Ian RITCHIE Obituary
Jan. 24, 1959 - May 25, 2021
The family of Ian Ritchie is deeply saddened by his sudden passing on May 25. Ian is mourned by his loving wife, Margaret (Symon) and sons Arran, Alasdair and Gordon, mother-in-law Elizabeth (Symon) and brother Fraser. He was predeceased by son Gavin in 2008.
Ian devoted his life to community. After a policing career including 22 years with Saanich Police Department, Ian "retired" to drive school bus for Shawnigan Lake School and School District 79.
Ian was extremely proud to have ridden in the 2005 Cops for Cancer Tour de Rock and kept up cycling as well as interest in travel and sports.
Ian made long-lasting friendships and will be deeply missed.

I always enjoyed Ian’s company, whether seeing him at a community event, between periods of a hockey game or just having a coffee with someone. He had integrity and an honesty that was rare and engaging. There are certain people in life you wish you had spent more time with, and for me, Ian was one. My sincere condolences to the family.

Ian was a good friend to our whole family. He inspired Tom to shave his head, as a teacher, for Cops for Cancer.

I got to know Ian and Margaret and Gavin in the late 80s in Warman Saskatchewan while he lived and served with the RCMP detachment in our community. Ian always had a funny story and a smile. My thoughts are with the family. Rest in peace Ian.
