Obituary for Megan E. Colon
Megan Elizabeth Colon
9/22/93-10/31/21
West Palm Beach, FL — formerly of Middletown, NY
Megan Elizabeth Colon of Middletown, NY sadly passed away on Sunday, October 31, 2021, at St. Mary’s Medical Center in West Palm Beach, FL, four weeks after having a heart surgery. Megan was 28 years old.
The daughter of David and Kathryn Colon, she was born September 22, 1993, in Goshen, NY.
Megan was a proud graduate of Middletown High School and BOCES, with a Certified Nursing Assistant degree.
Megan is survived by her son Jeremiah Jerome Samuels of Lake Worth, FL; parents David and Kathryn Colon of Middletown, NY; brothers Derek and Javier Colon of Middletown, NY; niece Kamilah Isabella Colon of Middletown, NY; grandparents MaryAnn Parenti and David Sigler of Middletown, NY; Louis and Bettie Parenti of Port Jervis, NY, Daniel Hubbard and Nellie Colon of Middletown, NY; aunts: Carol Wilkinson, Amy Parenti, Nina Patano, Dayna Patano, Elizabeth Hartill and Cheryl Colon; uncles Raul Colon, Derek Colon, Mark Wilkinson and Derek Sigler; cousins Jordan Wilkinson, Jenna Wilkinson, Jessie Wilkinson, Saige Colon, Kai Colon, Crew Colon, Killian McQueeney and Lennon McQueeney; best friends Nicole Cafazzo and Ryan Morse. She is survived by several more loving aunts, uncles, cousins and friends. She was predeceased by her great grandparents George and Muriel Petzko, Diego and Isabel Marquez, Louis and Ruth Parenti, William Hartill, and her uncle David Cusa.
Megan was a fearless and resilient spirit. She had unconditional love for her family and friends and was a lifelong lover of animals. She was blessed with countless friends, mentors, and supportive ties through her life. She was so loved by so many.
Megan struggled with addiction for the past eight years. Throughout her battle with substance, she drew from her well of endless inner strength, and the ongoing love and support of family and friends, who never ruled out recovery. In honor of Megan’s legacy, her family asks that onlookers, acquaintances and friends make concerted efforts to educate themselves on the complexities of drug addiction. Drug addiction is a disease that likely impacts someone you know. If you or someone you know is suffering because of addiction, please seek support and treatment.
The family would also like to thank Edward Chionchio for his continued guidance and support of the family.
In lieu of flowers, please provide donations to Eva’s Village, Patterson, NJ - https://www.evasvillage.org or donations to be sent to David or Kathryn Colon for an educational fund for Megan’s son, Jeremiah Jerome.
While we would have given anything for her to remain with us, we take comfort in knowing that Megan is now free from her battle. Our lives are forever changed by the loss of Megan, but we will carry her spirit and legacy forward in our hearts and as a family. Our grief, sense of loss and love for Megan are infinite as her spirit.
A Memorial Service for Megan will be celebrated on Thursday, November 11, 2021, from 1:00-3:30 pm at Applebee-McPhillips Funeral Home, Inc., 130 Highland Ave., Middletown, NY, 10940. Arrangements are made under the direction of Applebee-McPhillips Funeral Home, Inc. www.applebee-mcphillips.com.
