Richard Michael Kachmarski

It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Richard Michael Kachmarski on Sunday, April 9, 2023 at Battlefords Union Hospital.  

Richard, the oldest of two children, was born Sept 27, 1954, to parents Mike and Mary Kachmarski.  The Kachmarski family lived on a farm near Speers, Saskatchewan where they raised cattle, pigs, and chickens and cultivated cereal crops on the fertile land.  Richard started farming in 1976 and eventually led to him taking over operations of the family farm.  He married Maureen Brehon in 1979 and together they raised two sons, Jeff and Evan.   Richard was an avid sports fan cheering on both the Maple Leafs and the Roughriders.  He could often be heard reminiscing about his time playing fastball with multiple teams, including his time with the Ruddell Raiders.   Richard had a special place in his heart for his grandchildren.  He was proud to teach them about life on the farm and always made time to take someone for a tractor ride.   

Richard will be lovingly remembered by his wife, Maureen; his son, Jeff (Twila) and their children: Logan, Kaden, and Jace; his son, Evan (Katie) and their children: McKenna and Easton; his brother, Leon (Ruth) and their children: Darryl and Shanda (Brad) Johnson and their children: Rylan and Blake; his mother-in-law, Gladys Brehon; and uncle, aunts, and In-laws.  

Richard is predeceased by his parents, Mike and Mary Kachmarski; his niece, Amanda Kachmarski; and his father-in-law, George Brehon.

A Celebration of Life Service will be held Friday, April 14, 2023, at 2:00 p.m. held at the Don Ross Centre with Reverend Janice Trost officiating.
