It is with deep sadness that we announce the passing of our beloved husband, father, and brother. Pat passed away at the age of 62 on June 25, 2016 after a lengthy battle with COPD. Pat grew up on the family farm in Gleichen, AB. He then left the farm and joined the oil patch. After moving to Red Deer he met and married the love of his life, Ruth. They returned to the family farm where Pat continued to farm and raise his family up until his retirement in 2013. Pat is survived by his loving wife of 32 years, Ruth; his children, Andrea Burne and Garret Burne; and siblings James (Jim) Burne and Yvonne Gravette (James). He is predeceased by his parents Robert “Bob” and Gilberte “Gill” Burne and recently sister-in-law Candice “Candie” Burne. A come and go Celebration of Life will be held at the Cluny Hall on Monday July 4, 2016 from 2:00 p.m. – 5:00 p.m. Pat’s family would like to thank the doctors and nursing staff from Unit 39 at the PLC for providing comfort and care during his hospitalizations.
