![]() On June 7th, Colton Trevor Ward, affectionately called, "Boogie," of Nottingham, Pa, unexpectedly passed away at the age of 29. He was born on April 2, 1995 to Todd Ward and the late Sandy Williams Ward. Colton was a graduate of Oxford Area High School. On July 1st, 2017 Colton married the love of his life. During their 10 years together, they raised two daughters. There wasn’t anything he cherished more than his Pais and Chlo. It wouldn’t matter what he was working on or where he was, one of his girls would be by his side. Colton was employed at R.T. Price as a heavy equipment operator. He was a very hard worker, if he wasn’t running equipment or a truck, he was picking up a shovel an helping out where needed. He worked alongside his brother every day and treasured their time together, antics an all. Colton was a master of many trades, there wasn’t anything he wasn’t able to fix. In recent years he took his passion for farming and started his business known as Ward Ag. After working long days, he would come home and go straight to the field. He took great pride in his family and valued his time with them, even if he was making them all work on the farm to get the crop in. When he wasn’t out pursuing his dreams of farming, he was with his daughters who adored him, he was the true definition of a girl dad. He enjoyed taking his family camping and spending time in Potter County at the family cabin. Colton influenced and became a mentor to many young people. He wanted to teach them all of the things he loved whether running equipment, farming, snowmobiling or his signature Boogie wave.
Colton was a good man he would give the shirt off his back to anyone who needed it. Known for his huge heart, quick wit and infectious smile Colton left a lasting impact on everyone he met.
