PATTEN, William Howard
July 29, 1953 - April 2, 2014
It is with great sadness we announce the sudden passing of our beloved Billie who was tragically taken from us after a very short battle with liver cancer. Predeceased by his beloved daughter Tabitha, mother Flo, father Rod, sisters Louise (Weesie) and Debbie. He will be sorely missed by daughters Desire (Chris), Brandy (Nathan), and Christina (Troy); his grandchildren Alex, Austin, Dakota, Linden, and Axel; siblings Linda (Chris), Margie, Pete (Rhonda), Lloyd, Wyn (Rod), Debbie (family) and Harry (family); nieces Judy (Dwayne), Vicki (family), Shelly (family), Kristi (family) and Jenny; nephews Peter, Rob, Josh, Andre (family), Sheldon (family), former spouse and friend Linda, and many other family and friends, especially Rick and Glenna. Bill was an extremely kind and loving person. He was always there with a kind word of support, also a gentle talking-to when he thought it was needed. He gave his love unconditionally to all. He worked hard at being a support for all those he loved. He was always there when family and friends needed him. He will be greatly missed but never forgotten. There is a Celebration of Life at the Canadian Italian Hall, Port Alberni on Saturday, June 28, 2014 at 3:30 p.m. All are welcome. For more information, call Linda, (604) 798-9285. In lieu of flowers, a donation may be made to the Canadian Cancer Society.
