AKERS, Colin James

What a wonderful human you were Col. Thanks for dedicating so much to the Yallourn people, Energy Australia, your peers & the community. You’ll never be replaced & always missed.

Our thoughts are to all Colin’s loved ones.

Col, it was a pleasure to work with you for the last 25 years as a customer and work colleague.
Your slightly off-centre outlook on things will be missed

So very sorry for your loss Karen, Lauren, Riley & Bethany. So many great memories of the fun times at No 44. A great bloke who will be sadly missed.

We are deeply saddened to hear of Colin’s passing.
He was a lovely man , with a smile for everyone.
Our thoughts are with you Karen, Riley & Lauren.

With a heavy heart, I would like to pay tribute to my friend and colleague, Col. Over the past two years, he became much more than a co-worker. Col’s kindness, integrity, and positivity brightened even the toughest days.
Always ready to lend a hand or share a laugh, his dedication and generosity set a standard we all admired. Above all, we’ll miss his warmth and infectious spirit that brought us together.
Rest in peace, mate. You’ll be deeply missed and never forgotten.

Colin it was great working with such a lovely person over the last 12+ years. Your wealth of knowledge and experience was amazing and will be sorely missed as will our regular “chat and grumble sessions”. My deepest condolences to Karen, Lauren, Riley and your extended family.

Sending my sincere condolences to Col’s family, friends & colleagues. I’ve worked with Colin throughout his time over the many years at Yallourn Power Station, and I will miss his genuine, kind, passionate and positive nature. A good man taken far too soon!

A technical master on condition monitoring of rotating equipment, and a master of conversation. Spent many hours discussing technical stuff, and loved those talks. A dedicated person who built the condition monitoring team to a new level in the paper industry, as well, before returning to Yallourn. I will miss our conversations and your smiling face that says “i have the solution….but”. Rest in peace

Colin was a former colleague at Yallourn and I am shaken to the core by his passing.
An intelligent and confident fellow who made many of us look pedestrian with his abilities.
It has been many years since I last saw him but I still remember him well.
Vale, Colin.

So sad to hear of the passing of a great guy. A true gentleman and an extremely competent worker. RIP mate

A great bloke gone too soon. A true gentleman that will be sadly missed. My love goes to all the family.

All my love to Karen, Riley and Bethany & Lauren.
