Richard Carey FORSAYETH

October 23,1956 – August 20, 2024 It is with great sadness that we announce the sudden passing of Richard ('Rick') Forsayeth. He died peacefully in his sleep of a heart attack. He was 67. Rick was predeceased by his parents Erin and Michael and leaves behind his brother Michael (Janet), his nephews David (Erin) and Jack (Julie) and their families, Clara George, his partner and love of his life, and her two daughters Madison and Jayden, his Sundridge family including his stepmother Ginger Forsayeth and his brothers Robert (Heather) and Andrew (Fiona) and their families. He will be missed by many, but in particular by his "core four" of Dr. Roger Buckley, Randi Richmond, Shelly Cook and David Harcourt who loved him dearly. After receiving his formal education at St. Michael's College School followed by Queens University, Rick took to being a model in magazines and doing television commercials. Then, as an extra in the 1982 movie High Point that featured the famous stuntman, Dar Robinson, Rick was involved in a spectacular unscripted car chase accident that put him in the hospital. The scene was kept in the movie; Rick got paid for it as a stunt and Rick the stuntman, later stunt coordinator, was born. Over his forty plus years in the film industry Rick worked with the likes of Tom Cruise, Jackie Chan, Keifer Sutherland, Michael Douglas, Mark Wahlberg just to name a few. He has over 120 television and film credits to his name including: Police Academy, Kids in the Hall, Cocktail, Forever Knight, F/X: The Series, X-Men, Around the World in 80 Days, Alien vs Predator, Star Trek: Discovery, Resident Evil, The Sentinel, RoboCop and, most recently, The Umbrella Academy. Rick lived large. He touched so many lives, in so many places, over so many years and everyone he touched was better for having known him. Every memory of Rick brings a smile. Everyone loved Rick. A private Celebration of Rick's Life will be held at a future date for family and invited guests. In lieu of flowers or gifts, we encourage you to consider donating to Covenant House (covenanthousetoronto.ca), a favourite cause that Rick supported.
