Kent Ritchie

Kent Ritchie passed away on Friday, February 5, 2016 at the age of 46 years. Kent will be lovingly remembered by his two children Kelsey and Kyle Parker; mother, Leona Somerville; father, Laurence Ritchie; siblings James Somerville, Kevin Somerville, Mary Scott, Betty Somerville, and Christopher Ritchie; as well as many aunts and uncles. Kent loved to work on vehicles and was an excellent mechanic. He spent a lot of time at the Pick-n-pull shopping for vehicle parts. Kelsey recalls spending time with her dad at the Pick-n-pull looking through the vehicles and collecting pennies. Kyle has fond memories of repairing bicycles with his dad. It was through these opportunities that they developed their mechanical sense. Kent was a very sociable person and had a great sense of humor. He was very helpful and gave to those in need, even when he didn’t have it to give himself. He also had a strong sense of independence, for this reason he preferred to find his own sources of work instead of working for someone. One thing is certain, he adored and loved Kelsey and Kyle with his whole heart even when he struggled to let them know.
