RICHARD ‘RICK’ SCIBERRAS

OCTOBER 30, 1957-JULY 12, 2023

     It is with a heavy heart that we announce the passing of our beloved husband/stepdad/Grandpa. Rick passed peacefully on the morning of July 12^th, with his wife by his side. Remaining to cherish his memory is his wife and partner Cheryl; his stepdaughters Diana (Scott) and granddaughters Neely and Kylee, Sandra and grandsons Parker and Duncan, Karen (Rob) and newest granddaughter Heidi, Laurie (Arran) and grandson Jordan, and Lisa (Shane) and grandchildren Tyson, Emerson, and Nixon. Also remaining to remember Rick is his mother Janet Sciberras and his two Brothers Bob (Val) and Greg (Deb).

Rick spent his adult life in the automotive industry, both for work and for fun. In his career, he was everyone’s favourite service writer. He always greeted everyone with a smile, and his customers loved him. In his free time, he loved working on old cars. You could always tell if it was one his cars by the signature flat black paint job. In addition to tinkering in his garage, Rick also enjoyed fishing and spending time with his grandkids.

Rick had been looking forward to his retirement, but it was unfortunately short lived, as on May 27 he was diagnosed with stage 4 pancreatic cancer. Although his battle was quick, he surrounded himself with his family to enjoy the things he loved most. One of those requests was to marry his partner of 26 years, Cheryl. On June 1^st they tied the knot. In his remaining weeks Rick mustered up the strength to go fishing with his grandkids, ride his Samurai around the farm, play in his garage and attend his oldest granddaughter’s graduation.

We have experienced a great loss in our family. We lost a husband, a father, a grandpa and a friend. Rick, you were taken too soon but are now at peace. See you on the other side!

Our family would like to thank the wonderful staff at St Boniface and Cancer Care for all of their help
