Pat surrounded himself with friends, knowledge, kindness and nature. He was passionate about teaching, both in and out of the classroom. Pat’s humour and wit made a difference in everyone’s life.

The family is taking solace in knowing that his spirit lives on in the lessons he imparted, the laughter he shared, and the love he showered upon everyone.

Saddened to learn of Pat’s passing, my condolences to Deb and the family. Pat was a wonderful educator and a great friend to many. His sense of humour was a gift to all who knew him. He saw the world through his own unique lens and left it in better shape than when he arrived. He has touched the lives of many and leaves a big hole…may his memory be a consolation to all.
Our deepest condolences go out to Deb and family. We have many fond memories of Pat when our children grew up together on Green Hedge Cres. and spent a lot of time at the Kenney household. Thinking of all of you at this very sad time.

My condolences to Deb and Pat’s entire family. I spent 5 years working with Pat and Deb on staff at Jean Vanier. He was a much loved and respected teacher. My fondest memories were of our volleyball games as the JV Jammers.
Rest in peace Pat.
