September 4th, 1941 - April 13th, 2012

It is with great sadness the family announces the passing of Colin Day, of Kamloops, B.C. Colin passed away peacefully with his family by his side.

He is survived by his devoted, loving wife, Bev of 48 years, his children Sheri-Lynn (Glen), and Craig (Sharla) and his grandsons; Gavin, Carsen and Jackson, as well as nieces, nephews and too many friends to mention.

Colin is predeceased by his parents Cyril and Margaret Day and his brother Bert.

Colin was born in Kamloops, and graduated from KSS in 1959. He married Bev and they raised two wonderful children he was very proud of. Colin worked in the family business, Kamloops Bottling Works for over 30 years and later had other business ventures.

Over his lifetime, he was devoted to many charities and organizations, "Mr. Community Service", active in the Rube band, president of the Wildlife Park for 25 years, active member of the Jaycees for over 20 years, TRU sports taskforce for 30 years, and volunteer president of the Kamloops Blazers for 15 years. He loved reading, movies, hockey, golf, skiing and travelling.

Colin was a man of honor and integrity, who always put his family first. Anyone who knew him knew he had a wonderful way of making people laugh with his witty sense of humor and practical jokes. He was at his happiest in the backyard, entertaining by the pool. He touched many lives and will be greatly missed by his family and friends.

Our sincere thanks to the wonderful nursing care that was given to him in ICU and 7-North.

At Colin's request there will be no formal service, but a celebration of his life. Please join his family on Friday, April 20th, 2012 at 3:00 p.m. TRU Grand Hall.

In lieu of flowers, donations in memory of Colin can be made to the RIH foundation or the TRU foundation.
