Jack Colcord
Berlin

John “Jack” Colcord, age 71, passed away on Monday, June 2, 2025, in Berlin.

Born in New Haven, Connecticut, he was the son of the late Carl and Ruth (Morris) Colcord.  Jack was a beloved husband, devoted father, and dear friend to many.  His greatest roles in life were those of husband and father.  He was fiercely dedicated to his family, always putting them at the center of everything he did.  With a fun-loving spirit and a heart full of kindness, Jack was known for his easy smile and warm greetings. He never met a stranger.

A passionate physical fitness enthusiast, Jack especially loved cycling. He turned that passion into a livelihood, running a successful bike rental business for over 25 years along the boardwalk in Ocean City. Beyond the boardwalk, Jack raced competitively on a national level, continuing to win gold through 2023.

He also shared a deep love of amusement parks with his wife Colleen and son Cannon.  Some of their most joyful moments were spent together at Disney and Universal Studios, where Jack’s playful spirit and sense of wonder shone brightly. Whether racing Cannon to the next ride or simply soaking in the magic of the parks, Jack embraced every experience with childlike joy and genuine enthusiasm.

Jack’s energy, generosity, and love of life touched all who knew him.  His legacy lives on in the countless memories shared with family, friends and the cycling community he loved so much.

He is survived by his wife of 21 years, Colleen Hahn Colcord, a son, Cannon Colcord, a brother, Michael Colcord (Laura) and two nephews, Max Colcord and Lex Colcord.  He also leaves behind an extensive family of in-laws who adored him.

In addition to his parents, he was preceded in death by two brothers, Edward Colcord and Richard Colcord.
