Patrick Normand

Patrick was born in Winnipeg, Manitoba on March 12, 1968. He lived primarily in Saint Vital and attended Glenlawn Collegiate where he graduated high school. His love of travel and adventure took him West, as he explored life and nature living in Alberta and in particular Canmore.

Patrick met his future wife Connie in 2003 in Calgary, Alberta while working for Safeway. They started dating April 13, 2003 and were married September 21, 2007 in Calgary. They moved shortly after that to Waldheim, Saskatchewan to start married life together. They then moved to Lumsden, Saskatchewan in June 2010 and continued to reside there until the time of Patrick’s passing.

Patrick worked in various positions throughout his life and was a trained meat cutter. He most recently had been working for the City of Regina as a Safety Consultant, a job he was very proud of.

Patrick’s hobbies included refinishing furniture, riding his motorcycle, hunting, doing home renovations and travelling.

Patrick was predeceased by his father Honoré Normand.

September 21, 2019 - Connie Normand

Today is our anniversary. I find myself thinking about our wedding day, the best day of my life, and what we would be doing today to celebrate our life together. You were an incredible person. You could be frustrating and stubborn, but you were also thoughtful, kind, and considerate, and I knew I could always count on you. Every day with you was an adventure. Every day without you has been painfully unbearable. Every day I hope that I will wake up, that none of this will be real, and you will walk in the door. Every day you are not here is one more day I don’t get to see your face, hear your laugh, hold you in my arms, kiss you, or tell you I love you.

We had many amazing times together and I am very grateful for the years that we had. You are in my heart always. You are my husband, my best friend and the love of my life. I know how much you love me and I love you. Forever.❤️
