In Memory of Sinclaire Collins ❤️ fight Pancreatic Cancer

Hello, our family could really use help and support during this difficult time. My husband passed away on September 19th 2024, on our daughter's 15th birthday, only two months after being diagnosed with cancer. We have four children together and they miss their Dad very much. It's been very hard on them lately with this sudden loss.

My husband, Sinclaire Collins, was diagnosed on July 9th, 2024, with stage 4 terminal pancreatic cancer. It all started on June 26th with an E.R. visit due to leg pain, and we were told it was a blood clot in his leg, Dr wanted to do more tests and after an ultrasound and MRI, we were told it was pancreatic cancer with metastasis to the liver and bones.

My husband suffered from a heart attack a week later on July 17th, where he spent two weeks in the hospital and received a cardiac MRI and also an endoscopy. There we were told he had non-bacterial endocarditis on the heart and also cardiovascular disease. Two weeks later, he had a stroke which really affected him and while he was hospitalized we were told he also had more blood clots that were obstructing blood flow and needed surgery, Drs then performed an IR guided embolectomy surgery to remove them, Doctors were also pushing to start chemotherapy. He finally received his first chemotherapy treatment at Royal Oak Beaumont hospital on August 22nd, 2024. The first three days he had a little nausea, but he was feeling ok and he was discharged on August 25th to come home.

On August 29th, he suffered another stroke, and doctors told us he had also became septic. They could do no more treatments as the chemo made him very sick, there was nothing else they could do and recommended home hospice, he came home on September 19th, 2024, at 1 pm. His hospice nurse was already here awaiting for his arrival, he was transported by ambulance back home.

After giving him pain medicine and checking his vitals she said he may not make it through the night. I was trying to stay strong for him and our children but it hurt knowing he was going at any moment, I comforted him by playing his favorite Kingdom songs and talking to him telling him how strong he was and he had been through so much in the past few months than he had his whole life. I told him it was okay to rest; he deserved to rest and that we would do our best to be okay. He took his last breath at 8:12 pm that same night.

My heart still hurts and I miss him so much, this has been a difficult journey I wouldn't wish on anybody. We were together for 20 years and married for almost 16 years. Our children are 9, 12, 15, and 16 years old. They wake up every day missing their father deeply. He was a hardworking man and had a big heart, he always loved helping everyone around him. We need some help with the costs of obituaries and arrangements to give him a proper memorial. I had spent every day with him at the hospital during those two months, before his diagnosis he was healthy and very active, working everyday and maintaining his preaching work also; he handled everything and always made sure we were okay. The diagnosis hit him hard and everyday it was more bad news from the Dr's, he was determined though and ready to give chemo a try but it left him more sick and weak, we will all definitely be missing him every day; his smile, laugh, and humor were contagious. He was an affectionate man who loved nature and gardening, he was a great chef also, he loved cooking and helping me in the kitchen, the kids still talk about all of the delicious meals he would be making, he loved spending time with our children and he would always find something we could do as a family. He was truly a great guy, an amazing loving father, husband and friend, we will always cherish the memories we have and keep his memory alive as he had the most energetic personality. We will miss you and love you forever and always, Sinclaire ❤️
