Shocked and saddened by the news. Always had time for my family and friends. Had a few troubles the “Kid”, but deep down had a good heart. #ripcol

Sending love and prays to Colin Sylvia’s beautiful family during this extremely difficult time. ‘the Kid’ was full of life, a work horse, popular figure around the club & always thought of others before himself. Life’s to short

Absolutely Shocked...... Thoughts are with Colin’s family. One that lived life to the fullest. Will be missed by so many. #rip

Shocked and saddened hearing the news about my old mate Colin Sylvia! My thoughts and prayers go out to his beautiful family, and all close to him. He had a heart of gold, and he will be missed dearly. R.I.P kid! ❤️

Absolutely saddened by the news about Col. A tragedy, we’re all still in shock! You were always a great person to my family and I. We had so many good times together. My thoughts are with his family at this time.

Like many, feeling so sad about the loss of Colin Sylvia. Packed many highs and lows into his short life, but always generous, keen to put a smile on the face of whoever was in his company. First to volunteer to visit a sick kid or an elderly Demon supporter, and stay for hours. Such heartbreak for his family and his teammates. Rest easy Col.
