1950 - 2024
It is with deep sadness that the family of Mr. Alan Ritchie of Spruce Grove, AB, announces his passing on May 30, 2024, at the age of 73 years.
Alan will be remembered for his zest for life, relentless optimism, and love of his family & friends. He was a devoted sports enthusiast, his love for the game radiating through every match, game, or race. Whether cheering from the sidelines (for the Oilers and Roughriders) or participating himself, his passion was contagious. Without question, he was happiest when surrounded by his family, who will never stop missing him.
Alan will ever be loved and cherished by his best friend and wife of 37 years Deb; his daughters Jenn (Ben) and Tracy; his sons: Austin (Lydia), Alan and Emil (Nikki); his grandchildren: Emil, Ryan, Gregory, Austin and Eva and by his great-granddaughters: Farrah and Astraea. He is also survived by his sisters: Linda (Jim), Leesa, and Brenda (Mark); his brothers: Les, Ron (Julie), and Laird (Carol) as well as many nieces, nephews, extended family and friends. Alan was predeceased by his parents, Rosalene & Lorance, and by his brother, Darryl.
The void left by Alan's passing is immeasurable, and the grief of his loss is profound. Though our lives will never be the same without him, we find comfort in the enduring legacy of his love and kindness, and the profound impact he made on all who had the privilege of knowing him.
Rest in peace, Al, knowing that you were truly loved and will be deeply missed.
Alan’s family and closest friends will be gathering to celebrate his life on Saturday, June 15th.
