Obituary of Richard Lloyd Tamasar

In Loving Memory of
Richard Lloyd Tamasar
March 29, 1964 – February 21, 2026

“The song may end, but the melody lives on.”

With heavy hearts, we announce the passing of Richard Lloyd Tamasar, who passed away on February 21, 2026, at the age of 61.

Born in St. Mary, Jamaica, Richard later made his home in the Greater Toronto Area, Canada, where he built lasting connections with family, friends, and community. Known as Ricky or Apache, he lived life to the rhythm of music, laughter, and togetherness, bringing joy wherever he went.

Ricky was the life of the party. Whether DJing, sharing his music, playing dominoes, dancing, or cooking his famous curry goat, he had a special way of bringing people together. The moments he loved most were simple ones — good music, a domino game, food on the grill, a cold beer, and family and friends close by.

To many, he was the fun uncle who made everyone feel welcome and encouraged people to be their authentic selves. He leaves behind his sisters Patricia and Maria, his beloved partner Rema, his stepchildren, and many dear family members and friends who will cherish the memories they shared with him.

Ricky will be remembered for his vibrant spirit and the happiness he brought into the lives of those around him.

His spirit will forever live on in the rhythm of the music and the love of his family.
And whenever music plays, laughter fills the room, or family gathers together, Ricky’s spirit will be there with us.

Ricky - Your dear mother and brothers now have the partner they need to drop 6 love together in heaven.
