Colby was born on the 25th of April 1993. Born on April 25th 1993, Colby resided in Meyerland, Houston Texas all of his life.

Colby loved doing many things but his great interest and love was basketball. He began playing at age seven and played for the YMCA, AAU Leagues and the schools he attended. He made the Memorial High School Basketball Team. You could find him playing in the gym in the evenings where he was told by others he would become better playing against more experience players. He was a member of St. Michael Catholic Church on Sage where he was baptized, made his First Communion and was Confirmed. Colby attended Memorial High School and graduated in 2012. Colby was greatly liked by his teachers, coaches and so many friends. He always had a beautiful smile on his face for everyone and was always giving big bear hugs. He was 6’4” and he made an impression wherever he went. He was planning to attend school and had worked as a Petroleum Inspector.

He is preceded in death by both his grandparents, Mary Muniz and Santos Hernandez and Josephine Heinert-Osorno and Henry Osorno, Sr. Colby is survived by his parents, Gloria Deanda-Osorno and Henry Osorno; brother, Don Deanda (Michele); sisters, Melissa Aucoin, Melanie Theriot and Kayla Marmillion; nephew, Noah Deanda; two nieces; Uncle, Gary Osorno (Susan); Aunt, Cynthia Caravella (Mike); cousins, Chase, Gavin, Bailey, Macey, Ryan and Amanda and many other cousins, aunts and uncles.

“To everything there is a season, a time for every purpose under the heaven: A time to be born, A time to die, A time to plant, And a time to pluck what is planted; A time to kill, A time to heal; A time to break down, A time to build up: A time to weep, A time to laugh, A time to mourn, A time to dance -Ecclesiastes 3: 1-4” (posted by Colby on Facebook, July 20, 2017)
