Collin Raymond Anthony Blank Obituary

Collin Raymond Anthony Blank, 20, passed away unexpectedly on August 27, 2020, as a result of injuries he sustained in a motor vehicle accident on Eagle River Road. Collin was born in Warren, MI on April 5, 2000. He became a resident of Alaska when his family was stationed at Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson in 2014. Collin attended Eagle River High School, where he was a Captain of the wrestling team and graduated in 2018 as a certified EMT-1. For the past two years, he has worked as an EMT to the homeless community with the Anchorage Safety Patrol/Team One and achieved his EMT-2 certification in 2019. Collin enjoyed hiking with friends, riding his motorcycle, gaming, had a passion for cars, was a volunteer wrestling coach for Rogue Wrestling Club, and aspired to join the Anchorage Fire Department. Collin will be remembered by those who knew him for his positive and selfless nature as well as his easygoing and confident approach to life’s obstacles. He was a beloved son, brother, grandson, nephew, leader, mentor, and champion for the disadvantaged. Collin is survived by his parents, Athony “Tony” and Cory (Phipps) Blank, his younger siblings, Caitlyn and Keegan, and his grandparents Dorothy (Eveland) and Marty Buhrie, Sharon (Knepp) Phipps, William “Bill” Phipps, Nancy Christiansen and William “Bill” Blank.
