William "Billy" David Patterson

William David Patterson was born on October 1, 1967, in Toronto, Ontario. William is survived by his three children, Jessica (Austin), Billie-Jo, and Dan (Angela), life-long partner, Denise, three step-children, Kristin (Shawn), Ashley, and Matthew (Melissa), sister Debbie (Alex), as well as 13 grandchildren, many aunts, uncles, cousins and friends. He was predeceased by his parents, Madelaine Gallinger and Andrew Patterson.

At the young age of 12, Billy defied all odds by surviving a double amputation caused by electrocution. He lived by the motto "they told me I couldn't, so I did!" Billy had a strong love for his friends and family, kareoke, his wood work but his one true passion was to be out on his John Deere. 

There will be no visitation or funeral, at Billy's wish, but a celebration of life will be announced at a later date.
