Colin PILIPCHUK Obituary
Colin Pilipchuk passed away peacefully on August 11, 2016, at the age of 40, surrounded by his family.

Dear Cheryl and family❤
You do not know me but I had the pleasure of spending time with Colin during our vitamin c journey. I got to see his love for you when he shared his pictures with me. I watched his eyes light up with true joy when he talked about his family. He will be missed and I will cherish our moments we shared. Go Esks!

Dear Cheryl and family,
The news of Colin's passing has broken my heart, and I'm so sorry for your loss.
I met your family at the UofA's inaugural Aphasia Camp as one of the speech-language pathology students.Your family's story of strength and perseverance has stuck with me ever since. My wish is that Colin is watching over you and your two boys and his memory allows you to carry forward with that same strength I saw at Lake Wabamun.
