It is with heavy, broken hearts we announce the sudden death of Rick on November 16, 2019 at 50 years of age. A terrific husband, father & son. Rick had a passion for running, cycling and being an ironman. He truly loved all sports, but none more than his beloved “BOSTON BRUINS”. He was a member of many exercise clubs and a devoted lifelong friend to others. He made us all smile and laugh every day!

He will be missed and loved forever by his wife Tammy (nee Shepley), sons Beau & Steele, parents Richard (Moose) & Mary Grace Meloche, sister Jody (James), brother Bob (Sophie), in-laws Lyle & Gail Shepley, brother-in-law’s Terry (Suzanne) & Stephen, and many nieces & nephews. He leaves a hole in the hearts of his sons’ girlfriends, Terri & Sydney.

Cremation has taken place. A private “Celebration of Life” will be taking place. Arrangements entrusted to Families First 585 Sandwich Street South, Amherstburg, 519-969-5841.
