As he said, “the race is over.” Rick died with great courage and in peace, surrounded by the women he loved the most. He is survived by his partner Sharon and her son Jesse, daughter Teresa (Scott), son Matt and their mother Marie, granddaughter Justice, sister Verna, brother Bert (Lorraine), and many nieces, nephews, aunts, uncles and cousins. He is predeceased by his mother Vera, father Gilbert and brother David. Rick was born in Grande Prairie, and his childhood was spent between his family’s farm in Fort St. John and their orchard in California. His ability to repair anything was obvious at a very young age and became legendary over the years. He had a unique brilliance and an amazing natural talent when it came to anything that was broken, no matter what it was—he just fixed it or invented a better way to get the job done. He could also drive or operate anything with tires, but race cars were his true passion. His professional racing career took him all over Canada and the U.S., Australia and Argentina. His war stories from tracks like Talladega, Pocono and Daytona, and his experiences with other drivers like Martin, Earnhardt, and Petty were always entertaining. He finished in the top 10 for the year overall in NASCAR’s Winston West Series in 1991. His Kimberly crew is remembering him with much love and laughter, they travelled many, many miles with him and the memories are certainly cherished. When he moved from Kimberley to Sorrento in 1998 to care for his parents, he was retired from the professional circuit but still raced at Sun Valley with his Hot Rod Lincoln, and put in countless hours as crew chief for the Lordco team. He continued to work as a mechanic, and his shop up on the hill was rarely quiet; there was always something interesting going on and a regular group of guys working and hanging out. He was more than generous with his time, his knowledge and his tools (was there one he didn’t have?) and if someone needed help with something, they got it. Perhaps more than anything that went on up there, he loved to “take five” with whoever was around; always a coffee or Pepsi, gossip, jokes, arguing (especially with Gino) and of course free lessons from “Rick’s Finishing School for Women”. In addition he also started and ran a successful business with Sharon, Shuswap New & Used Building Materials, where he continued to prove over and over that what seemed impossible at first was in fact “not a big deal”. Rick lived his life the way he drove; very fast, by his own rules, with amazing skill, with highly contagious passion and with great enthusiasm and determination. Sometimes he won, sometimes he didn’t but it didn’t matter, he genuinely lived by the adage that “it’s not the destination that matters, it’s the journey.” It didn’t matter much where he was going…what really mattered was the thrill of the chase and how much fun he was having on the way. His sense of humour spared nobody…his energy and attitude affected everybody. He was, truly, an original. Losing him has left such a painful raw hole in the lives of those who knew and loved him. He will be very deeply missed. If there is a heaven, and they didn’t have a smoking section yet, they will now. They will play the Doobie Brothers and Stevie Nicks and The Eagles really loud, #33 will be a Ford and he will still be“taking ‘em on the outside” (Thanks Jay). The amusement park will always be open, with rides and roller coasters only he could imagine. He’ll be arguing with Gary again, and the Snap-On truck will come every day. Those blue eyes will always be lit right up with another crazy new idea…and he’ll be watching over us with a wrench in one hand and a coffee in the other, reminding us that “it is what it is.” As always, “Take It To The Limit,” honey, “One More Time…” At his request there will be no service, we are to celebrate his
July 25, 1993 – October 14, 2012
Jacey Judith Uphill, born July 25, 1993, was granted her angel wings on October 14, 2012, after a long courageous battle with cancer. Her final days were spent surrounded by her family at the Alberta Children’s Hospital. The lives that were touched by Jacey’s grace and optimism are vast. Jacey’s life would seem too short to many, but those who have been touched by her understand that the quality of existence far exceeds the quantity of time in which one lives. Her glowing smile, her compassion, her strength, her undying faith and her ability to make every individual who had the honor of being in her presence feel loved and important - these are the qualities that drew people to her. Although she was ill, she gave us courage and hope and reminded us of the preciousness of life - she taught us to believe and have faith, even in the darkest moments. Jacey was a competitive Irish dancer and competed all over North America. With what little free time she had, Jacey played field hockey and even wrestled – all the while being a fashionista. She was a dedicated student at St. Mary’s High School and received scholarships and awards for post-secondary education. Jacey was accepted into nursing at U of C, but didn’t want to stop there, her goal was to become a surgeon - following the example of the incredible nurses and doctors who cared for her throughout her journey. Jacey is survived by her fiancé Luke Borbely; her mother and step-father, Shonalie and Darcy Stadnyk; her father Dale Uphill and Leigh (Block). She leaves behind four siblings, Joey and Rozanna Stadnyk and Jalyn and Talon Uphill; step-siblings Brett and Ally Block; her maternal grandparents Judy and Carmen Biafore; paternal grandparents Marvin and Annette Uphill; and two greatgrandmothers Helen Biafore and Iris Ruzek. She leaves numerous aunts, uncles and cousins and many friends whom she considered family. A service to honour Jacey will be held at First Alliance Church (12345 - 40th Street SE, Calgary) on Friday, October 19, 2012 at 12:00 pm. Photos, memories and condolences may be forwarded to Jacey’s family through www.evanjstrong.com. Jacey was an advocate for Childhood Cancer Awareness, an ambassador for the Make-A-Wish Foundation and a spokeswoman for Canadian Blood Services. If you would like to pay tribute to this inspirational young lady, in lieu of flowers please donate to these causes. Arrangements in care of Evan J. Strong Funeral Services
