Rick Flood
1961-2026
In Loving Memory of Rick Flood
It is with profound sadness that we announce the sudden passing of Rick Flood on March
3rd, 2026.
Rick leaves behind his devoted wife, Yaprak Kant, his cherished daughter Danika (Chris),
and his dear son Denver (Giulia). He will be deeply missed by his brothers and sisters, Jane,
Tom, Dave, Joe, and Cathy, as well as his many friends and all who knew him.
Rick was a devoted husband, a proud father, a beloved brother-in-law, and a loyal friend to
many. His sudden departure has left an immeasurable void in the hearts of his family and
friends.
Those who knew Rick will remember his stubborn streak, his reliability, and his quick
humour. He had a special way of teasing those close to him—often calling them
“donkeys”—a nickname that somehow carried both mischief and affection.
Rick will be remembered for his love, strength, and the lasting impact he made on those
around him.
He built a meaningful life through hard work and dedication. Rick was always busy and
always building something—whether working on cars, renovating homes, or helping others
with their projects. He was happiest when he had something to fix or create.
The family will receive condolences on Sunday, March 8th, at Lakeshore Cardinal Funeral
Home, 560 Lakeshore Drive, Dorval, H9S 2B3, from 2:00 p.m. to 7:30 p.m., followed by a

So very sorry to hear of your loss. Paul and I send our deepest sympathy.
Dear Yaprak,
I am so shocked to read this saddest news, Dear Yaprak and family. I wish there was some way or some words we could express to help relieve the pain you are all feeling at the loss of such a vibrant, fun-loving, amazing husband and Dad. And at such a young age. We’ve known your family for decades of course (RIP Sheila Parkins). Johan and I spent some time with Rick at his garage a few times during these dance years as well. He was always ready with the jokes and the helping hand, friendly advice, generous heart. He worked so hard! And let’s face it, he was a gorgeous human, inside and out! And the houses he built, oh Lordy! Next level, I would say estate-level would not be exaggerating. Was there anything he couldn’t do? Not counting all he did that most of us did not even know about: helping people behind the scenes, out of the limelight. Of course I don’t have to tell you how special he was! I hope he knows he made a positive difference in so many people’s lives. Now you, his beautiful family, his precious legacy, must find the strength to carry on bravely and proudly, knowing his spirit is there lifting you every step of the way. Sending you the biggest hugs in the universe.

Flood Family I am so sorry for your loss, I new Rick for many years at our cottage in Harrington ,I was introduced to him by our good friend Al Nason ,we always got along ,will miss ya pal ,see ya on the other side
Dear Yaprak, Denver, and Danika,
Rick’s passing has left us utterly heartbroken. We were so fortunate to share so many wonderful moments together in Montreal and Nassau, and it is hard to believe that we were together just the day before he left us. Rick had a way of appearing tough on the outside, but those who truly knew him understood that he possessed one of the biggest hearts of anyone we had ever met. His quiet gestures of kindness were profound and deeply touching, often done without seeking any recognition. His dry sense of humor was unforgettable, no one made Johnny laugh the way Rick did. They spoke every day, and their friendship meant the world to Johnny. Rick has left a tremendous hole in our hearts, but we will always stand by you, Yaprak and your beautiful children, Denver and Danika. Rick’s loyalty knew no bounds, and we will honour his memory by being there your family.
We love you ,
Stephanie & Johnny
To Yaprak, Danika and Denve and the entire Flood family.
My deepest condolences to you all during this incredibly difficult time.
Your husband, father, brother, uncle, was truly a remarkable man. He touched the lives of so many people with his kindness, generosity, and unwavering presence for those he loved. He was always there for his family and friends, offering support, warmth, and friendship without hesitation.
He leaves behind a beautiful legacy in the hearts of everyone who had the privilege of knowing him. His generosity and the way he cared for others will never be forgotten.
Please know that our thoughts are with you and your family. I am sending you strength, comfort, and all my sympathy during this time of sorrow.

Yaprak, I am so deeply sorry for your loss. I didn’t know Rick for all that long, but in that short time I quickly learnt that beneath all his practical jokes and somewhat tough exterior was a heart of gold . I count myself lucky to have known him.
He was clearly so loved by you, the kids and all that knew him. That love will always continue in your hearts and memories over the years .
All my love
Tasha
I’m heart broken

Dear Yaprak, Danika, Denver, and family,
Our deepest condolences. We are so deeply saddened by this devastating news. Over the years we shared many memories of Rick—his devotion to his family, his witty sense of humour with friends, his creativity, and his incredible talent for building big projects.
You will be deeply missed, old friend.
Richard & Kathyana
Please accept my sincere condolences on the passing of your Husband and Father. Mary always spoke of all her children with such love and pride. She shared many pictures of the family over the years, and I especially enjoyed seeing videos of Danika dancing. May Rick Rest in Peace as he joins his Mom and Dad in Heaven. ✝️
Dearest Yaprak and family, we’re heartbroken to hear of your loss. May the beautiful memories you shared bring you light and strength in the darkest moments. Our hearts and thoughts are with you at such a difficult time.
Ramona & Rick
So sorry for your lost
My condolences to the family
I grew up with Rick and his brother Joe in Lachine, we went all through school together. I will always remember the good times we had in those days
May he RIP
Very sad to hear this news. Rick and his family were great neighbours growing up on Fort Rolland in the 60’s and 70’s. Wishing you happiness looking back, strength looking forward, and solace in the present.
My condolences to the family.
Losing a friend from your childhood/adolescence is like losing a part of your history. Rick was a constant in our lives and I came home to our house in Lachine on more than one occasion finding Rick sitting in our kitchen chatting with my Mom. Rick had just dropped by and decided to stay.
Yaprak, Danika and Denver and the entire Flood family, there are no words for such a loss, words cannot express how sorry I am. Our thoughts are with you
“Though nothing can bring back the hour, Of splendour in the grass, of glory in the flower, We will grieve not, rather find, Strength in what remains behind.” – William Wordsworth
Paul Portinari and family
To Dave and the entire Flood Family, I wish to offer my deepest condolences on the loss of your Beloved Rick. My Prayers are with all of you.
I was heartbroken to hear about Rick’s passing. He was someone who was once an important part of my life, and I will always be grateful for the memories we shared. Please accept my sincere condolences. My thoughts are with you and your family, and I’m wishing you strength and comfort during this very difficult time.
