Patrick loved spending time with his grandchildren and cherished his role as their grandfather. He was also a doting foster parent to Mason, Tati, and Jediah. His dream was to return home to Wabaseemoong and live in his home community.

He enjoyed playing music, playing PlayStation, cooking for Gloria, and caring for his dogs, Blocker, Ryu, and Max.
