May 24, 1959 – February 18, 2023

It is with profound sadness we share the passing of our father, Collin William Yaretz. Collin will be forever remembered by his two daughters Nastasha (Jason), Yanina (Otis), and their mother Carmen. Survived by his two grandchildren, Boden and Blake. Survived by mother Helen, siblings Ken (Cherie), Sharlene (Grant), Candice, Nadine and numerous nieces and nephews. Collin was predeceased by his Father Victor, Brother Shane and Nephew Kenny.

Collin enjoyed golfing, snowmobiling and watching his favourite basketball team, the Toronto Raptors. Fishing trips to Port Hardy became a yearly event, with family and friends joining him on these.

Collin loved his family more than anything. Being able to watch his grandchildren grow, brought a lot of joy to his life. Summers spent at Shuswap lake, boating, playing dice or crib, and learning all about music from Collin while he drummed on the table, will always be our cherished memories.

Collins big passion in life was STM. Building a small car dealership into a very successful RV dealership was Collins biggest success in life, and for which we are all so proud of him. Working with the RVDA, to building a better RV industry, and being RV Dealer of the Year in 2018 was some of Collins many achievments.

Collin’s final wish was for everyone to remember who he was and keep those memories alive.

The family wishes to thank Dr Mike Wilson, and all the staff that work at the Kamloops Hospice Association.

In lieu of flowers the family suggests donations to be made to the Kamloops Hospice Association.

Celebration of Life to be held at a later date.

Condolences may be expressed at Schoening Funeral Service.
