His early years were filled with visits to hospitals all around the United States for treatments and surgeries. At two years old, his parents were told he wouldn’t live past the age of four. But Christian was always the exception. At the age of seven, he underwent a bone marrow transplant in Berlin, Germany that helped put his immediate life-threatening issues behind him. As he defied all odds and grew older, Christian became an inspirational leader serving as a national spokesperson for Caddy For A Cure. He even spread his message as a caddy for Bubba Watson at The Masters golf tournament. His love of law enforcement guided him to serve as a member of the Lamar County Sheriff’s Office and, later, to launch a security company, Nighthawk Services. Christian always had a deep love for family, the military, and law enforcement - not to mention his animals, hockey, golf, western US history, food, and talking. He was an inspirational example, making the most of his twenty-four bonus years by loving life, caring for people, building deep relationships and sharing his love of Jesus. Christian’s heart of loving service will always guide us as we help the law enforcement community he cared for so much.. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6180037c355c0f2166aaee95/4d0d9172-c7f5-4237-88c0-705e83418611/Screen+Shot+2021-11-02+at+5.07.53+PM.jpg About - About Christian’s Touch Christian's Touch provides emotional and financial support, always grounded in Christ, to Georgia’s Law Enforcement Officers and their families who have suffered a catastrophic event.

To say we were young and foolish might just be an understatement but somehow God, in his mercy, saw fit to bless us with five beautiful sons and then to graft a precious daughter into our family. Two of our sons, Christian and Calen, have a rare genetic disease called Fanconi Anemia. Through their trials, God has remained faithful and continued to teach us what it means to grow more like Him. Daily we fail, but daily we continue to try to honor the Lord. We tried to raise our children to love Jesus, love and serve others, and to love our country. When Christian passed on August 27, 2021, a giant hole, that cannot be filled on this side of heaven, was left in our family but we all know we must carry on until we see him again. Colby, Cameron, Connor, Calen, Francine and their families choosing to honor their brother through Christian’s Touch makes this mom and dad so very proud. We know that Christian would approve. Christian had many loves in his life; God, family, country, history, golf, and law enforcement. His small size and many health issues prevented him from becoming an officer through the traditional route but he was never deterred from that goal. The day he was officially deputized by the good and honorable Sheriff of Lamar County was one of his happiest moments. His heart was always with the men and women in blue and he maintained friendships with federal, state and local law enforcement officers throughout the world. Our family hopes to continue to honor and support these officers who willingly serve and protect us all. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6180037c355c0f2166aaee95/10902332-6a03-4a19-9e5d-c30ce02a73c5/1I0A2901.jpg The Collins Family - Colby Collins Tobias Keene, D.D.S.

I graduated from Tattnall Square Academy in Macon, Georgia and went on to attend the University of Georgia. In September of 2019, while living in Washington, D.C., I married my wife Amy Vardeman of Hiawassee, Georgia. In early 2021, Amy and I would move back to Macon where we both currently live. What a blessing it was the Lord called on us to move home, completely unaware of what was in store. Those months spent with Christian in Macon, surrounded by the rest of our family and their abundant love, are times that I will never forget. Christian was such an amazing human being and the best big brother that you could ever ask for. His touch had a way of penetrating your soul that is not easily described. Anyone who has ever hugged Christian knows exactly what I am talking about. My favorite thing about Christian, often overlooked in the moment, was how no matter where you were, what you had going on, or what kind of mood you were in, he would find you, climb on your lap and just lay there. Often times he would want to talk about hockey or a new piece of law enforcement equipment he had gotten. Many times, however, he would just lay there….in silence….knowing that no words needed to be said. I will miss those moments for the rest of my life but I am comforted knowing that he is in HEAVEN with JESUS and that his legacy will live on here long after we are all reunited at the side of our Lord. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6180037c355c0f2166aaee95/3d83fc33-2984-417e-ada0-0fa68be64cd2/1I0A2984.jpg The Collins Family - Connor Collins Tobias Keene, D.D.S.

I was born in Florida in 1998. Christian and I had many things in common. Like Christian, I too was born with a rare genetic disease called Fanconi Anemia. I underwent my bone marrow transplant in Cincinnati, Ohio in 2002. Since then, I have been diagnosed and treated for mouth cancer twice. I am in remission, and for that I am thankful. Christian and I spent most of our time together; I miss him so much. I am so glad to have had so many fond memories with him. I remember when our brother Colby was playing high school football and Christian and I would go to “the little field” wearing our matching Batman backpacks we would be typing messages back and forth and crawling around acting like we were spying on people. I miss him so much…even his not so funny jokes! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6180037c355c0f2166aaee95/e541f3e7-abca-4d6e-a623-36b1f117263d/1I0A3003.jpg The Collins Family - Francine Sauer Tobias Keene, D.D.S.

