Richard Pierce Obituary

Ryan, as everyone knew him, lost his life to complications of an ongoing illness at just 44 years of age. Because he left this world so young, he is survived by his parents, Robert and Corey Colombin, four younger sisters (Meghan Brenner, Allison Allen, Robin Colombin, and Natalie Lindsay) along with their spouses. He is also survived by his grandmother, AJ Colombin, two nephews and two nieces, as well as aunts, uncles, and cousins by the handful. All loved him well, leaving no doubt he is and will continue to be sorely missed. Ryan was a familiar fixture at Safeway Evergreen, making an indelible impression on all who encountered him during his 21-year tenure. He was known for his infectious-and sometimes outrageous-humor, ready smile, helpfulness, love of family, appreciation of a wildly eclectic range of music, crazy Halloween costumes, and fishing. Ryan's celebration of life will be held on November 15th at The Barn at Evergreen Memorial Park, 26624 N. Turkey Creek Rd. Evergreen, CO, open to all who wish to celebrate his life. 5-8pm.

Always a smile, an acknowledgment that I had been missed when I had been away, enthusiasm to help me find what I needed. Best of all was the day we chatted for an extensive time - just shooting the breeze - when he looked at his watch and said "oh, my break´s over." Dang, so kind that he gave his time to me rather than go to the men´s room! Ryan, Safeway won´t be the same. I´m sad I didn´t know of your illness. Drop in sometime- I´ll be looking for you. You always took care of others. What could be a better life lived?

We are so sorry to hear about the untimely passing of Richard. Although, we did not know Richard personally, it is always difficult to lose such a young member of our community who worked in a popular local business. Our hearts go out to Richard's family & friends.

Ryan was a kind hearted and protective soul who cared so much for his loved ones. He was always someone who asked if he could do anything to help, the kind of soul who would give you the shirt off of his back. Miss you Ryan
