Jack Colvin
1928 - 2009
RENOWNED B.C. CATTLEMAN
Jack Colvin was a quiet man of influence, treasured by all who knew him - a soul of the earth.
His expertise with horses and cattle was gleaned from hard work in hard times on the Redvers, Sask., family homestead, Souter family farms, and driving the local doctor for two years.
On arrival in B.C., in 1954, Jack worked for Hay Bros. Dairy, Ashcroft Farms, and Border Feedlot.
By now, his reputation as a good beef feeder, was established.
He began his own feedlot at Quilchena Farms #9 Rd., Richmond, which included an extensive horse-boarding facility, where he gave generously of his time and experience to all who listened.
Jack was a passionate supporter of 4-H with son, Bill, winning Grand Champion Steer in 1977, and granddaughter, Jennifer, the same, in 1998.
He was never far from cattle shows, sales, rodeos, riding and driving horses, discussing and reading about them in the Western Producer.
In 1995, Jack retired to Princeton, with his cattle and horses, and found time for some hens.
In 2004, Jack retired again to Merritt, and enjoyed son, Bill's horses and cattle.
You gave us so much, Jack.
We are truly blessed.
Memorial Service: Saturday, April 18, 09 - 1 p.m., Trinity United Church

Survived and deeply loved by his mother Ann-Charlotte and his sister, Jessica with husband, Volker and nephew Hugo. Predeceased by his father Urban in 1979. Grieved by family and friends everywhere, mainly in Canada and Sweden. Erik was born in Vancouver, November 15, 1965, raised at the family ranch at Upper Nicola, B.C., and then in Banff and Kaleden, B.C. He graduated in 1983 from Penticton Secondary School, graduated with a B.Sc. Biology (First Class) from UVic in 1987 and attended two years at the U.B.C. Faculty of Medicine, before discovering he really wanted to study Architecture. In 1995 Erik received his M.Arch. from the U.B.C. School of Architecture and then enjoyed work in his beloved Victoria, including opening his own office in late 2007.
Erik was kind, faithful, generous, gentle, intelligent, caring and compassionate. He loved nature, hiking, skiing and paddling, and his guitars. He was always there for anyone in need and had so much insight into what troubled him. Until the very end, Erik kept searching for some lightness of being.
Why did you leave so soon?
Come gather to remember Erik, Saturday, April 25, 2009, 2-5 p.m. at Goward House, 2495 Arbutus Road, Victoria (250-477-4401).

In one of the stars, I shall be living.
In one of them, I shall be laughing.
And so it will be as if all the stars were laughing when you look at the sky at night.
