Helmut Enrico Fast

Rick was born on August 21, 1944, in Swift Current, Saskatchewan. A man of many passions, Rick spent his life enjoying the great outdoors with hobbies that included hunting, fishing, camping, and quading. He could often be found puttering around his yard or meeting friends for a Toddy at the local bar, sharing stories and laughter.

Rick worked for BC Highways and Mainroad as a heavy machine operator, followed by a successful career as a long haul trucker, earning the respect and admiration of his colleagues for his dedication and hard work.

Rick leaves behind his beloved wife of 56 years, Mary Fast; his son, Richard (Edie) Fast, and granddaughters, Chanelle and Hailey; and his daughter, Tara, and son-in-law, Glenn Culley. He was predeceased by his brother Ray Fast, his parents Albert and Lydia Fast, his brother Wally Fast, and his grandson Brandon Fast.

In keeping with Rick’s wishes, there will be no formal funeral service. His family invites you to remember him in your own way, perhaps with a quiet moment in the great outdoors or a drink with friends in his honor.

Rick’s warmth, humor, and love for life will be deeply missed by all who knew him. His memory will live on in the hearts of his family and friends.

Rest in peace, Rick.
