It is with profound sorrow that we announce the passing of Rick Kerwin Kendrick Baechler. Rick was born December 7, 1943 in Timmins, Ontario to Robert Clare Baechler and Mary Edna Baechler (Humphrey). Rick moved to Atikokan, Ontario when his father took a position with Steep Rock Iron Mines. After high school Rick joined the armed forces for 3 years then returned to Atikokan and took a position with the same mine.
Rick met and married his wife Cynthia Ann Baechler (Parsons) in 1968. The newlyweds went on their honeymoon to Campbell River, B.C. The honeymoon lasted 52 years.
Rick took a position with Crown Zellerbach Mill and retired from Catalyst in 2004. Retirement gave Rick the opportunity to do what he loved most..spend more time with his family.

Daughter Kendra and son-in-law James Rogers, children Ephraim, Wyn, Shiloh, Judah and Sun Li.
