PATRICK GEORGES BINNE

Condolences & Memories (19 entries)

• I met Patrick over 10 years ago, and worked to help him get to know God better. We built a close friendship and I still think about him all the time. With his birthday coming up in a few weeks, I'm thinking of him all the more. He is dearly missed and my heart goes out to his family who I'm sure are missing him more than I am. - Posted by: Robert Borgersen (Friend) on: Dec 23, 2019

• Patrick Binne I remember the warmth of your Smile and the way you lit up a Room. When I first heard you sing I was Truest blown away as your sound Was truly your own. You shared your music like you shared your smile, with all of your hear and your soul. I will miss the talks we used to have about the paths we share with mental health, and our love for life itself. I will miss you and all that you did to make others lives a little bit stronger from your music and your smile. Rest In Peace Mon Aime and may your songs always be on our hearts. I will miss you my friend! - Posted by: Harvey Duncan (Friend ) on: Oct 15, 2018

• Sue, I am sorry for what must be a terrible personal loss to you and your family. Dani McKinnon - Posted by: DANIELLE MCKINNON (Friend of Sue) on: Oct 12, 2018

• Patrick and I ran many races together in high school. I wasn't a bad runner, but I'm pretty confident that Patrick beat me every time. Aside from being talented, however, I will remember Patrick being kind and friendly in the most competitive of environments. No doubt he will be greatly missed by his family and friends, and my sympathies are with you. - Posted by: Daniel Narvey (Friend) on: Oct 11, 2018

• Our deepest condolences go out to your family. We watched Patrick grow from kindergarten on. We had him over for many birthday celebrations and later on for get togethers with school friends. His creative side and passion for many things in life made him such a conversationalist. He always took the time to come over and chat with parents. He not only spoke with words but with his big smile and deep penetrating eyes. Our last memory of him could not have been a better one! He sang and partied at our son's wedding. We will be forever grateful for what he added to our lives. Seek comfort in all the good times shared. Rest well Patrick! - Posted by: Michael et Nannette Langedock (Parents of Patrick's good friend) on: Oct 11, 2018

• Mes sincères condoléances à la famille et aux amis de Patrick. J'ai eu du plaisir à être le bassiste à Patrick dans un ou deux de ses groupes musicaux, il avait un vrai talent pour le chant et la guitare! Un esprit doux, vif et très intelligent! - Posted by: Dani Lavergne (Friend) on: Oct 10, 2018

• To Michel, Lorraine and family, I am so sorry for your loss. My heart goes out to you all. I had the chance to sit and speak with Patrick some time back. It was for a university project. I forget the details of it exactly but I remember him as a very sweet and gentle soul. May the comfort and support of family and friends give you strength during these difficult times. Know that you are loved and that my thoughts and prayers are with you all. - Posted by: Brigitte Dedieu (Friend) on: Oct 09, 2018

• My heart broke to hear of Patrick’s passing. He was a talented musician and we enjoyed many of his performances – at church, different coffee houses, and even to entertain people at a homeless shelter – you could tell he gave as much as he possibly could. He had a deep soul and a great sense of humour. The world will be a little less beautiful without his presence. Our sincere condolences to Michel, Lorraine and the rest of his family – there are no words. xo - Posted by: Krista Wiebe (Friend) on: Oct 08, 2018

• My prayers are with yous Annette and family at this difficult time . 🙏🏻 - Posted by: Claudette Pratcshler (Friend of Annette ) on: Oct 08, 2018

• I knew Patrick from Church. I especially got to know him in these last couple of years when I became member and Brother of the same church. He was definitely a very caring and loving individual. I had some good, deep conversations with him, and he was definitely an intelligent person. Unfortunately I never got to hang out with him much, as I would have like to more. My heart and prayers sincerely go out to his family, especially his parents, Michel and Lorraine. My deepest condolences. I will pray for your mourning and loss at this difficult time, and pray that you may be comforted. Sincerely, J-P - Posted by: J-P Perrier (Friend) on: Oct 07, 2018

