Rick is pre-deceased by his parents William and Louisa Royce, his siblings Phil Royce (Barb Royce) and Lorna Walker.
Rick lived a life on his own terms, with a throttle in one hand, a tool in the other, and a joke always ready to share.
Born in Toronto, Ontario, Rick was a true free spirit whose love for motorcycles wasn't just a hobby, it was a way of life. Whether he was carving down open roads or tinkering in the garage on his next big project, Rick found peace and purpose in the hum of engines and the smell of grease.
He was a master craftsman, gifted with the ability to turn a pile of parts or a bare wall into something both functional and beautiful. His hands told a story of a life spent building—not just things, but connections, memories, and joy.
Rick was also a lover of music, with a playlist for every mood and a deep appreciation for everything from classic rock to blues. His laughter was contagious, and his jokes—no matter how corny or clever—brought smiles to every room he entered.
Ride in peace, Rick. The road is yours now.