Once receiving my Law Enforcement certification, I emersed myself in the culture and developed and thirst for training and real-world work experiences. I have amassed thousands of training hours and hold numerous specialized certifications through Georgia Department of Public Safety. I have spent the majority of my career on Patrol as a shift Sergeant. I have had the pleasure of training and working alongside some of the bravest men and woman in Law Enforcement profession. My progression through the Sheriff’s Office has led me into the Training Division where hopefully I can still make an impact on a young officer ability to perform at a higher level and continue to service the community that I love. “I GOT INTO ENFORCEMENT THINKING THAT I COULD CHANGE THE WORLD AND MAKE A DIFFERENCE, LITTLE DID I REALIZE THAT THE WORLD WAS CHANGING ME AND MOLDING ME INTO THE MAN THAT I HAVE BECOME, I KNOW THAT I AM ROUGH AND FLAWED AND SEE THE WORLD THROUGH THE EYES OF AN OLD STREET COP BUT I STILL HAVE HIGH HOPES THAT I CAN STILL MAKE A CHANGE AND A DIFFERENCE IN SOMEONES LIFE.” Guy C, Fussell, Jr https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6180037c355c0f2166aaee95/08209eda-10e3-4e2f-868a-ccec121856ce/IMG_7370.JPG Law Enforcement Board - William Schwab Tobias Keene, D.D.S.

I have never met someone who lived the example it’s not the size of the man in the fight it is the size of the fight in the man! I met Christian the first time in 2016. We quickly became fast friends. Christian & I struck up a conversation within 5 minutes of meeting and that lasted the better part of 6 years, he would call me or text me at random times with questions about Robert the Bruce, Jesse James and Free Masonry. Sometimes I’d wake up to texts from him at 4:30AM, and if I didn’t answer right away, he would call me right after he got up. He loved talked about his pets especially Wilbur his pet pig. Outside of my wife & three daughters he was the only other person who I always picked up the phone for & if by chance I missed his call I am glad I have a few voice mails saved from him because I do find myself listening to them. He never told me how sick he was and when I would ask him his reply was “you have to worry about your family”. But he was family and will remain a Brother to me. Last time I saw Christian we were talking outside the hotel, and it was late, so I say to him “come on let me walk you back to your hotel room”. We get on the elevator and take it to the floor he was staying on; he then takes me on a walk around the floor and he gives me a sly smile because he wanted to hang out as long as he could. I run a charity golf outing and last year and every year going forward there is a sign in Christian’s memory, last year I cried like a baby looking at it. His passing hit home, I learned through him that WE ONLY DIE ONCE, BUT WE LIVE EACH DAY SO MAKE IT COUNT https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6180037c355c0f2166aaee95/2c0fe3cf-5835-4955-973c-d2a78276af4a/ted+scott.jpeg Let me tell you a story about Christian.... - Ted Scott Christian was hilarious! His wit and fun loving spirit was infectious. I always enjoyed being around he and Calen. He had such a great attitude which was inspiring to many! Miss you bud! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6180037c355c0f2166aaee95/565906c0-dcec-49a2-9da4-35de0fd942d0/Randy.png Let me tell you a story about Christian.... - Randy Nantz From the first day I met Christian, I loved his outlook and perspective. He was also quite witty and had a great sense of humor. His determination and zest for life were inspiring. Some of the funniest stories shared was about how Russ and him pulled jokes on each other throughout the years. One of my most favorite times occurred when I was unable to play one year, and I got to ride the cart with those two the entire day. To me that was priceless. It was a day full of laughter and fun. One of my favorite pictures is of him, Calen, and Eleanor. Christian was an inspiring young man full of character and attitude. I cherish the times spent with him, laughing about something or the other. I will always miss him, but I will never forget him. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6180037c355c0f2166aaee95/5b1ef56b-d657-44b0-b69f-a8e0e9009bc9/Ed+S.jpeg Let me tell you a story about Christian.... - Ed Salau Christian’s impact hit me hard when we first met. He was just Christian, and his engaging personality shifted me away from what should have been the shock of meeting a man with Fanconi anemia. He was such an impressive man. I was amazed by his love and knowledge of history, freemasonry, and law enforcement. But, his sense of humor fueled our more frequent conversations. For example, one day, while drinking beers after a Caddy event, he shared a story about a waitress he had recently encountered. He said the server laughed and chuckled when he ordered a beer, as though he was a child. He said he casually flashed his driver license and said to her “Read it, bitch.” I loved that about Christian. