Richard Gordon Lake

With heavy hearts, we announce the passing of Richard Gordon Lake, aged 75. Richard was predeceased by his parents, Elsie and Gordon, and his sister Carol. He is lovingly remembered by his brothers Earl, Cliff, and Garry, as well as his nieces, nephew, and many treasured friends.

In his younger years, Richard was a proud member of the Canadian Ski Patrol, and he thrived on the friendly competition of racquetball. A true car enthusiast, he attended countless car shows over the years. He also found joy and freedom riding his Harley through the mountains, and in more recent years, exploring sunny destinations.

Richard was a well-known and well-loved presence in the Invermere community, where he rarely missed his morning coffee with the boys. His easygoing nature, warm smile, and genuine camaraderie will be deeply missed.

Richard leaves behind a legacy of friendship, adventure, and a life lived with enthusiasm.

A memorial service will be planned for Summer 2026.

In Lieu of flowers, donations to the Heart and Stroke foundation would be appreciated.
