COLIN CLAIR ANDERSON January 17, 1961 - September 8, 2006 It is with deep sadness that our family announces the tragic passing of Colin Anderson, on September 8, 2006 in Calgary, AB at the age of 45 years. Colin leaves behind his mother and father, Bill and Laura Anderson of Winnipeg; his brother Blair (Elaine) Anderson of Calgary with their children, Taylor and Logan; his sister Darcie (John) Oades of Winnipeg and nephews, Kristian and Courtney Nespor of Calgary. He also will be deeply missed by his friend Judy Kirk, as well as by numerous aunts, uncles, cousins and many loyal friends. He was predeceased by his beloved rottweilers, Fonda and Viper. Colin was born in Assiniboia, SK and was raised in Winnipeg where his love of cars and bodybuilding began. Even after moving to Calgary in the nineties, Colin pursued his weight training passion and was awarded the 2004 Heavyweight and Overall Southern Alberta Bodybuilding Championship. Whether it was riding his Fat Boy Harley or racing his 1969 Dart Slimer , Colin did everything with great spirit and determination. He never turned down anyone in need of help and could always be counted upon to be there as an incredible brother, son, uncle and friend. Cremation has taken place and a gathering of friends and family was held on Thursday, September 14 from 1:00 p.m. to 3:00 p.m. at Leyden's Funeral Home, 304 - 18th Ave. S.W., in Calgary.