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6180037c355c0f2166aaee95/c75eb612-51cf-4adc-b0e1-6bc36218e1f2/roger+clemmons.jpeg Let me tell you a story about Christian.... - Roger Clemens I remember on the tee box at one of the golf outings a fan handed me a baseball to sign. At that time Christian was there with me and I started to show him how I held (gripped) my pitches to throw the baseball at different speeds. I showed him the 4-Seam fastball and said I throw this pitch between 95 mph and 100 mph. Christian said “I love the heat, but show me the splitty!” (Referring to my split finger fastball) I knew from that moment on I had another pitching coach! “HOOK EM ” -TOUGH ALL DAY- “ROCKET” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6180037c355c0f2166aaee95/dff39d98-8d23-452c-9b40-8f59ff0fcdc1/unnamed4.jpeg Let me tell you a story about Christian.... - Boss Denny Wisely “Christian Collins was an inspiration to all who had the privilege of meeting him. Always upbeat, always a smile on his face. He came to see many Blue Angel Air Shows and was as much an attraction as the team. He made an effort to seek out the police officers at the airshows and tell them how much he admired what they were doing. He may have been short in stature, but he was tall in character. Christian had the ability to touch the heart of everyone. Christian’s infectious personality rubbed off on all of us.” Blue Angel Boss Denny Wisely https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6180037c355c0f2166aaee95/f1350097-5130-4711-b38c-2cc5b188bdde/unnamed3.jpeg Let me tell you a story about Christian.... - Shaun “Linus” Swartz “Christian was one of those guys that just made us all better. I think we would all agree on that. I was fortunate to cross paths with Christian many times over the past 15 years or so, usually at airshows or other Blue Angels events (somehow I was never granted access to all of the really super cool golf outings he was a part of…like Augusta!). Certainly my most vivid, and probably my favorite memory of spending time with Christian was at the Blue Angels reunion dinner at the Naval Aviation Museum in Pensacola, FL for their 65th anniversary. Christian and I were at the same table for dinner and he had just a running diatribe of one-liners, jokes, good-natured harassment and the sort, all night long. I’m not even sure that I finished my dinner because I was too busy laughing all night. This was what being with Christian was like. Laughter, smiles, family. He made you forget about all the little things we all tend to focus energy on, and just enjoy LIFE!” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6180037c355c0f2166aaee95/22893123-a7f5-4464-9131-69e91fc9de8e/unnamed.jpeg Let me tell you a story about Christian.... - General James Myers “Christian was a fearless, humorous, and courageous person who happened to have Fanconi Anemia. He was fearless in everything he did…humorous and fearless in trash talking the elite golfers of the world by phone, text or in-person...or asking a 2-star general why I kneel to talk to him when he doesn’t kneel to talk to me. Courageous and fearless in fighting the incredible and numerous health battles and smiling every day he was doing so. That smile on his face sitting in the “tricked out” Pontiac Trans-Am…it is an iconic memory I will never forget. We were all blessed to have known Christian and we miss him every day!” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6180037c355c0f2166aaee95/a24b316e-8ac6-4cda-878c-b438d6eb4aa4/Untitled6.jpg Let me tell you a story about Christian.... - Stephen “Kup” Kupcha I started my journey serving with SEAL Team One, SEAL Team Seven and Naval Special Warfare Advanced Training Command leading the Tactical Communications training pipeline. After my time in the Navy, I ran Birdies for the Brave for the PGA TOUR. This is where I met Christian, and forged a lasting friendship. Of all my adventures, being part of Christian’s Touch is the most fulfilling. Christian was a great friend who has changed my life for the better. Most would argue that during my military career I was surrounded by the toughest men on earth. I might have agreed if it was any day prior to that fateful Military Appreciation ceremony during the 2009 PLAYERS Championship. That day I met a young man tougher and harder than I could ever dream to be. I am looking forward to supporting the men and women in Law Enforcement and their families through Christian’s Touch because that is what my friend, my hero, Christian Collins, would want.” