PATTERSON, Ijah

In loving memory of our dearly beloved and now departed son Ijah.

Ijah is incredibly cherished and missed by his father, mother, sister, grandparents, uncles, aunts, cousins, teenage second cousins, and friends.

Ijah N. Patterson was born at home in Gibsons, B.C. on Sept. 19, 2007 to Iwah Patterson and Shareen Archibald.

He was raised and nurtured on Saltspring Island, which he loved, from the age of 1 yr.

Surely he will be remembered by B.C. community members, as well as those in Hawaii and Oregon where he spent time, as a vibrant, creative, light filled child that engaged and delighted the hearts of many. Ijah made an impact on all who met him, and those who truly knew him loved him and felt his love for them.

Ijah had challenges as a youth but had recently devoted himself to moving forward in redemption of those difficulties. In a transcendent manner he extended himself in exceeding gestures of warmth, tenderness, and appreciation to those around him and made plans to better his life in so many ways.

This is his legacy and what comforts us now.

Mahalo nui loa Ijah. Aloha ‘oe
