Patrick Blakney

Passed Away on November 14, 2024

It is with great sadness that we announce the sudden and unexpected passing of Patrick Blakney on November 14, 2024, in Whitby, ON. Patrick was the dearly loved husband of Joan, a beloved father of two, and a cherished Poppa to four grandchildren and three great-grandchildren. He will be deeply missed by all who knew him.

Patrick was the son of John Henry Blakney and Myrtle Horseman and a brother to 11 siblings. His warmth, humor, and love for life left a lasting impression on his family and friends. He was truly one of a kind.

In accordance with Patrick’s wishes, there will be no visitation, funeral service, or celebration of life. Instead, he requested that donations be made to the Brain Cancer Research Department at the Hospital for Sick Children in his memory. His ashes will be returned to New Brunswick in the spring of 2025.

Ride on, Poppa, doing your pop-a-wheelies and donuts! Your spirit will live on in the hearts of those who love you.
