My name is Jamie MacDonald and I am the girlfriend of Ricky Klassen, a man so many of us have known and loved, for his big heart and infectious smile.

If you knew Ricky, you knew how much he loved his girls and his family, how he would give the shirt off his back to someone in need and how he lived his life to the fullest.

In light of his very sudden & unexpected passing, on Wednesday July 30th, I am seeking donations from our community to give to his three surviving daughters, Rikki Nicole (Jamie Mihajlovic), Kennidi and Vayda Klassen (Chandra Milatz).

My hope & prayer is to leave a legacy for his daughters, on his behalf and in his honour.

I know that nothing can possibly replace his presence, but if we can come together and provide a financial gift to be used & invested for their future and their education - at least a small burden will be lifted.

In lieu of flowers, please consider donating to this cause; funds will be divided and distributed equally amongst his beautiful girls.

On behalf of myself and my own daughters; Eden, Esme and Evelyn, we thank you in advanced and wish blessings upon you for your kindness and generosity.

come to me all you who are weary and burdened & I will give you rest - mathew 11 28
