Colin DRUMMOND Obituary
December 11, 2024
The Drummond and Cassie families would like to express their sincere gratitude to all who attended Colin's funeral and/or extended messages of support and condolences. The numbers that attended the funeral in Colin's paradise at Erewhon Station were truly humbling. We live in an amazing community. The phone calls, texts, emails, letters, cards, flowers, food and farm help, all have meant so much to Erin, enduring the shock of losing Colin so quickly to such an aggressive cancer. Thank you to the doctors and especially the nurses of Ward I at the Ashburton Hospital who cared for Colin so well during his last few days. Thank you also to both Jo Metcalf of "Memory Funerals" and Phil Hooper for facilitating such a fitting final farewell for Colin. For a terrible day this occasion was 10 out of 10 for execution and a celebration of a life well lived. We take strength into each day with Colin's mantra "Its better to burn out than rust out as life's no dress rehearsal". Please accept this as a personal thank you to you all. Colin has been farewelled - but he is forever in the mountains giving courage to those keeping his legacy alive.
