With great sadness we say goodbye to Patrick Mitchell Pritchard, who passed away peacefully at Toronto General Hospital in the early hours of December 22, 2021, following a sudden battle with cancer. He will be lovingly remembered by his wife of eight years, Christine, his son August, and his parents, David and Minerva. He was 45.

Patrick (sometimes simply known as “P” or “P-Funk” to his friends) was a lifelong learner, with a mind always hungry for knowledge, and this is reflected in his many, many degrees and certifications. He liked to joke that he wanted to have as many letters after his name as were in his name. This great curiosity was also reflected in his love of building and tinkering, especially with retro technology both in hardware and software. He had a unique way of twisting words and could take you on a wild linguistic journey that didn’t make sense on the surface, but actually made perfect sense. It was called Plogic.

Though he worked in technology, his passion was for photography, animals, comics, and those closest to him. He was fiercely loyal to his friends and family, and a devoted father to August. He was unafraid to speak his mind, incredibly self-sufficient, and there wasn’t a challenge he faced that he couldn’t overcome. He will be deeply missed.

A private memorial service will be held at Mount Pleasant Funeral Centre. The interment will follow at Prospect Cemetery.

Friends and family are invited to join the service virtually on Saturday, January 8, 2022 at 10am.
A link to livestream the service will become available at the top of this page at 9:45 am, January 8th.
Please respect the privacy of the Pritchard Kwun family, no screenshots or recordings of the service are to be made.
