It is with profound sadness that we announce the sudden passing of Rick Beadle of Fort McMurray on September 11, 2014 at the age of 47 years. He was a hard working and loving son, husband, father and wonderful friend.
Rick was born on December 17, 1966 to proud parents Richard and Joyce Beadle.
At an early age, he demonstrated his talent and love for automobiles and animals. He loved to be with his friends and enjoyed a good time. Rick was always someone you could depend upon and good-hearted and generous nature made him a friend to everyone he would meet.
Rick graduated highschool in the Crowsnest Pass and gained employment at the Summit Lime Works in Coleman as a driller/blaster and then the Greenhills Mine. He moved to Ft. McMurray ten years ago to work for Suncor to further his career as a proficient blaster. He himself was blown away upon meeting a lovely and caring young woman, Janet Pringle, and on September 5, 1998 they pledged their love in marriage. Rick was an excellent provider for his new family - he worked hard and played hard. He fulfilled his dream of an acreage nestled in the mountains of Creston, BC and spent many a day relaxing and enjoying the company of his family, his friends and his beloved horse, Zorro. He loved his leisure time and had a few toys he was proud of especially his classic 1968 Camaro and his Harley. We are grateful for this special man in our lives and he will dearly missed and fondly remembered.
He is survived by his loving wife, Janet Beadle of Fort McMurray; his sons, Dustin Pringle and Dale (Nicole Naugle) Beadle of Fort McMurray; his daughter, Makayla Beadle of Fort McMurray; his sisters, Tracy McClain of Fort McMurray and Barb (Richard) Ellison of Blairmore; his brother-in-law, Kirk McClain of Fort McMurray; his cat, Diva; his extended family and the many friends he made throughout his lifetime.
The Memorial Service will be held on Monday, September 29, 2014 at 11:00 am at Fantin's Funeral Chapel in Blairmore with Rev. Renso Castellarin presiding.
