Patrick Gary Christie of Calgary, Alberta formerly of Medicine Hat, Alberta passed away on May 4th, 2013 at the Rockyview Hospital in Calgary at the age of 49 years.  Patrick is survived by his mother Tressa Christie; sisters Shawn (Larry) Matthews of High River, AB; Cindy (Dana) Smith, of Vernon, BC; brother Kelly Christie of Edmonton, AB; niece Kara Matthews and nephews Gary Matthews, Jamie Edison, Colin Smith and Ethan Christie.  Pat was predeceased by his father Gary (2010) and his brother Kirk (2012).  Pat was born in California where he spent his early years and then moved with his family to Brooks, Alberta and eventually to Medicine Hat, Alberta.  He loved music, especially playing his bass guitar, and was not shy about sharing his opinion of both.  Pat’s life was forever altered by a traumatic brain injury in 2000.  Although he lost many things as a result of the injury, he never lost his love for life, or his ability to laugh.  He will be forever missed.  A Memorial Service will be held at Hillside Cemetery in Medicine Hat, Alberta, time and date to be announced.  Memorial Donations can be made to the Halvar Jonson Centre for Brain Injury at the Centennial Centre for Mental Health and Brain Injury, 46 Street S, Ponoka, Alberta, T4J 1R8.  To send condolences and view Patrick’s Tribute Page please visit www.lylereeves.com .  Caring for the family is Lyle Reeves Funerals of High River (Craig Snodgrass) 403.652.4242.
