Colin Joseph Krywiak

We are deeply saddened to announce the sudden passing of our dear son Colin at the age of 39.

He leaves behind to mourn his loss parents Dave and Wanda, brother Aaron, sister-in-law Morganne, grandfather Alex (Dido) Krywiak, numerous aunts, uncles, cousins, including Sharon Beitel, Corlene (Peter), Charlotte Balding, Gary (Kathy), Samantha, Julian (Victoria), Felix, and Maia Kriviak, Janis (Chris), Alex (Kate), Michael (Emma) France, friends Steven Behnke, Tyler Stang, and Daniel Sedmak, as well as his Stang Guitar family and many other friends.

Colin was predeceased by his maternal grandparents Joe and Edith Beitel, and paternal grandmother Olga (Baba) Krywiak.

Colin was a quiet, gentle soul - Someone you just loved to be around. He had an incredible artistic personality displayed by his love of guitars, music, art, and photography. This was evident at a very early age.

Colin loved to travel, which always included taking in a concert or two. Most memorable was seeing Jeff Beck and BB King in Cleveland, Ohio on the way to see family in Athens, Ohio.

He loved animals, especially Aaron's dog Henry.

He was incredibly lucky to spend each work day being around all things guitar in sales, and then becoming photographer for the Stang Guitar website.
