Patrick Daniel Lavers

Anyone who knew Pat knew that he had a heart of gold and he would give you the shirt off his back to anyone in need. He was a hardworking man who had a strong passion for what he did. His work took him to Fort McMurray but home for Pat was always Nova Scotia. He was an avid lover of rock and roll, and could always be seen wearing a rock and roll t-shirt from his most recent adventure at a concert.

Pat adored his family but what was most precious to him were his nieces and nephews. He would often be heard asking “Who is your favourite uncle?” He will be held dearly as Uncle Pat in many hearts forever. He will be remembered as a fun-loving, generous man and will never be forgotten by anyone whose path he crossed.
