PATRICK ROMAIN
JOSEPH ALLARD

It is with heavy hearts and great sadness that we announce the sudden passing of Patrick Romain Joseph Allard, 42, on July 19, 2023. 

 

Beloved son of Ginette Allard, Romain Allard and Wendy (stepmom); siblings, Natalie Allard-Tinkler (Dale), Joëlle Sirois, Amber (Jeff), Brett, and Ryan. He will be dearly missed by his favorite nieces, Émilienne, Sophie and Léa, as well as his friends and extended family. 

 

Patrick was born in Winnipeg, Manitoba, but spent his childhood living in St. Adolphe, Manitoba. He was a happy bubbly child, full of energy and adventure. He spent lots of time with his family camping and fishing. After he completed his GED, he went on to CDI college to complete a Network Administration diploma, as he was always very technologically savvy. He used this knowledge in his future jobs. The last few years he had been on a leave from his work, but he enjoyed his quiet lifestyle. He often helped his neighbors fix their electronics and enjoyed making meals for a friend in the building as well as his mom. He was a great cook and loved making stir fry. 

 

Pat will be remembered for his quick wit and his luck at cards (cribbage) and word games. He loved doing word jumbles and crosswords. Pat was an avid gamer and enjoyed scary movies and sci-fi books. He loved animals and had adopted a neighbour’s cat that he named Yumi which he made a welcome party for and to whom he appointed his step-brother Brett as the godfather. Thank you, Brett, for adopting Yumi. 

 

Pat liked baseball and hockey, as well as lawn games with his family. He had three adoring nieces that he spoiled on birthdays and at Christmas. For their last birthdays this March he gifted them with flower seeds and the girls have planted these sunflowers and daisies in his honour.

 

Our hearts are broken to lose you Pat, you are so missed by us all. 

 

Our thanks to the paramedics, staff and Chaplain at St. Boniface hospital for their kindness and care. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to Sara Riel Inc.

 

A celebration of life will be held at 2pm on Friday, August 11, 2023, at Riverwood Church Warehouse (270 Gordon Avenue, Winnipeg, MB).

 

Pat’s family kindly requests that all of his friends and relatives take a few minutes to honour his memory by sharing photos, memories, and stories, using the comment section on this page.

There is much sadness in my heart in learning of your passing PAT.  Most heartfelt sympathies,  from my family and myself, to you Ginette, Romain, Natalie, and Joelle, and all your families.  I remember you PAT, as a kind, gentle, and loving soul.  And yes, a mastermind at cards and board games..  You thought me all your tricks at HAND and Foot!  I can just envision you up there playing cards with your much loved and missed Memere Allard.

My brother Dan became quick friends with pat when we lived across the street in st adolphe. Although I was a few years younger than he and my brother , I remember playing outside with pat, bike rides, marbles in the lawn, cops and robbers. Such good memories had as kids and teenagers. what I will always remember pat for is his extraordinary kind way about him as well as his sense of humour. I can hear him laughing now as I write this. His big smiles and big heart. I haven’t seen pat since I was a teenager/young adult. Ironically later in my adult years, in completely unrelated events/work/connections I met 2 of his aunts, a couple of his cousins and got to see where this special kindness comes from. To the entire Allard family and all of his other family and friends, my deepest condolences to all of you on this huge loss. Hope to encounter you again in some form/life pat! Rest in peace.  Love, Melissa

It's so hard to write this, so I'll keep it short. I don't know what to say, my heart breaks for his family and friends, Pat was an integral part of my childhood, moving in across from Pat when we were maybe 5 and 6 years old, we quickly became friends, and all the way into my young adult life, Pat and I spent much time together, playing games, talking about girls and singing, a lot of singing. I could ramble, but instead, please listen to this song I recorded, it's not my song but I changed the words for my dearest friend Pat, I'll miss you always.

