Died surrounded by family on March 20th at Groves Memorial Hospital, in his 65th year. Born on December 29th, 1960, in Granby, Quebec, to parents Nicholas and Audrey Klein (predeceased). Rick will be greatly missed by his wife, Heather Matthews; his son, Michael (Krystal); and his grandchildren, Olivia, Connor, and Madelyn, as well as his siblings, Linda, Bob (Claire), Laurie (Mike), Jeff (Carmen), and his nieces and nephews. Rick had a deep love for music, taking his guitar all over the world on his many trips with Heather. He enjoyed camping, snowmobiling, and long sunny days at the beloved cottage. Rick had many friends who were by his side until the very end, sharing countless stories and laughs. Rick always loved a good party and there will be a fabulous party to celebrate his life on September 13th, 2025. Save the date. Donations in memory of Rick can be made to Groves Memorial Community Hospital or the soon-to-be-built Aboyne Rural Hospice. Arrangements entrusted to Graham A Giddy Funeral Home (519-843-3100, 280 St. David St S, Fergus, ON).
