Portrait de Richard Bruce Douglas

Portrait de Richard Bruce Douglas

Richard passed away suddenly after one last visit with his two children. Richard’s strong and thoughtful spirit will be remembered by many.

Richard will be dearly missed by his children, Sabrina (Brendan) and Joey, and their mother, Jennifer. Richard was a proud brother to Mark (Carol), John (Sandra), Joan (Paul), Margaret (Dennis), and Judy (Patty), and uncle to many nieces and nephews.

Predeceased by his parents, Austin and Jean Douglas, whom he was very proud of and missed deeply.
Richard was intelligent, creative, sensitive and hard working, always willing to help his family with a project. He was an IT manager at Bell Canada, but his talent shone brightest when figuring out how to build world class bomb disposal safety gear including suits and helmets for MED-ENG where he was the third employee hired by the start-up. Richard was a talented piano player and loved playing cards and games with his family. Using his mother’s favourite recipes, Richard enjoyed baking shortbread cookies, coffee cake, and pineapple delight to share with loved ones. Richard was a proud father and celebrated Sabrina and Joey’s accomplishments, hobbies, and interests endlessly.

A celebration of Richard’s life will be held at Beechwood National Memorial Centre in Ottawa, 280 Beechwood Avenue, on Friday, July 10, 2026 from 2:30-5:00pm.

In lieu of flowers, memorial donations can be made in Richard’s memory to the Canadian Mental Health Association.
