Colin Mark King

Colin is survived by his wife Judy of 41 years, his children Dennis (Nancy), Rhonda (Shayne) and Stacy (Chris) along with seven grandchildren, Marcus, Breanna, Taylor, Taya, Theodore, Alexander and Madison, his sisters Linda (John-deceased), and Jean (Ervin), nephews Daniel (Laura) and Eric (Melody), niece Crystal (Craig), aunt Lois (Robert-deceased) and his cousins Roberta (Jerome) and Mark (Grace).

Colin who was born in Victoria loved life and when he was young discovered fishing which he greatly enjoyed. He loved being on the water, whether it was catching fish or spotting whales. He enjoyed gardening, playing cards, golf and was an avid ten pin bowler. His coffee dates with friends a couple times a week were a special highlight in his later retirement years. He also loved watching his grandsons on the weekends play hockey. Colin was a diehard Canucks fan!

Colin lived many years in Port Alberni where he worked at the Alberni Pulp and Paper Mill. He returned to Victoria in 1980 where he was a taxi driver/owner and then went on to work for the Provincial Government. Over the years Colin met and made amazing lifelong friends.

Colin will be remembered for his humour, generosity and love for family. He will be missed by family and a great loss to a group of close friends. May he rest in peace.

A Celebration of Life will be held Saturday, August 26th, 2023, from 1-4pm at Trafalgar/Pro Patria Branch, The Royal Canadian Legion, 411 Gorge Road, East, Victoria BC.

In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to the Victoria Hospice or a charity of your choice.
