Patrick Burne
 On November 18, 1999, 25 year old Patrick Burne was killed instantly at the corners of Westney and Taunton Roads in Ajax, when a 4th time convicted drunk driver decided he was above the law...AGAIN. Returning from visiting his father in hospital, Patrick was hit by an oncoming vehicle being driven by a man with THREE times the legal limit of alcohol in his system.
Engaged to be married, Patrick's hopes and dreams and those of his fiancé, were instantly destroyed. He had a zest for life, loved horses and was dedicated to his parents. His sister feels the justice system let them down by allowing this man the freedom to drive. Never having gotten over the shock of his son's death, Patrick's father passed away in October 2001.
Patrick's mother recently attended a parole board hearing, where the offender having been sentenced to 66 months was released on day parole, after serving only part of the sentence. She continually fights against impaired driving.
