JACK, Colin Edward May 13, 1971 - February 26, 2011 It is with great sorrow that we announce Colin's sudden passing. He leaves behind his father Moseley, siblings Byron and Arietha, uncles and aunts; Kenneth (Joan), Eileen (Norbert), Eulan (Rusty), Mayrose and many cousins in Trinidad, Canada and the U.S.A. He was predeceased by his mother Kathleen, grandmother and grandfather Nora and Ted Eckford. He also leaves behind Uncle Tim (Janet) and Tim's son, Tyler, and Uncle Patrick (Dixie). Colin was born in Kamloops and the family moved to Richmond at the age of 4. He attended Grauer Elem, J.N. Burnette and Richmond High. Colin also attended Kwantalen College and U.B.C. where he obtained his B.A. in 2003 and B. Ed in 2004. After graduation Colin taught summer school in West Van before teaching at St. John private school for the last 4 years. As a youngster and teenager, Colin played soccer, ice hockey and baseball. He also did track and field in elementary school. He was a very talented and natural athlete. Colin travelled to Toronto, New York, Barbados and Trinidad and Tobago with his family. He also enjoyed camping along the Washington and Oregon Coast. Recently, on behalf of his school he travelled to Singapore and Florida. With his friends Rick and Zayvin they started up Canada's first independent beer tasting and education company (Just Here For The Beer). Colin poured almost as much time and dedication into the beer business as he did into his teaching. We would like to thank all family, friends and neighbours for their support. For details on the Celebration of his life, please go to Facebook pages Colin Jack, Just Here For The Beer or Rick Mohabir. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to a scholarship fund we will be starting in Colin's name.
