Patrick "Pat" James McGouran

Loving husband of Leslie Luciani, son of Louise and Thomas McGouran and Georgie and Lou Luciani. Dear brother of Eileen, Alan, Anne, Lisa, Linda, Rocky and David. Uncle to Nicole, Lauryn, Ryan, Samantha Wilford, Matthew, Thomas, Samantha Luciani, Amber, Joe, Myla, Emilia, Emery, Rich, Cori, James, Shelby and Toby.

Growing up in Toronto, Pat was one of the first graduates from Ryerson’s Radio and Television Arts degree program. He saved his part-time job money to buy a Toyota Corolla when he was 18, when a school chum was looking for a travel companion to Europe. It was goodbye car and hello world. He never looked back (and didn’t get that Toyota until he married Leslie.) Pat was an adventurer and was not afraid of anything. He travelled to every continent (save Antarctica) and he hiked, climbed, canoed and kayaked them all.

Kidney disease curtailed his travel and adventuring in the last few years. We want to give thanks to the caring Nurses, PSWs and Doctors at the Yee Hong Dialysis Clinic and at Scarborough General Hospital for their kindness and compassion. Memorial donations may be made to the Kidney Foundation of Canada at kidney.ca

As per Pat’s wishes there will not be a funeral or memorial service. Cremation has taken place and his ashes will be cast upon the oceans of the world as that was his favourite place to be.
