PATTERSON, Warren Philip - (July 23, 1950 – July 24, 2021)
With unspeakable sadness, Warren, our much admired fellow traveller on life's road; lost his final battle one day after his 71st birthday.
The fight of his life began almost 5 years ago and was never-ending. One health crisis after another was put in his path.
With undeniable will of a fearless warrior; he faced every battle head on. His name should be Bravery.
Everyone who had the fortune to know Warren concurs; loyal, protective, trustworthy, interested and interesting, deep thinking, innovative, competitive, unconventional, relentless, spirited, dependable, with a heck of a wry sense of humour, unmatched in stubbornness and most important, a gentleness and caring in his soul only a trusted few were lucky enough to experience.
