Beloved husband of Lynn (Bryant) Burns. Loving father of Jason Burns (Jackie), Jeff Burns, and Karrie Attamanchuk (Corey) and loving stepfather of Melissa Palladino (Vince) and Kyle Courville.

Pat was an avid outdoorsman who had a passion for hunting. He was happiest when spending time at his property at Meldrum Bay which he fondly called his playground out in the bush. He had worked at Vale for over 30 years, having an inspired work ethic. He was proud of his plateworking skills. The focus of his life was his family, taking great pride and interest in their activities and accomplishments. He will be remembered as a devoted husband, father, and grandfather, and the light of his life will be cherished by all who knew and loved him.
