RICHARD (RICKY) BOYCHUK

With heavy hearts, we announce the unexpected passing of Richard "Ricky" Boychuk on October 20, 2026.

Ricky was predeceased by his loving family members: sister Maureen, mother Anne, father Fred, and brother Lyle. Left to cherish his memory is his daughter Jasmine and grandsons, Leevi and Parker; brothers, Mel, Michael, and John; nieces, Vanessa (David) and Tamara, and nephew Gregory Jr. (Zain); grandnieces, Shayla and Alicia, grandnephew Rhyen; and many friends and extended relatives.

Ricky grew up in Winnipeg's North End. He loved to sing and perform, and was an Elvis impersonator under the his stage name, "Ricky Dunn". He enjoyed spending time with friends and family, entertaining in his home and telling stories. He could strike up a conversation with anyone he met with his stories and (occasionally) funny jokes. After he stopped entertaining, he would maintain his Elvis look where possible, dying his hair black and spraying it back with lots of hairspray. He was a man of faith who read his bible daily. He had excellent cooking skills for someone who enjoyed eating sandwiches regularly. Finally, he will be remembered for his generosity, charisma, and self-assurance.

The family would like to thank Ricky's friends Angela, John, Ed, Al, and his cousin Tony for their kindness, friendship, and support over the years.

Cremation has taken place. A Celebration of Life will happen on Monday, November 9, 2026 at 6:00 p.m. at the Royal Canadian Legion Branch 246, located at 1335 Main Street, in the basement of the building. Private internment of the ashes will take place at a later date. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to a charity of your choice.
