It is with sadness and broken hearts we announce the passing of Ken Collins, our beloved son/brother on December 14, 2018. Ken passed away peacefully with his family by his side after a brief battle with cancer. 

 

Ken is survived by his mother Norma and stepfather Hugh Whitmore (Dad); sisters Carol (Bill) and Brenda (Kerrie); nephew Tristan (whom he loved dearly) as well as many relatives. He is predeceased by his father, Robert in 2010.

 

Ken had a good sense of humour and was bright. He had a passion for building computers, models and his collection of gas powered remote control trucks. Ken spent his years in the roofing industry as a foreman and sheet metal fabricator working up north for long periods of time. He was a hard worker and took great pride in his work.

 

The family would like to thank the Palliative Care staff at Riverview Health Centre for the exceptional care he received. Words cannot say enough.

​

He was a gentle, quiet soul. Another Angel has gone to heaven. May he now have inner peace.

​

Cremation has taken place and a private family service will be held.

 

Those we love don’t go away

They walk beside us every day –

unseen, unheard but always near

Still loved, still missed and very dear
