COLIN HANSEN WEIR September 27, 1982 November 3, 2012 With heavy hearts we announce the passing of a kind and gentle young man. Colin Hansen Weir, aged 30 passed away on November 3, 2012. Colin loved life to the fullest and had accomplished many things to be proud of, including marrying his best friend Nikki (Bonneteau), the birth of Lily (6) and Ella (4) as well as finally getting his dream job with Manitoba Hydro. He loved the outdoors and had Big Dreams of teaching Lily and Ella how to hunt and fish. He has already given them their love and respect for the outdoors. He also leaves behind his mom, Linda Hansen (Tim and Rebecca), his dad Ted Weir, his sister Amy Weir, his best friend and brother-in-law Mike McLeod (Logan and Paige), his best friends from childhood, Mike Marceniuk and Justin Lessard, his in-laws, grandmas, aunts, uncles, cousins and too many friends to list. He was a very likeable and fun-loving guy who made a much bigger impact on people than he ever would have thought. Respects can be given as we celebrate his wonderful life at an "Open House" at Wheeler Funeral Home, Cemetery & Crematorium, 1800 Day Street, on Friday, November 9, 2012 at 6:00 p.m. to 9:00 pm.

Colin, We love you and miss you already and you will live on forever in your little girls' hearts and in ours.

  • How can one even begin to say goodbye to a friend? I am fortunate enough to count Colin and Nicole as my friends, and our children are friends, too. One of the things that really impressed me about Colin was his drive and ambition. He was interested in employment with MB Hydro, but did not have grade 11 physics. Instead of giving up, he went back to school, upgraded, and passed his physics course. I know it can be intimidating to go back to school, but Colin faced this with grace and style. He did it! I'm so proud to know someone who accomplished so much is such a (sadly) short time. You are greatly missed, Colin. - Posted by: Angel (friend) on: Nov 07, 2012
