Colin Carl Skrepnyk
It is with profound sadness that we announce the sudden passing of our loved one Colin Carl Skrepnyk who we lost to cancer, at the age of 53, on October 5, 2024.
Colin Carl Skrepnyk was born on April 9, 1971 in Edmonton, AB. The only son to Patsy (nee Yandeau) and Bob Skrepnyk.
Colin leaves to mourn: Father Bob Skrepnyk, Son Matthew Skrepnyk (Vanessa), Sister Samantha McManus (Trevor), Niece’s Kiera and Kyla, as well as many other family members, friends, and loved ones.
Colin was predeceased by: Mother Patsy Skrepnyk, Grandmother Dorothy Skrepnyk, and Grandfather Pat Yandeau.
Colin was a wonderful son, brother, proud father, grandson, uncle, and dear friend. He was a kind, caring, and genuine soul.
Colin faced many challenges in his life, but his happiness and positivity were always seen and appreciated by those around him. You never ever heard him complain. He had a great sense of humour, and a smile that was unforgettable. He loved his family, friends, and sports. He enjoyed fishing, playing lacrosse and baseball, and also watching football and the Edmonton Oilers.
We were lucky to have him. He will be deeply missed, and remembered forever. We are better people for having had Colin in our lives.

God bless you Colin. We love you. You will forever be in our hearts and minds. Rest in peace.

Colin you were a good friend to me for many years. I have many memories of our youth that I will always remember fondly. I know your family will miss you greatly. You were a good friend & a great dad we will all miss you buddy.
Colin, Our friendship goes way back bud. We became buds in grade 7 Parkview Jr.High and stayed amigos for the next forty years. You were a true friend. No matter the years between as life whizzed by us both, we would touch base here and there. Wish it would have been more often. No matter it was always like no time had passed at all we’d talk and laugh and remenicse about the good old days Belmead Gardens, dirtbiking at EL Smith, Street Hockey till our fingers were frozen…..CAR:) You & me & Grant in the “green hornet”. I remember when you had your son son, you were so proud of him. When I had Justin I understood what it meant. I know buddy you were a good dad and a great friend. I will miss you and I will miss our great conversations. My sympathies and prayers to your pops, big heartfelt hug to you Bob. your son Matthew, Faith and the rest of your family. Peace to you brother.
My deepest sympathy to your family. You were a good person who treated everyone like a friend.
You will be missed by many people.
I’m especially sorry for your loss Matthew. Your dad was a good kind person.
My condolences to your family for their great loss. You were a lovely person Colin. I’m glad you were my friend. Rest in peace
I’m sorry to hear of Colin’s passing.
He was a such a nice guy. I’m sorry that as we grew up we went our own ways and hadn’t spoken in many years. I will always consider him a friend. He will surely be missed by many people who knew him through his life. Rest in peace brother.
Oh Colly. You were one of a kind. Caring, genuine and so kind. Always happy, joking and would light up any room you walked into. The world needs more people like you in it. You will be missed ever so dearly. Rest in peace ♥️
