Ricky Holz

July 1, 1967 - October 3, 2021

Tribute

Ricky Holz was born July 1, 1967 in Oliver, BC. Jokingly he would say they have a parade and fireworks for him on his birthday. He passed away unexpectedly from Covid on October 3, 2021 at the age of 54.

Ricky is now taking comfort being with his mom and dad, Diane and Johnny Holz.

He is survived by his family, Liz and their sons Keenen and Levi; brothers Dale (Cheryl) and Jerry (Lisa) and many nieces, nephews and extended family.

Rick grew up playing hockey competitively and continued his passion for the game through coaching and proudly watching his boys play hockey. He also enjoyed fishing and had a fond memory of sturgeon fishing on the Fraser River with Keenen, Levi and his best friend Jim Simpson.

Rick had many close friends, a kind personality with a great sense of humour that would light up any room.

He will be dearly missed by everyone who loved him.

A celebration of life will be held at a later date with an announcement made prior.

Condolences and tributes may be directed to the family by visiting www.nunes-pottinger.com

Liz, Dale, Jerry and families

So sorry to learn Rick has passed away – sincere condolences to you and your families.
I did not have the pleasure of knowing Rick In his adult years. I can’t remember any specific things he said or did when we spent good times in our teens and twenties. What I can remember, and know would have been durable – is how Rick made people around him feel. Rick made those around him feel good. Kind, complimentary and funny – that’s what I will remember.
Special thoughts with all.