I didn’t get to know Pat well until a few years ago. Then he started to come over with his mom, Ginette, to hang out and play cards. It didn’t seem to matter what game we played, he would always win!! He loved listening to music and having Chinese food. I know by hearing from his mom that he was a great cook. He liked spicy food and sauces. His mom would always go home with meals to enjoy for the next few days.  Pat was a loving and caring family guy. He was always polite and enjoyable to be around. He will be greatly missed. My heart goes out to his grieving family, especially his mom. He was such an integral part of her daily life. Rest in peace Pat! Love from Auntie Gwen❤

I met Patrick once...he was a good friend of my good friend who lived in the same block with him.  Patrick and James loved to play cards...seriously cards, lol.  James would chip in some cash and Patrick would send him down a chef's delight dinner.  James would brag on Patrick on how good he could cook.  He is sorrily missed and I just want to let the family know how sad James is with his passing.  Patrick, we played a few rounds of cards and raised a glass or two in your honour, rest in peace...Into the Mystic.

Patrick, I am heartbroken that your life was shortened so suddenly and I am praying that your life beyond this one is filled with celebration, that you are embraced by memere, and pepere, and oncle Robert, Matthieu, and all of our amazing ancestors, that you are greeted with joy and immense love and peace and ease. You were an integral part of my teenage years and I absolutely adored galavanting around the streets of St. B, bowling, smoking, sharing in our exploration of life, and singing Inside Out by Eve 6 at the top of our lungs over and over and over again. I still rock out to that song and I think of you every time. You are missed, loved and cherished. Ta cousine,  Misha ❤

Tellement triste de ne plus t'avoir parmi nous Patrick❤! Je me souviens de ton petit rire contagieux et ton beau sourire quand je vous gardais à St-Adolphe....tu aimais déjà bcp jouer des jeux! Encore plus triste est le fait qu'avec une si grande famille, j'en ai appris plus à ton sujet dans ces beaux messages de tes cousins ou en parlant avec tes soeurs ces dernières semaines que d'avoir pu les découvrir en personne pendant le temps précieux ensemble dans ce monde!? J'espère qu'on aura la chance de se rattraper quand on se retrouvera! Amour et grosses caresses à tous....tante Janelle Xoxoxo

❤❤❤ Dearest Pat. I have no words.....you were and will always be such a kind hearted wonderful soul beyond comparison. Love you more than words and I will miss you brother/cous.  We spent soo much time together on the planet. Where to begin.  Couple memories to share. I will attempt to resume the hundreds of visits we had over the years.  Your favorite games were cribbage, dice, spill and spell, and on occasion darts. Our routine would be to get together, have some drinks and play hours and hours of games. He always loved adding small bets to games to make them more interesting. For the record, I may have won 2 out of 100 rounds of spill and spell...he was a veritable master at that game.  I will never forget and always value the innumerable deep conversations we had about life and the battle of primordial forces and how reality works. We would banter for hours and sometimes get extremely passionate about our beliefs. Pat enjoyed seeking truth and finding out the why of things.  Pat loved sports. We went on at least 20 occasions to Woodier park in St.Boniface and he would bring his white car to the park with me and have 2 baseball gloves with a couple balls, a football, a baseball bat, a few golf clubs and tons of golf balls. We would change sports and just go at it for hours. Just enjoying the physical activity and the simplicity of being in the moment and not always needing words.  I worked at Little Caesar's for almost 3 years and would visit at least twice per week for a couple years straight after shifts. I would bring Pat free pizza and we would have visits. Pat always had a heart of gold and would cook for me every once in while and he was an excellent cook. I remember visiting one time and Pat had prepared 24 different triscuit cracker medleys with each one having a different spice and coating. Was super amazing and soo creative.  Pat would treat others with kindness and respect. He loved visiting his Dad and playing pool for hours on end.  You will and are already dearly missed Pat. Thank you for your precious existence and everything we shared. You will forever hold a spot in my heart and soul bro!!!! Enjoy the other side mang, we will link up when I finish my turn on this funky thing we call life. To finish, I will quote a dope ass song you loved. Micky Rourke. "Who's the baddest mothafucka out there!!! HoUUUUU HAAhhhh!!!" Pardon the language, I am sure Pat will get a laugh out of this quirky ending lol. One love ❤❤❤❤❤
