Funeral service for Warrant Officer Patrice Vincent - A final tribute




28 October 2014 - Winnipeg, Man. 1 Canadian Air Division
The military funeral of Warrant Officer Patrice Vincent will be held on Saturday, November 1st, 2014, at Cocathédrale Saint-Antoine-de-Padoue in Longueuil, Quebec.
Warrant Officer Patrice Vincent was killed while on duty on October 20, 2014, in a hit-and-run incident in Saint-Jean-sur-Richelieu, Québec.
Citizens who wish to honour Warrant Officer Vincent are invited to pay tribute on Saturday November 1st, 2014, along the funeral procession route which will begin at the Yves Légaré funeral complex in Longueuil, Que. The procession is scheduled to begin at the complex at 10:15 a.m. heading to the Cocathédrale Saint-Antoine-de-Padoue via Marie-Victorin boulevard, rue du Bord de l’Eau Est, Grant St. and Saint-Charles St. West
As per the wishes of the family, attendance at the church will be restricted to invited guests only. Following the service, military units and uniformed service members are invited to assemble on Saint-Charles St. to pay their final respects as the procession passes on route to a private interment.
Members of the Vincent family have asked the media to respect their privacy during this difficult time. For now, they do not wish to address the media, preferring to focus on the use of tools such as a possible Facebook memorial page dedicated to Warrant Officer Vincent.
Quick Facts
  • Warrant Officer Patrice Vincent served 28 years as a firefighter in the Royal Canadian Air Force. He was part of 438 Tactical Helicopter Squadron based in St-Hubert, Quebec.
  • He enlisted in the Canadian Armed Forces in May 1986 and during his career he was posted to Valcartier (Que.), Comox (B.C.), Halifax (NS), Trenton (Ont.), Esquimalt (B.C.), Edmonton (Alta.), North Bay (Ont.), Montreal (Que.) and Saint-Hubert (Que.).
  • Warrant Officer Vincent served aboard Her Majesty’s Canadian Ships CALGARY, ALGONQUIN WINNIPEG, OTTAWA and ST JOHN'S.
His death is not a "sexy" as Cpl Cirillo's but it is just as tragic. While his family has asked for privacy, i still believe we should remember.
