It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Adam Patterson on Monday, February 15, 2021, at the age of 58 in his hometown, Bolton, Ontario, surrounded by his loved ones. Dearly loved husband of Kathie and loving father of Jessica and Connor. Son of the late Rose & Gerry Patterson and loved brother of Linda, Greg, Kim (Satch), Jan (Joe) and Sharon (Mark). Cherished son-in-law of Lois and Gord Root. Close friend to countless in the local hockey community and neighbourhood. Adam’s light-hearted and welcoming nature was contagious to those around him. He was a hard-working and enthusiastic employee of Honda up until retirement in 2019, where he gained many strong and long-lasting friendships. He loved biking all over the back roads and forests of Caledon. Adventurous to say the least. He loved playing hockey, watching the Toronto Maple Leafs and spending time with his wife, children and pet more than words could say. Amazing husband, loving dad, brother, uncle, and son.

To the Patterson family, I was very saddened and shocked to hear that Adam has passed. Adam played hockey with my group on Friday nights in Bolton for some time. Adam was a really nice guy, and a really good hockey player. My thoughts and prayers are with Adam and his family. Angelo Sperduti (Friday Night Oldtimers)

Dearest Kathie, Jessica and Connor,
For 20 years we have had the great privilege of living next door to an incredible man – your husband/father. If one were to write a book on how to be a good neighbour, Adam would certainly be the star in that book! Always there, willing to lend a helping hand. We looked forward to seeing Adam and sharing the latest news – on our driveways or in our garages. We will miss his ready smile and wonderful laugh but feel so lucky that we have had him in our lives. We will hold the countless images in our minds of Adam saddling up on his bike, heading out to conquer some challenging Caledon mountain biking paths…Happy Trails, Adam!
We send our deepest condolences to you and your family.
Roger and Frances Tribert
…and Loki!

Victor St Hilaire and family
Dear Kathie, Jessica and Connor,
We have been blessed to have Adam as our friend and neighbor for close to 20 years. We looked forward to chatting with him while he tended to the yard, barbequed, or geared up for a bike ride. He always had a positive energy that quickly lifted anyone’s mood. Adam never complained not even about the weather! He was very wise as he only gave his attention to the things that he valued. His happy spirit, goodness and dignity had a profound impact on our family. We will miss him dearly and will always cherish Adam in our hearts.
Our most heartfelt condolences to your family.
Victor, Josie, Lauren and Emily
Terry Lahey and family
Dear Pattersons,
I knew Adam as Jan’s brother. Though I met him infrequently he always spoke to me with so much warmth and kindness and he was always so interested to talk with me. I realize from the messages of condolences left by his closest neighbours and friends that I wasn’t getting any special treatment — this was how Adam was with everyone. He was such a genuine and friendly person.
My condolences to all of you,
Terry Lahey
Steve Smith
RIP Adam.

Adam will forever be in the hearts of those who knew him and I wish you my deepest condolences during this difficult time.

Sharlene Mackie
It is with heavy heart I write this, I cannot believe that it is real. There was never a better man, husband, father, son, SIL, brother, uncle, friend and so much more. I know there are no words that can mend your broken hearts but please know how much we loved Adam and what an honour it was to know and talk to him. He had such a gentle way about him that made you feel comfortable no matter what it was about. I know he leaves a huge hole in your lives and nothing or noone can make that better but I pray that with time, you can focus more on all the good times you had together and all the life lessons he taught us all. I would like to be half the person he was and then I would be doing something. Please know we are here for you anytime you need. Love Sharlene, Nehat, Melissa, Taras, Michelle, Brad, Flakron & Artan

Dear Kathie, Jessica and Connor;
Please accept our deepest condolences for the loss of your wonderful husband and devoted father. Adam was truly a gentleman.

We are truly thankful to have had Adam as a friend and neighbour and will cherish these memories.
You are all in our thoughts and prayers,

On behalf of the entire Rescorl family we would like to express our deepest condolences on the loss of Adam.

Lea Hutton
Dear Kathie, Jessica, Connor and family
We are all so saddened by the loss of Adam, he was truly one of a kind. His love for you all was so clear – whether it was jumping up in the stands when Connor scored a big goal or when he pulled out his phone to show pictures of Jessica at graduation holding a trophy almost as big as her! He left us all too soon and his smile and easy going nature will be missed.
Hugs to you all,
Lea Hutton

I’m very sorry to hear about the passing of Adam. I didn’t know Adam that well but everytime I saw him he always had a smile on his face and was always open for a conversation. He was such a happy joyful guy. This was very hard to take in hearing about this, I can’t even imagine how tough it is for your family right now in these tough times. The Patterson’s are by far one of the nicest family’s I have ever met and Connor being one of my best friends for awhile and someone I can always trust.

Dave Doyle
Dear Patterson family…..when my family moved to Caledon East in 1981, Adam was the first local person to accept and ‘hang out’ with my three brothers and sister. We were fascinated by Adam’s ability to ‘fly’ on his motorcycle. We spent lots of time with Adam back then and he has been referenced many times throughout my families memories since then. I am sincerely saddened by his passing and hope you can find comfort wherever you can. Sincerely, Dave Doyle
