in Nevada and in California.
As a little girl, her love of gymnastics grew to a love of dance.
Her artistic expression evolved over the years to a love of photography, modeling and acting.
She had a determined and ambitious nature, propelling her to excel in racing sports cars, and learning how to fly a plane and helicopter.
Fluent in French, Collette loved her travels to Europe with her family and friends.
She spent her most recent years traveling the world with her companion, John Morris.
She was forever young at heart and had a playful sense of humor.
She had a love for animals that was most evident in her affection for Mango, the family feline.
We are thankful for the too short of time we had with Collette.
We will treasure her radiant smile, her fun-loving, mischievous personality and the joy she brought to all who took the time to get to know her.
We will hold Collette close in our minds and our hearts.
Let every sunflower remind us of our fondest memories.
She leaves behind her parents, Holly and Randy, three brothers, Tony and his girlfriend Annie, Matt and his wife Val and son Sebastian, and her twin Calvin and his girlfriend Chelsea.
In addition, she leaves behind her grandparents and many aunts, uncles, and cousins.
