Pat was predeceased by his parents Mary and Patrick Martin of Brent's Cove, Newfoundland.
Pat was born on December 14, 1942 in Brent's Cove, Newfoundland. He was the first son of 14 children and had many great childhood memories to share of growing up in a large family in rural Newfoundland. Pat worked as a boiler maker for 45 years in various places across the country and made lasting friendships where ever he went. Pat enjoyed camping and fishing and his family was very important to him. He also had a story or a joke to share with his buddies over a coffee or a brew. Pat moved his family to Logan Lake in 1985 and has enjoyed retirement there for the past six years.
