In memory of

Richard Jin

December 23, 1961 -  April 20, 2022

Richard sadly passed away April 20, 2022 at his home in Toronto. Ricky will be dearly missed by his beloved nieces and nephews, Anneka, Serge, Sabrina, Luca and Elle; his father Jack; brothers Eddy, Howard and Bernard. Ricky shared his love with his Uncle and Aunt, Handy and Lesley and his Cousins Ashley and Victoria as well as his Sister-in-Law, Paula.
Ricky expressed his love with a home decorated with momentos of his family and especially his nieces and nephews. Ricky was passionate about everything in his life but in particular cycling, shoes, work and ironing.
It is certain his spirit will join his late mother Helen in many rousing arguments over bowls of home cooked meals.
A visitation will held on May 7th 2022 from 3:30pm to 5pm at York Funeral Centre, 160 Beecroft Road, North York. Further details available in the funeral tab above.
In lieu of flowers, his family suggests that a donation be made to the Heart and Stroke Foundation of Canada (In Memory of Richard Jin). Please see details in the donation tab.

The visitation will be livestreamed from 3:30pm - 5 p.m. Please click on the link above during that time. If you missed the time frame, the recording will be available in the media tab as of Monday, May 9th.

Dear Richard, may your angel wings carry you faster and farther than any bicycle you could have ever dreamed of.
Until we meet again my friend......xo

My sincere condolences to the family. May the God of all comfort, comfort you during this very difficult time (2 Corinthians 1:3,4)
I have known Richard for about 20 years. He was such a good natured person, always made me laugh. I will miss seeing him around the office.

Dear Richard, oh how I will miss your beautiful smile and your crazy sense of humour. You were taken from us far too early.
I have such great memories of our times together. You would reminisce about how much you enjoyed swimming in the pool at our family's motel and dog sitting Koko & Pepe. You said you loved walking them because the girls would always stop and pet them. But they would ask what kind of dogs they were and you could never remember lol. And we'd laugh about the family trip to China that was oh so many decades ago. I enjoyed seeing your face light up when you talked about your many trips to Hong Kong. If you found a good seat sale, off you'd go. When I told you that I was heartbroken that I missed your Mom's funeral, you offered to take me to see her resting place. I will always remember that special day. You are with your Mom now and it warms my heart, because I know how much you loved her. You are also with your Uncle Lun, who shared your love of cycling. I can see you two now....speeding through the heavens.
Richard, your life took many turns but you were always so grateful for everything and you stayed strong and positive through it all. I hope you know how much you were loved and how deeply you will be missed. Until we meet again my friend.

We all came to know that the racing bike was your friend.
It was a constant and an enduring love, not merely a commuting vehicle, but a finely made working machine, a passion for like minded racers like you around the world: the racers and their quest for individual strength and endurance, and of course the racer’s commitment to overcome physical hardship with mental strength.
We loved talking about the ‘Race of Truth’ ( Individual time trial races) and whether an individual was tough enough.
I never got to tell you that you were tough enough too. You encouraged me at every opportunity to be at one’s best was to never give up on what mattered. Many of us have come to know that you lived to that, thick and thin.
I may seem to have forgotten how nice the talks were, and I never got to tell you that those talks were like a beacon and a guide for a lifetime. I am sad and so sorry for that.
I am also sorry, as chinese brothers rarely would, that I never got to tell you that I love you for being my brother and for knowing what I needed to hear.

Thanks for telling me to join every school club, and to try new things, and to test myself.

I will do my part okay to carry your wisdoms forward, okay?
Love your little brother,
Bernie
