Colton Randal Edwards, of Valley Springs, Arkansas passed away January 13, 2017 at the age of 21.

The son of Randy and Kim (Potter) Edwards was born October 20, 1995 at Fayetteville, Arkansas.

Colton was a graduate of the Valley Springs Class of 2014, and graduated from Missouri Auction School in 2014. He was a lifelong farmer and loved each day he could get out and work cattle.

He never met a stranger, and any time spent with Colton was an adventure. He was never too busy to help anyone who asked, as long as it was not sale day. Colton loved life. He always had a smile on his face, he never had a bad day.

Colton was engaged to be married in April, and he loved LaBecca with his whole heart. He was so happy he had found the one to spend the rest of his life with.

He was preceded in death by his grandfathers, Sherman "Pete" Edwards and Freddy Potter.
