December 22, 1959 – January 31, 2022
Colin passed away tragically Monday, January 31st, in Saanich, BC. He is survived by his sons Bryden and Landon, siblings Laird, Kirby, and Lisa. He was predeceased by his parents Barbara and Frank Keks of Winnipeg, Manitoba, where he was born and raised.
Colin worked at Coast Appliances in Victoria for many years and was also known in Sidney for his photo finishing business. He will be remembered for the warmth he carried day-to-day, his thoughtful approach to conversation and friendship, and the charisma that left an impression on so many of us.
