It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Patrick Joseph Lawrence Goodrow, born on February 15, 1954, in Hamilton, Ontario and passed away peacefully at home on September 25, 2023, in Mississauga, Ontario.

He was a loving companion of Donna Morgan, former husband of Jackie Goodrow, and a devoted father to his daughters Anne Goodrow (Jason), Dr. Meghan Goodrow (Logan), and Cristin Goodrow. He was also a proud grandfather to Brinton, McKye, Taylor and Skylar. Patrick was pre-deceased by his parents George Goodrow and Norma Wilshire (nee Conway). He is survived by his brothers Mike Goodrow (Sue), John Goodrow (Janice), his sister Joanne Alexander (Jim), nieces Martha Goodrow, Hilary Goodrow, and Marie Alexander (Vince), his nephew Barclay Goodrow (Madison) and step-nephew Brandon Rae. Pre-deceased by his niece Jacqueline Goodrow, step-niece Lisa Wuohela, and his nephew Tim Goodrow. He also will be missed by many Goodrow cousins.

Patrick was a wonderful man who always had the biggest personality in the room. He was the first to greet you with a warm bear hug and a smile. Patrick was a man of many stories and jokes, and he had a special talent of being able to make everyone around him laugh. He had a positive outlook on life and was always willing to lend an ear and a helping hand.

Patrick was a graduate of St. Lawrence College in Kingston, where he earned the title of Arm-Wrestling Champion, amongst other "social" titles. He was a successful entrepreneur, having owned and grown T-Goods Sportswear Ltd. He fondly spoke of his days in Normandale, a place that carried a lot of history, memories, and loving friendships. Many winters were spent enjoying the warmth of sunny Florida, taking advantage of a Christmas day swim. He also delighted in spreading Christmas cheer donning Santa’s red suit. He took immense pride in his home, ensuring that his lawn and his neighbours' lawns were always immaculate.

Other passions included his red convertible Mustang, boating, baseball, spending time with his grandchildren, conversations over a warm cup of coffee, and challenging his family to a daily game of wordle. Patrick was a music lover and could be found singing along to the oldies, with a special affinity for the late, great Elvis.

We will be hosting a Celebration of Life at a later date. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made in Patrick’s memory to a charity of your choice.

Patrick was a loving and devoted father, grandfather, brother, uncle, and companion. He will be deeply missed by all who knew and loved him.
