MICHAEL EDWARD COLLINS

A private funeral service for Michael Edward Collins of San Rafael, a six-year resident of Marin, was held today.

Collins died Friday at a local hospital from gunshot wounds. He was 31.

Collins was born in Chicago and moved with his parents to the Monterey area as an infant. He attended schools in that area.

He moved to San Rafael about 1974. Collins was a mechanic for the past 13 years and most recently worked at the Graham Automotive Garage in Mill Valley.

He is survived by his wife, Carolyn Collins of San Rafael, and his father, Richard D. Collins of Pebble Beach.

Arrangements were under the direction of Monte’s Mission Chapel mortuary in San Rafael.
