On May 16, 1972 in Camden, New Jersey, Florence and Mel Collins were blessed with a wonderful gift, a vibrant baby boy – Brett Roher Collins.  He peacefully transitioned into his eternal life on July 16, 2019, after a brave battle with MS.

Brett leaves to cherish his memory, his parents, his sister, Treca Lynn Adams, his grandmother, June Norwood, nieces, Azalie and Mia Adams, aunt, Geraldine Mitchell, uncles, Ulysses Ervin Roher, Jr., William Thomas Roher, Rev. Dr. John Norwood (Tonya), Charles Bell, Jr., and a host of loving cousins and friends.

He attended Pleasant Valley Elementary School, Moorestown Middle School and graduated from Moorestown High School in 1990.  Brett loved sports, playing basketball, football and soccer. While in high school, Brett pursued many interests that fueled his passions later, being recognized in  Theatre Arts, acting in a number of theatrical productions, winning numerous   English awards, honing his skills in the martial arts, playing Varsity Football, coaching the Moorestown Recreation Boys’ Basketball league, as well as working for the Camden Recreation League.

As a high school senior, Brett surprisingly made the decision to join the United States Army.  The army was the likely choice, as he relayed, “he didn’t want to be in the air, and he didn’t want to be on water.” He shared that the Army would help instill perseverance, discipline, adaptability, and would afford him the opportunity to travel to other countries, as well as expose him to different cultures.  Brett was trained on the M1A1 computerized tanks for the Armored Cavalry Regiment.  During his military service, Brett was stationed in Fulda, Germany and was a Gulf War Veteran serving in Operation Desert Storm, being honorably discharged in 1993
