RIP: Comrade Richard Sun
Westmount, Quebec – 25 July 2025: The RMR Foundation regrets to announce the death of Comrade Richard Sun, a longstanding and dedicated member of The Royal Montreal Regiment’s extended regimental family. His funeral services will be held at 14h00 on 28 July 28 2025 at Centre funéraire Côte-des-Neiges, followed by a burial at Mount Royal Cemetery.
Visitation will take place at the Côte-des-Neiges Funeral Centre, located at 4525 Côte-des-Neiges Road, Montreal, QC, H3V 1E7, Canada, on 27 July 2025 from 10h00 to 18h00, and on 28 July 2025 from 10h00 to 14h00.
The funeral service will be held at the same location on 28 July 2025 from 14h00 to 14h30.
The burial will take place at Mount Royal Cemetery, located at 1297 Chemin de la Forêt, Montreal, QC, H2V 2P9, Canada, on 28 July 2025 from 15h00 to 15h30.
Comrade Sun’s contributions to the RMR and Branch 14 (RMR Association) were both meaningful and enduring. A steadfast supporter of the Regiment, he played a key role in securing the Freedom of the City from Hampstead for the RMR in 2008—a proud moment in our collective history. In recognition of his years of commitment to the Legion, he was recently presented with his 15-year service pin from Branch 14 (RMR Association).
Richard was an active and enthusiastic presence at social events, a regular participant in parades, and a devoted volunteer for the annual Poppy Campaign. His cheerful demeanor, reliability, and dedication to remembrance will be remembered by all who served beside him.
Members of the Regiment and Branch 14 are encouraged to attend the services in Legion attire, if available. A wreath adorned with poppies will be laid in his honour.
We remember Comrade Richard Sun for his quiet leadership, consistent service, and unwavering support to both the Branch and the Regiment. He will be deeply missed.
Lest We Forget.

RIP Comrade Richard , Condolences to the family and friends.
A great loss to his family and a great loss to the RMR and the RMR Association Br14. When working together for the RMR Centennial or on the initial planning and formulation of the RMR Association Bursary Program he was always positive and enthusiastic. With Richard it was always, “we will find a way” to realise our objectives. A great friend of the Regiment and Br14. Missed but never forgotten. Rest in Peace Comrade Richard.