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6180037c355c0f2166aaee95/18c825ec-2186-43ad-a8d8-c15a4a77c30e/Untitled7.jpg Let me tell you a story about Christian.... https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6180037c355c0f2166aaee95/b449f48d-b048-44c2-a5e4-d559b3b34c77/Untitled4.jpg Let me tell you a story about Christian.... https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6180037c355c0f2166aaee95/0795003f-a58f-4431-95e3-fc68c4a14f2c/Untitled12.jpg Let me tell you a story about Christian.... https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6180037c355c0f2166aaee95/e4419d8e-5fb6-4313-9c63-1d2ae8b48fcc/unnamed.jpg Let me tell you a story about Christian.... https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6180037c355c0f2166aaee95/48aededf-57c5-466d-80dc-9843cf149229/IMG_7370.jpg Let me tell you a story about Christian.... https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6180037c355c0f2166aaee95/0c6e7dd3-d0b5-47cc-8849-006fc19ee6fb/ricketson.jpg Let me tell you a story about Christian.... https://www.christianstouch.org/apply-for-help daily 0.75 2026-03-16 https://www.christianstouch.org/application-form daily 0.75 2022-02-07 https://www.christianstouch.org/testimonials daily 0.75 2026-01-21 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6180037c355c0f2166aaee95/1658940477538-TAGRVYHNDHI9TSTBDA2K/IMG_8261.jpg Testimonials https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6180037c355c0f2166aaee95/1658940565333-3XTHD7MSU2KVW0IUXGR7/IMG_7170.jpg Testimonials https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6180037c355c0f2166aaee95/cb1b13e8-9f44-48b3-a1a3-3a51a5396257/baby.jpg Testimonials https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6180037c355c0f2166aaee95/dc50148b-8485-47b6-9728-ea3478ddae95/FB_IMG_1635240326394.jpg Testimonials https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6180037c355c0f2166aaee95/a7a9d743-17e1-4c14-9582-d08ec38e0c46/j+Cuda.jpeg Testimonials https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6180037c355c0f2166aaee95/2861b5b4-7786-4132-a47b-4c611d2b2c32/IMG_4984.jpg Testimonials https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6180037c355c0f2166aaee95/56e7da43-bf8a-4832-b1a3-adb706c4219a/IMG_6228.jpg Testimonials https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6180037c355c0f2166aaee95/0c3c8c17-fc2e-4987-af1f-07d454843c78/IMG_8309.jpg Testimonials https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6180037c355c0f2166aaee95/fbc8968f-330f-4df4-a6e3-b3c40a83b19e/Rogers+Family.jpg Testimonials https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6180037c355c0f2166aaee95/f4d20d6c-24ee-458e-83f4-33a95f02021b/King+Family+Photo.jpg Testimonials https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6180037c355c0f2166aaee95/dab26d39-029c-49d0-844e-4c5765b09f84/Linda+T.jpg Testimonials https://www.christianstouch.org/community-outreach daily 0.75 2022-08-01 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6180037c355c0f2166aaee95/226ba61a-8e7d-4023-8bee-d3960dffb1df/luncheon+first+responder.JPG Community Outreach https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6180037c355c0f2166aaee95/91d66495-43f8-403b-874a-31863262a583/connor+and+p+board.jpg Community Outreach https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6180037c355c0f2166aaee95/bb648a53-cb9c-4488-9728-1a5aae6a1fa4/Susan+Engaging+-+GT.jpg Community Outreach https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6180037c355c0f2166aaee95/0246f355-c7bf-4ca8-b78a-c2ebd8fe291a/IMG_3251.jpg Community Outreach https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6180037c355c0f2166aaee95/6a74a5a4-e1a5-4bbd-96b9-e79b6d688706/lamar.jpg Community Outreach https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6180037c355c0f2166aaee95/0fde5bd6-e45f-461d-837b-56171b8f4914/293368960_440242338144506_8473613735855753734_n.jpeg Community Outreach Jays Hope Camp 2022 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6180037c355c0f2166aaee95/5cf9bc1c-ae83-4e28-84fa-1ad2bd7f5efa/chaplains.jpg Community Outreach https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6180037c355c0f2166aaee95/f128d8a8-f949-4701-a0ed-650405634c4d/IMG_0307.jpeg Community Outreach https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6180037c355c0f2166aaee95/4118d772-bed3-421f-857c-6187f13ba3de/chief+of+police.jpg Community Outreach https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6180037c355c0f2166aaee95/54045165-dff7-4802-96d0-5550f03a4f07/IMG_0467.jpeg Community Outreach https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6180037c355c0f2166aaee95/d1e0f36d-1cef-4320-9975-06ef3ab1da37/IMG_0870.jpeg Community Outreach https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6180037c355c0f2166aaee95/401c0861-7db6-43c3-8c3d-472c1f408d12/IMG_3185.jpg Community Outreach https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6180037c355c0f2166aaee95/bfcdd8f0-a8a4-4f5b-b41f-96be0f3e5dd7/IMG_3180.jpg Community Outreach
