1946 -2022

Patrick Ricardo DeMattos lived and died on his own terms.

He even wrote his parting words: “Big man had to go. He left no return address and said goodbye to his loving family, who sent him off with blood pudding and pone.”

That was Patrick, a warrior, who battled to the end, playing dominos and telling jokes.

He will be greatly missed by his wife and friend Helen, his son Sean, daughter Lesley, DIL Melissa, SIL David, and his grandchildren, Jaiden, Jet, and Bo.

Patrick touched many lives, and leaves behind a legacy of generosity, smiles, laughter, and love. RIP, Poppa.
