On May 3rd, 2021 Patrick Bernard Allison was called home, God came for his son. He was 65. For us, he was taken too soon and too fast. He was admitted to the hospital, though we all had high hopes he would come home. God had a different plan and needed Patrick with him. The world around us has changed and made grieving for a loved one very difficult. Sickness has become us, and we learn to cope from a distance. Even though Patrick passed away on May 3rd, his spirit, passion, and wise words live on through us. He is forever in our hearts. Patrick lived his life so deeply and knew god. He was not afraid. Goodbyes are only for those who loved with their eyes because ones who love with their heart and soul, there is never a goodbye. Until we meet again.
In addition to his loving wife Diana Allison, Patrick is survived by his grateful children Duane, Zorina and Ryan Allison. Along with his 5 granddaughters, Cheyenne, Tayah, Avery, Layla, and Isabella. Patrick was a provider, and always made sure his family was taken care of. His grandchildren were the apple of his eye, and he would always say children were a blessing to his life.

He was a man of many trades and would tell anyone proudly. Patrick worked for York Region, in housing operations. He enjoyed so many things in life. Such as fishing, hunting, and the sunrise on his morning walks with the dog. He found Solace with nature.
