Richard Gordon Reykdal

October 30, 1954 – May 6, 2026

It is with heartfelt sadness that our family announces the passing of Richard Gordon Reykdal our beloved husband, father, papa, brother, uncle and cousin. Rick was fortunate to be at home with his family by his side when he passed.

He is survived by his loving wife of 49 and a half years Valerie, his two children, Scott (Amber) and Candace (Darryl); his three loving grandchildren, Blaze, Isabella and Everly. Also surviving him are his sisters, Linda (Ron), Donna (Allan), Sandra (Dale); brother-in-law Louie; numerous nieces and nephews and great nieces and nephews. Rick was predeceased by his parents John and Isabel Reykdal and his sister Cheryl.

Rick grew up in Winnipeg Beach and worked most of his life in the family business as a dairy distributer. Later in life, Rick worked for Moars Plumbing. Rick loved baseball, playing fast ball in his early years and slow pitch as he got older. Rick’s passions were curling and golfing. In the winter you could always find Rick playing in a curling bonspiel and in the summer on a golf course.

He made many good lifelong friends throughout his years while enjoying these hobbies. Rick cherished his time with his family especially his grandchildren. Rick took immense joy watching his grandchildren grow up and was so proud of them all in everything they did.

We would like to thank the doctors and staff at the University of Alberta Hospital, Selkirk Hospital, HSC, St. Boniface Hospital, Transplant Wellness Centre and Palliative Care.

A celebration of life will be held on Saturday, May 23, 2026 at 1:00 p.m. at the Fraserwood Community Hall.

In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to the Manitoba Lung Association.
