RYCKMAN: Douglas “Doug” of Calgary, Alberta

February 26, 1950 – August 30, 2024

 It is with deep sadness that I announce the unexpected passing of my beloved husband, Douglas (Doug) Mahlon Ryckman, of Chinook Park, Calgary at the age of 74 on Friday, August 30, 2024.

 Born in Exeter, Ontario, Doug grew up on the family farm near Moose Jaw, Saskatchewan. At the age of 23, following graduation from Moose Jaw’s Saskatchewan Technical Institute (STI, now Saskatchewan Polytechnic), he began his decades long accounting career in Calgary.

 Loving husband of Roberta (Neil) Ryckman for almost 45 years. Survived by brother Ron (Susan Kellar) Ryckman of Bancroft and formerly Iroquois Falls. Uncle of Sean (Sandra Frenette) Ryckman of Ottawa, and Mark (Renee St. Germain) Ryckman of Peterborough. Great Uncle of Adam, Cameron, Christian; and Malin. Predeceased by his parents Mahlon and Josie (Kerslake) Ryckman of Exeter and in-laws Wes and Mary (Johns) Neil of Exeter, formerly of Kirkton. 

A celebration of Doug’s life will be held at Haskett Funeral Home, 456 Main Street South, EXETER on Friday, October 18, 2024 from 3 – 5 PM with words of remembrance beginning at 3:30. Interment Exeter Cemetery at 1 PM.   

If friends so desire, memorial donations in Doug’s name to the South Huron Hospital Foundation would be appreciated by the family.
