Obituary for Colin Drew Bergen
COLIN BERGEN
FEB 14 1984 – NOV 4 2017
It is with sorrow to announce the death of Colin, son of Rita (Larry) and Jerry (stepmom Mariquita), and brother Stephen. He leaves behind grandparents Martin and Betty Bergen, aunts and uncles Nellie (Randy), Daniel (Karin), Beverly (Archie), Diana, cousins Andrea (Jon), Shari (Russel), Andrew, Rachel, Katie, Robert, Michael, Alexa, Travis, Kyla and Ben.
Colin loved the outdoors camping out on his country acreage with his ever present dog Makwa and close friend Lisa. He loved working on his cars and creating projects, watching funny movies and YouTube.
He was deeply sensitive, giving, loving with a matter of fact approach sometimes cynical and determined.
He struggled most of his life with anxiety and other mental health issues, and despite his many attempts with medications and programs he eventually succumbed to the disease of alcoholism, which lead to his death by alcohol overdose.
Colin’s faith in God and recognition and acceptance of his need for salvation, give those of us who remain a knowledge that we will meet again in Heaven by Gods grace.
In the meantime, we will miss you,
Colin.
A private family service and burial have been arranged.
