Branden E. Collins, 11, the son of Raymond D. and Linda (Williams) Collins of Mason City, accidentally died August 3, 1980. He was a passenger on a small motocycle driven by his brother Shane Collins. The boys were riding the bike at a family reunion held in WKW Park near Hampton, IA. They were riding the bike around the outskirts of the park and came out of the park through a road ditch onto the gravel road, directly into the path of a four-wheel drive pick-up truck. The motorcycle was broken in half and the boys were thrown, along with the bike, about 40 feet down the road.

Branden was born June 2, 1969. He played hockey in the Mason City Youth Hockey Association for the past 3 years. The game had become an integral part of his young life.

Brenden enjoyed the outdoors and was an animal lover. He also enjoyed playing electric guitar, especially to annoy his brother who liked to sleep in late on summer mornings.

Brenden is greatly missed by his parents and grandparents.

[Interment was made at Memorial Park Cemetery, Mason City, Iowa.]
