Colin Robert Mertick

It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Colin Robert Mertick, who left us too soon on October 2, 2024, at the age of 42 due to a tragic motorcycle accident. Colin was born on October 5, 1981, and lived a life full of passion and adventure.

Colin was a dedicated Process Operator at Pembina Pipeline Corporation in Corunna. He was not only a devoted father to his five children—Brayden, Julian, Ava, Katie, and Piper—but also a cherished son, brother, and friend. He will be lovingly remembered by his parents, Kevin and Martina Mertick; his sisters, Natasha Wilson (Scott Wilson) and Cassie Mertick; his grandmother, Gerarda McFarlane; and many nieces, nephews, aunts, uncles, and cousins, etc. Colin’s circle of friends was vast, many of whom felt more like family.

An avid motorcycle enthusiast, Colin had a flair for collecting unique treasures (aka “cool shit”)—buckles, hats, lighters, playing cards, and bikes. He was a true jack-of-all-trades, known for his exceptional baking skills and his ability to create mouthwatering BBQ delights. Colin's infectious spirit and love for life left a lasting impact on everyone he met.

He was predeceased by loved ones who will greet him on his final ride.

A celebration of Colin’s life will be held on October 20, 2024, at Lady Luck Riders MC, located at 3014 Michigan Line, Camlachie, Ontario N0N 1E0. Weather permiting, a memorial ride in his honour will take place, with kickstands up at 11:30 AM. Those arriving by car are welcome to follow the bikes for the ride or are encouraged to arrive before 1:00 PM to greet the riders upon their return. Light snacks will be provided, followed by a small service at 2:00 PM. Donations will be graciously accepted to support Colin's children.

Colin will be deeply missed and forever remembered for his vibrant spirit, kind heart, and unwavering love for his family and friends.

The arrangements had been entrusted to the D. J. Robb Funeral Home & Cremation Centre (102 N. Victoria St, Sarnia, ON, N7T 5W9). Memories and messages of condolence may be sent through www.djrobb.on.ca
