Passed away peacefully at Scarborough General Hospital on Tuesday, April 9, 2024, in his 92nd year. Eyre is survived by his devoted wife of 65 years, Betadelle Lucetta Shepherd (nee Gooden). Loving father to Margot Shepherd-Spurgeon, Colin Shepherd and Delia MacVicar. Grandfather to Betty Spurgeon, Madeleine Spurgeon, Carter MacVicar and Sasha Davor Eyre Shepherd.
He lived a rich life and worked in Grenada, England, and Germany before settling in Canada. Colin was a very generous and selfless man. He touched those whom he came across and was always willing to lend a helping hand without expecting anything in return. Those who knew him will remember his insightful advice and calm disposition. He would often connect with strangers, making them feel like old friends. For his family, he was a dedicated father and husband who put his needs second to those of the family.
Family and Friends are invited to gather for a time of visitation from 11 am to 1:30 pm on Thursday, April 18, at the Giffen-Mack Funeral Home Scarborough (4115 Lawrence Avenue East). A private service will take place later, with cremation to follow. In lieu of flowers please make memorial contributions to Scarborough General Hospital in memory of Eyre Colin Shepherd would be greatly appreciated.
