It is with heavy hearts that we
announce the passing of Richard (Rick) Paul Ellis of Fredericton N.B.
on April 8th, 2024, at the age of 64. Born on October 2nd, 1959, in
Fredericton, NB, he was the son of the late Edna McKinnon and Lloyd
Ellis.
He will be lovingly remembered
by his beloved wife of 41 years, Raymode; children, Zach (Holly),
Theoren (Lauren), and Tonya (Kennedy); grandchildren, Eben and
Quinten; brothers, Ervin and Donald; and sister, Rosealie (John); as
well as numerous beloved relatives and
friends.
Rick is predeceased by his
parents; sister, Alma; and brother, Carl.
Rick was a true entrepreneur
alongside of his wife, starting with Rick Ellis Electric in 1986 and
ZT&T Data Cabling in 1993, then purchasing
Raymonde’s General Store in 1998, and ending his career
owning and operating Pure Green Lawn Care.
Rick will be remembered for his
love and dedication to his wife, children, and grandchildren. He was
so proud of the family he built alongside the love of his life. He was
well known in the Ellis house for his homemade pizza on
Sunday’s, decorating for Christmas and Halloween, and
sneaking a treat or two to his grandchildren and four legged
friends.
One of Rick’s greatest passions
in life was hockey. It began with coaching his three children for 22
years and blossomed into a beautiful tradition of being his
grandchildren’s number one fan.
Rick believed in giving back,
and his generous spirit touched the lives of many. He spent several
years volunteering with the Fredericton Youth Hockey Association and
the Epsilon Y’s Service Club.
A visitation will be held at
Bishop’s Funeral Home on Sunday, April 14th, 2024, from 11am

Armstrong will be held at Saint Paul’s United Church on April 15th,
2024, at 11am. A reception following the service will be held at St.
Francis of Assisi Catholic Church in Lincoln NB. In honor of
Rick, donations can be made toward the Rick Ellis Memorial Fund
(rickellismemorialfund@gmail.com), which will be used to support
children’s love for hockey.
The family wishes to thank the
medical staff in the ICU and the Wound Clinic at the Doctor Everett

care.
