Obituary of Colvin Allen McBurney

1936 - 2013

Colvin Allen McBurney passed away peacefully at home and went to be with the Lord on Sunday, September 29, 2013 at the age of 76 years.

Colvin will always be remembered as a man of unwavering integrity, a lightning quick sense of humour and a profound love of family, friends and God.

He was a husband, brother, father, grandpa and friend. He was a provider and a supporter. He was a hero.

Colvin was predeceased by his parents Colvin and Maisie (nee Strachan). Left to mourn his passing are his wife of 50 years and the love of his life Joy (nee Christian), brothers Dick (Linda) and Gary, sister-in-law Jill Christian, children Tyler (Joni), Danny and Jay, grandchildren Jordan, Amanda, Kayla, Kathleen, Margie, Finn, Sarah and Austin, nephews Chris, Doug and Dean, niece Lori and their families and countless cherished friends, most notably life long friend Don Laing (Mary-Lou).

A special thank you to his doctor and special friend Dr. Bob Niedermayer, Dr. Davis, Susan Little and the nurses from the Green Clinic and the caring staff of Interior Health. Colvin loved you all.

Joy would like to express her thanks, gratitude and love to Pam Weiler, Sheila Moore, Tammy Brown and Bev Foraie for all their help and support throughout Colvin's battle.

Colvin's family and friends will have a gathering in the spring to celebrate his life. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made in Colvin's name to the Canadian Pulmonary Fibrosis Foundation at www.canadianpulmonaryfibrosis.ca.

Arrangements entrusted to McPherson Funeral Service.
