He inspired me and made me the person I am today. I’ll miss our visits, his crazy funny stories about his adventures and his smiling face that filled me with great warmth every time I would see him. I Loved him then…I Love him now…I will Love him always.

    My condolences to the Jefferies family.

    I was shocked and saddened by the news. I met Rick over twenty years ago. He was a character with a strong personality. Always a nice guy and always willing to help out. He enjoyed a good debate or discussion over a coffee. He will be missed.

    Sorry to hear of Ricks passing but know he will be riding in our hearts especially when we ride our bikes on the trips he took part in with us in alberta!
    We know he will be another angle keeping us safe on the roads as we ride and I’m sure he will keep our bikes straight through muddy terrain

    May his ride never end and his bike never quit as he rides his way through our lives keeping us safe as we ride on earth!!

    Our condolences to the Jefferies Family on the sudden passing of Rick. We were able to meet and become friends with Rick through Craig/Tammy Schopfer, and Neil/Candi Schopfer . Rick was a wonderful man with a heart of gold for everyone. We will miss Rick on our bike trips, he was always fun to be with and had a love for Timmies Coffee and would search miles to find it and bring back for everyone to enjoy! He was a huge help with our wedding in June just jumping in helping decorate and clean up also offering rides for anyone who needed! We will miss him out at our place in the garden patch loading cucumbers in his saddle bags before leaving! Rick you were a great guy full of life, but left us too soon.. Til we meet again Rick, our memories of the best guy will stay close to us.. Love you and miss you. Rest in peace… Love Tara/Garry
