Wojcik's Funeral Chapel - Patrick Shoenut Funeral Arrangements


PATRICK SHOENUT

            With great sadness we announce the passing of Patrick on Saturday, April 27, 2013. To paraphrase a favorite author, “he died of a long word of the heart”.
            Left to cherish Patrick’s memory are his loving wife Beth, daughter Meredith (Kevin Swibaker), and granddaughter Muirenn; Michigan family: mother Beatrice Daniel, sisters Marianne (Marcus Helms), Diane (David Rodriquez) and Lynn Shoenut Yaney; brothers Tim (Nancy) and Tony Daniel (Karen); and many friends and relatives across Canada and the United States. He was predeceased by brother Christopher and father Bob Daniel of Riverview, Michigan and his grandparents Ernie and Francis LaCroix, and Bernard and Zelpha Daniel.
            In the 1990s, Patrick established a laboratory to study esophageal motility and pH in various surgical and medical conditions. He worked with such diligence that he earned for himself the reputation of becoming an international authority on the subject, having published over 50 peer-reviewed papers in medical science journals.  In recent years, Patrick’s work in northern Manitoba schools touched many lives and, in return, gave him joy and numerous adventures.
            A family gathering will be held at a later date to celebrate Patrick’s life.
            Patrick was a scientist, an educator, enthusiast of nature and wildlife, passionate and funny and a great raconteur. He enjoyed books, hunting and fishing. He loved his home by the Red and the return of wood ducks in the spring. We’re so glad he was present at the start of another homecoming.
