Randy Michael Ritchie

Randy Michael Ritchie, born April 15, 1965, passed away unexpectedly on January 24, 2026.

Randy was born in Cobourg, Ontario, and spent most of his life in Woodstock, Ontario, where he built a life surrounded by family, friendship, and unforgettable memories.

He is lovingly remembered by his wife, Sam Ritchie; his daughter, Hannah Ritchie (Jordan); his bonus daughters, Faith Hyde and Lauren Ficht (Golton); and his cherished granddaughter, Kinsley Bahnuk, who he proudly adored as her Papa. Randy is also survived by his mother, Sharron Ritchie; his siblings, Colleen Moss (Rick), Garth Ritchie (Karen), and Wanda Rushton (Kenny); along with many extended family members and friends who will miss him deeply.

A dedicated business owner, Randy spent nearly his entire life working in the industry he loved, known for his strong work ethic and commitment. But beyond his work, Randy was a man of big personality and even bigger heart. He was a loyal friend, a hardworking man, and often the life of the party. He loved riding his motorcycle—usually very loudly—and never hesitated to take someone along for the ride. He cherished time spent with friends and family, often accompanied by laughter and a few cold ones.

Though loud and crass at times, Randy was endlessly generous, the kind of man who would give the shirt off his back to anyone in need. He was an incredible father who adored his daughter, Hannah, and took immense pride in being Kinsley’s Papa, eagerly sharing her pictures with anyone who would look. Everyone who met Randy couldn’t help but like him. He will be remembered for the unmistakable roar of his Harley, his legendary stories, and the many lives he touched along the way.

Randy lived fully, loved fiercely, and left behind a legacy of laughter, loyalty, and love that will never be forgotten.
