Patrick Owen Hamlin

HAMLIN- Patrick Owen, 20, cherished son of John and Lisa (Gardner) Hamlin and loving brother of Ryan (special friend Chelsey), passed away quietly on Thursday, October 31, 2013.

Patrick was born on July 16, 1993 in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, weighing 5 pounds 5 ounces. He struggled his way into our lives as he did leaving our lives.

We are so proud that Patrick, in his short life, was able to conquer his fears; learning to swim, tackling the roller coaster, riding his bicycle like the Tour de France around Western Head, getting his driver’s license and graduating high school. Most of all he learned to know the love of  his family and his friends.

Patrick leaves to mourn besides his parents and brother, his maternal grandparents David and Jeanette (Matheson) Gardner of Halifax,  his paternal grandparents Owen and Gail (Clark) Hamlin of Liverpool, Great grandmother Lena Gardner, Aunt Anne and Uncle Doug Hay ( Thomas, Alana), Aunt Heather and Uncle Paul Beaudoin (Megan, Emma) Aunt Sandra and Uncle George Kovacs (Hannah, Maya, Ben, Aaron) Aunt Ann and Uncle Jeff Langille (Eric, Kate) and numerous great aunts and uncles.

A celebration of Patrick’s life will be held Thursday, November 7, 2013 at 11:00 a.m. in Chandlers’ Funeral Chapel, Liverpool. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the charity of your choice. Online condolences may be made to www.chandlersfuneral.com
