Born February 8th, 1974 in Vancouver, Patrick sadly passed away in Toronto on April 13, 2020 after a brief illness. Patrick leaves behind his sons Chase aged 8, and Zack aged 4, their mother Miranda, brother Darren and his wife Krista and their son Liam, and his parents Barbara and Larry Karasiuk.
Patrick was a born artist, a sketcher, a painter, a creator. He worked hard at his credentials, graduating Sheridan College, Vancouver Film School and the Ontario College of Art and Design (OCAD), studying classical and computer animation, as well as advertising. He was a natural at understanding and interpreting visual art, a passion he turned into a vocation as an art director in the advertising industry.
Always a free spirit, he often marched to a different drummer, always looking for an entertaining moment. Amassing a fortune was never his motivation, only to enjoy a good time with friends and family, a good soul and a kind heart. One quality he first showed in his youth and continued to develop later in life was his tenacity, always finding the means to do or accomplish whatever it was he wanted.
A family man he worshipped his two sons: Zack and Chase. His boys were his pride and joy and he spent his precious time with them starting new projects, flying drones, teaching them computer art or spending hours of fun time in the condo pool, just the three of them. And always hopeful that one of his sons would be good enough to one day play for the Maple Leafs, ever hopeful that some day his favourite team would win.
We will miss his ready smile and his laughter. Never egotistical and often self deprecating, he was someone you would like to go fishing or golfing with. He will be sorely missed by his friends and family. Rest in Peace, Patrick. God bless you.
The family would like to acknowledge the tremendous care and attention Patrick received during his brief stay at Toronto Western Hospital. We are grateful.
If desired, memorial donations may be made to the MLSE Foundation.

I remember spending a lot of time with Patrick one night at a party in high school and waking up the next day with my stomach muscles killing from laughing so hard. It felt like I had done 10,000 sit-ups. 10 years probably passed since high school ended before I saw Pat again and it was amazing to see that he had not changed. He was still the most welcoming, open-hearted, hilarious dude without a single bad bone in his body.
Pat was a constant inspiration in art class and helped me to learn that it was okay to let your weird thoughts out through creating art.
To the Karasiuk family, I’m so sorry for your loss.
Rest easy Patrick.

I’m so so sorry to hear of Patrick’s passing. As many have said, it is a complete shock, my heart goes out to everyone who knew and loved him. I’d like to take some time to say a few words about Patrick and my memories of him.
My family knew the whole Bolton/Vancouver Karasiuk clan pretty much my whole life. However, we’ll not talk of Mr K almost losing me on a train. I don’t really remember anything from the Vancouver days but I can vividly recall all the Hosler/Karasiuk get togethers in Ottawa and Bolton over the years. I recall all the times goofing with Patrick and his brother Darren, all the times staying up late driving all our parents nuts. I remember Patrick absolutely driving Darren insane and I remember the times we all simply played together as kids. I remember Patrick’s love of art and his free spirit….”Hey Brian”. I remember Patrick’s wedding to Miranda where we all had a great (maybe too good in my case) time. And lastly, and most profoundly, I fondly recall the final time Patrick and I and my family met up at my house and I remember his demonstration of his profound love for his family and his (then) new son Chase. I remember thinking “Patrick did it”. And he did.
I believe everybody who knew and loved Patrick can find solace and joy in their own memories of him.
Brian
