Alec Donald Pattison came into this world in a hurry, and he never stopped. He was always busy, never stopping to take a breath. When it came to fixing anything most came his way, whether it be bikes, cars, or snowmobiles, he could fix anything. His smile could light up a room, and he could talk his way into, or out of just about anything.

We will miss you my son, but now you are at peace, and you can finally rest. I am sure you made many friends from Ontario, Alberta and Saskatchewan, and to those, I wish you peace as well.
