We regret to advise of the death of Master Corporal Richard “Rick” MacLean (Ret’d) of Dollard-des-Ormeaux, Cartierville QC, on 18 October 2023 at the age of 57.

Rick grew up in Montreal Roxboro, a suburb of Montreal, where he joined 3 Field Engineer Regiment in the 1980s. During his decade of service with 3 FER, Rick was seen as a “big brother” to the new members of the Regiment...assisting them in preparing for morning inspections during their summer training at Militia Training Centre Valcartier or helping them through financial binds. 

In civilian life, Rick worked as a brakeman for Canadian National Railway in Toronto, Capreol and Hornepayne ON. Rick also found time to help his community and volunteered at local food banks. 

Service was held at the Rideau Funeral Home {4275 Sources Blvd, Dollard-des-Ormeaux}, on 4 November 2023, 1330 hrs- 1530 hrs. Consider donating to your local food bank in lieu of flowers. Friends and family are welcome to leave an online message in the guestbook at the funeral home.
