It is with sadness that we share that Richard Allan Rak Junior lost his battle with addiction on September 30th, 2020. Richard tried many times over the years to fight his way through addiction, sadly he never quite got free.
Richard leaves behind; his pride and joy, his greatest accomplishment- his beautiful daughter Hannah of Barrie. His parents Richard Senior and Debbie of Milton. His sister Trisha and brother in law Rene (of Oshawa) and his two nephews, that he always called, "the greatest medicine in the world" Justin and Elliot. Also, many aunts, uncles, cousins, and friends.
We watched you suffer for so long---we hope and pray that you have finally found the peace you so desperately needed. Your journey in this life has come to an end, we hope you'll look over us from where you are---until we meet again.
Cremation has already taken place, and his remains are with his daughter as per Richards request.
Should you wish to make a donation in his name to Simcoe Mental Health and Addiction Services it would be appreciated. https://cmha.ca/

Posted on: Sunday, October 4, 2020A true gentleman and AMAZING friend you were like family,
uncle rak, to my daughter Hailie-Jane . and a lot to myself …. more than words can explain.
Affecting so many people in positive ways
and leaving your mark on this world, making everyone remember your name.
This just doesn’t seem fair
All I feel is sorrow and pain.
I miss you so much 😭
And wish I could give you just one more hug!
Your embrace was warm and filled with light
Youd always tell me, too keep my head up and fight
It is in memory of you
That I will continue to try 🙏

Posted on: Monday, October 5, 2020Still hard to believe your gone brother. I have not seen you in almost 3 years but we chatted alot on Facebook to keep track of ya and see how you were. Richard allways made us laugh and made the best of ANY situation and he all ways had your Back. I once was giving his Dog halo to me for a few Years to watch because he was Elsewhere:) And I noticed the same amazing traits that Richard had in HALO.. Aggressive, Loyal,Playful and funny,solid and most of all he had our backs and protected my son and mother with his life. I love ya bro..Rest in peace..Ill see you on the other side.

Posted on: Friday, December 30, 2022What is wrong with you? Why on earth would you come on his obituary and post this? He was far from a Saint…and I’m the last one to defend him (I’m his sister) but his parents and more importantly his daughter sees this….and they’ve been thru enough don’t you think?
Have you never been told if you don’t have anything nice to say say nothing at all?
For goodness sake….he’s gone… GONE…. whatever he did to you….it’s time for you to let it go too! For what it’s worth…I’m sorry….but still no reason to come here and cause hurt to his daughter and parents….
