Those close to Colt would describe him as a compassionate soul who loved Skyrim and rescuing animals. On April 25, 2020, he proclaimed his love for Skyrim on his Facebook page, stating that he would “give up literally anything to just be in Skyrim.” Unbeknownst to his friends and family, that would be his last post, as he sadly took his own life shortly thereafter at just 24 years old.
In fact, that’s the last memory she has of her boyfriend - playing his beloved Skyrim. Raven recalled how they had bonded over the game, Colt at the controller with his girlfriend by his side. He had spent countless hours engrossed in the fifth installment of The Elder Scrolls franchise, released nearly ten years prior. “He had an XBox 360 for the longest time, and Skyrim was one of maybe three games he owned,” she told HeyPoorPlayer. It had been many months since Raven had been able to play Skyrim, the game that had given her boyfriend, Colt, so much joy.
