Rickey Chiasson, 42, of Stratford, P.E.I. passed away on December 25, 2017. Born in Grand Etang, Inverness Co., N.S. on September 22, 1975, he was the son of Victor and Noella (AuCoin) Chiasson. He was a proud employee of

Irving Oil having worked with the company for twenty three years in Cape Breton, Dartmouth and most recently in Charlottetown, P.E.I. Rickey was a kind and compassionate man who had a great affection for his family and his many friends. He always held a special caring for the elderly, the less fortunate and for animals. He enjoyed competing in softball and bowling, particularly with his dad as a teammate. He also enjoyed biking, kayaking and keeping physically fit. Rickey’s best years were in his youth prior to disease setting in. The long hours spent outdoors with his brother and friends while keeping his mom busy drying his winter clothes was his trademark. He is survived by his mother Noella, Cheticamp, father Victor and stepmother Bernice, Grand Etang, brother, Bruce (Richard), Surrey, Uk, and maternal grandmother, Emilie Burns. Rickey will be dearly missed by his family, many friends, numerous aunts, uncles, cousins, co-workers and his dear godson, Zachary.
