It is with great sadness we announce the passing of Patrick McLean in Kamloops on October 31, 2021 at age 86. Pat was born to Angelina McLean (née Carrier) and Ovila McLean in Kapuskasing, Ontario on June 25, 1935. Pat married Frances McLean (née Malo) in Timmins, Ontario on October 11, 1958 and moved to Kamloops in 1962 with their 3 children Ginette, Mitch, and Lise.

Pat was a tree faller (also operated all machinery) for most of his working days with Ed’s Logging Co. (Ed Kashluba) in the Kamloops area. He quit logging in 1995 and semi-retired working as a part-time courier service for several years before completely retiring. He was a profound lover of the outdoors, camping, fishing, and a true nature enthusiast. Pat loved his family deeply and loved to play crib with his grand children.
