Michael Talmadge Colwell Junior

Michael T. Colwell, Jr. of Cumming went to be with the Lord on Sunday, May 4, 2008. He was born June 27, 1976 in Monroe, Louisiana. Michael was a staff member and pastor at North Point Community Church in Alpharetta, GA.

Michael was diagnosed with melanoma just over 2 years ago. Michael is my cousin. (His father & my father are brothers.) The one thing that overwhelms me about Michael & all that he went through the last few years is his faith. His & that of his wife, Jennifer. They clung so closely to God with faith so steadfast & trust so unswerving. Jennifer still is. It is absolutely inspirational to read her emails & see the strength & love in her words for God, Michael & their two sons, Kaleb (will be 5 in June) & Noah (3). When God says that He'll give us peace that surpasses all understanding, it's not an idle promise.

Michael started a blog not too long ago & you can read about his journey & his family here.
There has been a fund set up to help out Jennifer, Kaleb & Noah financially. If you would like to contribute, you can send a tax-deductible gift to:
