WHEREAS, The tragic passing of Colton O'Neil Stults on |
|
|
May 27, 2023, at the age of 17, has brought an incalculable loss to |
|
|
all those who knew and loved him; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Born on November 30, 2005, Colton Stults was |
|
|
cherished by his parents, Tim and Kendra Stults, and his younger |
|

grandparents, aunts, uncles, and cousins; he was deeply devoted to |
|
|
his loved ones, and he also drew great strength from his faith; and |

|
becoming a physician at Arkansas Children's Hospital; an excellent |
|
|
student, he earned a score of 33 on the ACT, which placed him in the |
|
|
98th percentile of high school students nationwide; he was admired |
|
|
for his humility and quiet confidence, and he made an impression on |
|
|
everyone around him with his wonderful sense of humor, his |
|
|
creativity, and his enthusiasm for life; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Although his passing leaves a tremendous void, those |
|
|
fortunate enough to have known Colton Stults will forever remember |
|
|
the joy and love that he brought into their lives; now, therefore, |
|

|
|

|
Stults; to his grandparents, Bill and Gail White and Martella |

|
|
and, be it further |
|
|
