RICHARD DEAN LOVELL It is with profound sadness that we announce the sudden passing of our dear son, brother, father, friend on the morning of Tuesday, March 8, 2005. He is survived by his girlfriend Erika Dilka and her son Jason; his parents Marjorie and Lloyd; his son Joshua Courtney Francis Lovell; his sisters, Dailaan Shaffer (Jayeson), Cathryn Loudon (Ken) and brother Shaun Lovell (Mildred); nephews Matthew and Greg; nieces, Marta, Marusia, Heather, Sara and Rebecca; aunts Eleanor Conn and Joan Phillips. Born in Winnipeg on October 17, 1954 Rick attended school in Swan River, finishing his education in Winnipeg where he spent the remainder of his life. His longtime interest in automotives led him into training as an automotive technician and his career most recently focused on heavy duty equipment. He was appreciated as a dedicated member of the team wherever he worked and will be sadly missed. Rick was known for his compassion for people and animals, especially his pets Dixie and Marmalade. He was appreciated by friends and family for having a strong ethical sense, teaching others by example. He courageously took a stand for what he believed was right. He was always willing to help, counselling his sisters by long distance when they had car problems. He had a strong sense of family and never failed to assume responsibility in his devotion. Funeral Service will be held at Neil Bardal Inc., 984 Portage Avenue, Winnipeg, MB using the Aubrey Street entrance on Monday, March 14 at 10:30 a.m. Safe in the arms of Jesus .
