It is with heavy hearts that we share the sad news of the passing of our beloved Richard Hamelin. Richard passed away peacefully in his sleep on January 27th.

Richard was a bright light in all our lives. He had that rare, beautiful gift of being able to make anyone laugh or smile in an instant. He had a sparkle in his eyes and was a ray of sunshine to all who knew him.

He is survived by his loving parents Louise and Benoit Hamelin; his siblings JP, Cindy, and Michel; and a large circle of extended family and friends who loved him dearly. 

Our family is currently making arrangements for a Celebration of Life, and we ask that you keep us in your thoughts and prayers during this incredibly difficult time. For those who offered to contribute to the event, a GoFundMe has been set up to support the family.