• Patrick had the kindest and gentleness of soul's one can ever hope to have met or even have. Knowing this man during the last five years and having a spiritual relationship with with to the point of calling him my brother. It was a treat to have him in the singing ministry, seeing his performances on some Sundays and at Joe Blacks. Miss you and our conversations my friend. My heart and condolences to the loss of your son and to the entire Binne family - Posted by: Chris M Iszak (Friend & fellow church member) on: Oct 07, 2018

• Patrick was undeniably talented, he had a heart of gold and a smile that could light a room. The conversations we had were always profound and enlightening. I met Patrick at Ecole Dieppe 8 years ago. I was always so proud of him for leaving his role as an Educational Assistant to pursue his passion for music because it was something I never had the courage to do. He always wanted to help others, this was very evident in the fact that with his degree he would be able to provide music therapy to those in need. He attended my 30th bday at the Limelight and sang “A whole new World” with a buddy of his, and in true fashion, peoples heads turned. It was so silly, it was fantastic! My heart breaks for him and his family... you will suffer no more Patrick. Repose toi mon ami. - Posted by: Melissa Johnson (Friend and coworker) on: Oct 07, 2018

• Patrick was a gentlemen and friend I met at dieppe and reconnected with at Moksha. He volunteered his time helping my men singers at Shaftesbury making a deep impression on them as a person and a musician. It saddens me that he was in such tremendous pain but I take comfort in knowing our loving Lord Jesus will now be wrapping his healing hands of love around him and he will forever be at peace. Peace to you my friend. - Posted by: Andrea wicha (Friend and coworker ) on: Oct 07, 2018

• Veuillez recevoir mes sinceres condolences pour le deces de votre fils. J’ai appris sa mort avec un grand bouleversement. La mort d’un enfant est une epreuve incommensurable. Les mots n’apaisent pas une tristesse comme celle-la et j’espere que votre courage vous guidera pour affronter la vie. Le deces de Patrick laisse un grand vide dans se monde et dans nos coeurs. - Posted by: Veronique (Plamondon) Fortier (Friend/amie to Denyse Pirroton, met Patrick through my daughter) on: Oct 06, 2018

• Patrick wasn’t someone you could walk past at CMU without stopping to say hello. He had a way of drawing you into conversation, which no matter what subject it started on would inevitably lead back to the topic of music. I spent quite a few nights with Patrick at Folio listening to him and Helens other jazz students singing with the band. He often was the MC and liked to prepare bad puns to share with the audience between performers. He was such a charismatic singer, and when he sang you could witness the way music moved his heart. I am blessed to have been able to sing a duet ‘Baby it’s cold outside’ with Patrick one Christmas at our jazz nights. You couldn’t find a person with a more genuine heart than Patrick. I wish he was able to share more of his music with us. - Posted by: Elowen Braunstein-Black (Friend) on: Oct 06, 2018

• Patrick and I were in the same graduating class at Louis Riel. We weren't really friends in high school but connected later in life through a mutual friend. He later played guitar at my wedding and the song was a special request. He played an acoustic version of Journey's "Don't Stop Believing", which is my favourite song. Every time I hear their song, it takes me back to my wedding day and I think of Patrick playing the guitar. He was a sweet, intelligent, giving person and had so much more to accomplish. I count myself lucky that I got to know him and he truly will be missed. Repose toi mon ami. - Posted by: Sylvie Isley (friend) on: Oct 06, 2018

• J'offre mes plus sincères condoléances à tous les membres de la famille. Mon fils, Stéphane, a fréquenté le Collège Louis Riel. En plus d'être sur l'équipe de course de fonds ils étaient aussi tous les deux percussionists dans l'harmonie. Stéphane garde d'excellents souvenirs des moments qu'ils ont passé ensemble. Il se souvient de Patrick comme étant "super gentil" en plus d'être un musicien talentueux. Stéphane, lui aussi, offre ses sincères condoléances.

• Michel, Lorraine and family - we were saddened to hear of the loss of your son Patrick. We recall him growing up and saw him a few times in later years when he assisted with the concerts for the Wind Ensemble at Vincent Massey. Our thoughts and prayers are with you as you face this time of sorrow. Peter and Marian Roth - Posted by: Peter Roth (Former Co-worker of Michel) on: Oct 06, 2018
