Joseph KILPATRICK Obituary

KILPATRICK, Joseph Sean It is with great sadness that family and friends of Sean announce his passing. Sean passed peacefully at his home in Toronto on April 21, 2019. He was 65 years young. Predeceased by his parents, Joseph and Maureen and also his brother Austin James. Leaving to mourn his sister, Nora, his brother Barry, his niece, Honor, his nephew, Conaire, his wife for many years, Trudi, his best friend, Andrew and many other relatives and friends who had the good fortune to know him. Sean was a true gentleman who spent his days trying to help others in whatever ways he could. Being a cancer survivor, Sean volunteered with the Princess Margaret Hospital to help others cope with the disease. Sean was a sensitive, educated, well-travelled, modest and very generous soul.

Sean will be so very greatly missed by so many and will forever live on in our hearts. Friends and family may call at the Turner & Porter Yorke Chapel, 2357 Bloor St. W.

While out walking in Birchcliff with my Emmett (The Airedale) we would often run into Sean and his Brinny (The Welsh Terrier). Sean would always say to Brinny "Look, Brin, it's a bigger you" and from there him and I would shoot the breeze while Emmy' and Brin had their little visit. I liked talking to Sean, he was a very kind and gentle person, always friendly and polite. He clearly loved his dog. I was shocked and saddened when I heard of your passing. Both Emmett and I will miss seeing you and Brinny on our walks.
Rest in peace, Sean.

-Lonnie and Emmett.
