Fredrick ´Rikk’ Alan Lewis born in Halifax, NS, died in Ottawa on June 8, 2019 at the age of 48.
Rikk is survived by his parents, Rick and Linda, spouse Grace, daughter Harley, sister Trina, and nièce Isabella.
He served in the military for 27 years which included 6 tours of duty including Somalia, Bosnia twice, and 3 times to Afghanistan. He was proud to be a member of 3RCR, the Canadian Airborne Regiment, and the Canadian Military Parachute Team the Skyhawks.
Rikk enjoyed making many friends throughout his life and military career. His favourite pastimes included putting pavement under the wheels of his Harley ´Black Betty’, skydiving with more than a thousand jumps under his belt, and had a passion for weapons and firearms. Rikk possessed a joy for life that radiated through his broad smile and gleaming eyes. He was well loved, and will surely be well missed and well remembered. He dearly loved his family, friends, and comrades in arms.

Dear Rick, Linda and Family:
I was so saddened as well as so sorry to hear about Rikk's death. He was such a SPECIAL person to all of our family. Without a doubt, we could not have asked for more wonderful neighbours than your family Linda and Rick! And Rikk- HE brought so much fun and entertainment when he visited. We all loved to see him come over and over again especially John. He truly loved Rikk. They always shared so many stories and laughs together!
For myself, I will NEVER forget how compassionate, generous and kind Rikk was towards John. He truly helped John in so many ways cope with his difficulties and illnesses etc.
My warmest thoughts and prayers are with you Linda and Rick along with your family.
Blessings,
Barbara

Rikk,
You always had a smile that would light up the room. Especially when you would come and see us clerks at 3 RCR with a smile. You will always be missed and loved by many.
Rest in peace brother.
