On Sunday October 22, 2023, at AgeCare Samac Oshawa, Gary passed away peacefully with family by his side.

Gary was the dear son of the late Joseph and Eunice Patton (nee McCrae).

He was a loving husband of 59 years to Candy Patton (nee McAfee) and father to Jennifer Patton (James Dick), Joanne Burke (Jude), Glen Patton (Crystal).

He was the proud grandfather of Cameron, Hudson, Jocelyn, Renee and Cadence and special uncle to Cristal (Mike), Michael (Shelley), Joy (Mike), Kim (Tony), Vance (Wayne), Shawn (Jackie), Shane (Angela) and Daphne and predeceased by Mark and Samantha. Gary was a caring uncle, brother-in-law and friend to many.

Gary was a Constable with the Oshawa Police Department for 12 years and retired from Ontario Hydro (Pickering and Darlington) after 30 years of service. He was an avid fisherman and hunter and spent his most treasured days cottaging with his family.

He will be sadly missed and fondly remembered by family and friends on Saturday, October 28, 2023 at Mount Lawn Funeral Home, 21 Garrard Road, Whitby, for visitation 11 a.m. to 12 p.m. followed immediately by a Celebration of Life. A private family internment will take place at a later date.
