Stratford, P.E.I.
Rickey Chiasson, 42, of Stratford, P.E.I. passed away on December 25, 2017. Born in Grand Etang, Inverness Co., N.S. on September 22, 1975, he was the son of Victor and Noella (AuCoin) Chiasson. He was a proud employee of Irving Oil having worked with the company for twenty three years in Cape Breton, Dartmouth and most recently in Charlottetown, P.E.I. Rickey was a kind and compassionate man who had a great affection for his family and his many friends. He always held a special caring for the elderly, the less fortunate and for animals. He enjoyed competing in softball and bowling, particularly with his dad as a teammate. He also enjoyed biking, kayaking and keeping physically fit. Rickey’s best years were in his youth prior to disease setting in. The long hours spent outdoors with his brother and friends while keeping his mom busy drying his winter clothes was his trademark. He is survived by his mother Noella, Cheticamp, father Victor and stepmother Bernice, Grand Etang, brother, Bruce (Richard), Surrey, Uk, and maternal grandmother, Emilie Burns. Rickey will be dearly missed by his family, many friends, numerous aunts, uncles, cousins, co-workers and his dear godson, Zachary. Visitation will be held in Cheticamp Funeral Home on Tuesday, January 2, 2018 from 6:30 to 9 p.m. Memorial mass will be held on Wednesday, January 3, 2018 at 10:30 a.m. in St. Joseph’s Church, St. Joseph Du Moine with Fr. Peter LeBlanc officiating. Memorial donations may be made to a charity of one’s choice. Condolences may be viewed or sent to: www.cheticampfuneralservices.ca
