April 17, 1948 - March 4, 2025
Born in Rock Ferry, England to Ben and Freda Wright, Colin grew up in Bebington with older brother Alan. He was very active as a young man participating in the Boy Scouts, cycling, mountaineering, sailing, and learning to fly. He graduated with a Civil Engineering degree from Sheffield University. His adventurous spirit took him to Prince George, BC with his wife Rachael, where they lived for 10 years. Here, they made lifelong friends and began raising a family. They relocated to Surrey, BC in 1984, where Colin continued not only his career in Municipal Engineering, but also his pursuit of adventure, including running his first marathon at age 49, going on cycling, kayaking, and hiking trips throughout North America, and volunteering in Indonesia following the 2004 tsunami. Upon retirement, Colin and Rachael enjoyed travelling, going on cruises, and exploring the world together. They enjoyed 52 years of marriage. He leaves four children - SJ, Chris, Stephen, and Kathryn.
