Poetic Obituaries: Students and teachers remembered [Jeremy] Collins

as a poet, a visual artist and filmmaker enrolled in Drake's Communications Academy, one of the school's integrated studies programs. A frequent traveler, Collins had recently completed a documentary film about his visit to Mongolia with the Global Action and Education Network, a program that brings together teenagers with native peoples in remote parts of the world.

"He was the funniest person I ever knew," said Donnelly, a fellow Communications Academy member. "He could make anybody smile. And he was pretty much gifted in any artistic thing--writing, poetry, drawing. I got to see some of his acting, and he was amazing."
