Pat was a unique quiet man whose presence graced so many lives. He was a gifted guitar player who played in many bands and did tours in the U.S. and Canada.
Pat's working life was in the welding trade as a technician extraordinaire. For many years the job was not work but a labour of love for him. He was kind, gentle, caring and well respected.
He will be always loved by his wife Cheryl, his children Debbie, Camille, Chad, William, Amanda and Andrea, his grandchildren Mike, Krystal, Mariah, Dryden, Isabelle, Dominik, Nikolas, Mila and Harlan and great-grandchildren Josh and Lily. Also his brother Garry and wife Elsie and sister Betty.
Pat touched a lot of people in his life and will be lovingly remembered by all who were lucky enough to know him.
A special thanks to Wade and Kevin who made Pat's final years so memorable and were with him in his final moments.
