Rick Dmytryshyn

It is with great sadness and loving memories that we announce the passing of Rick “Demo” Dmytryshyn, age 67, of Winnipeg, Manitoba, on October 30, 2025.

Rick was born and raised in Winnipeg, where he built a full and joyful life surrounded by family, friends, and the community he loved. He shared 48 wonderful years with his beloved wife Sandra Williams, and together they created a lifetime of laughter, love, and lasting memories.

Rick will be forever missed by his daughter Liette Kampic and her husband James, as well as his cherished grandchildren Kash and Khloe, who brought endless joy to his life. He is also survived by his sisters Jean Dutka (Mike) and Emily Dmytryshyn, along with numerous nieces, nephews, great-nieces, and great-nephews. Rick was predeceased by his parents, Michael and Nadia Dmytryshyn.

With a career in liquor and wine sales spanning over 40 years, Rick was known for his professionalism, humour, and ability to connect with anyone he met.

Sports played a huge part in Rick’s life. From his early days at Margaret Park, to traveling to Texas with Interstrike, to playing for the University of Winnipeg Wesmen, and later with Winnipeg Thistle, soccer was one of his greatest passions. He also enjoyed golf and was a proud member of the Platinum Jets.

A loyal and lifelong Cleveland Browns fan, Rick never gave up hope for their Super Bowl win — a true testament to his optimism and unwavering spirit.

Rick treasured the many friendships he built throughout his life — from teammates and colleagues to lifelong friends who became family. His warmth, humour, and loyalty touched everyone who knew him, and those friendships will be deeply missed.

He also shared a special bond with his dogs, Nikki and Memphis, who were constant companions and a source of joy and comfort.

Our family would like to extend our sincerest thanks to Dr. Abbott and the staff of Seven Oaks Hospital for the loving and thoughtful care given to Rick

A Celebration of Life will be held on Friday, November 21st at 1:00 p.m. at Canad Inns Garden City, where family and friends will gather to share stories and honour Rick’s incredible life.

Rick’s legacy will live on through his love of family, his laughter, his friendships, and the countless lives he brightened along the way.
