July 30, 1955 – August 24, 2011.
Patrick John Melvin Causgrove-Carter passed away on August 24, 2011 in Victoria, BC. Patrick was born July 30, 1955 in Windsor, Ontario. Patrick is survived by his wife of 19 years, Diana Carney; his children Christopher Carter, Lexi Carter and her fiance Brent Herron.
Patrick is the beloved son of Julie Frances Causgrove Carter and her beloved husband Reginald (Deceased 1994). Beloved brother of Lynne and Bill Bolton (Both deceased 1994), Reginald and Sandy Carter (Sandy deceased 2011) of Lansing, Michigan, Gary and Corry Carter of Georgetown, Robert and Maureen Carter of La Salle, Timothy and Eva Carter of Markham, Mary Elizabeth Carter (Deceased 1994) and her husband Michael McNamara of Windsor, and Julie Ann Ellis Carter and her husband Paul Ellis of Windsor.
Born and raised in Windsor, Ontario, he attended Massey High School. He met and married Janice Ouelette Carter (Deceased 2010) and had their two beautiful children Christopher and Lexi. They lived in Windsor, London, and Toronto.
In 1990, Patrick went to Houston, Texas for a two week vacation and met Diana. Their first date was August 24, 1990. They married July 1992. After living in Houston, Texas for 18 years, Pat returned to Canada and was experiencing significant personal and professional success when fate cut short his efforts.
Anyone who knew Patrick knew he loved to have fun and was the life of the party. His main passions were working, baseball, golf, and the Rolling Stones.
Patrick loved to include anybody in his life and encouraged them to join in in sharing his passions. His goal every day was to help someone even in the smallest way whether it was a smile and a hello to a total stranger to helping someone with a project. He had a special knack for turning the negative into a positive and he approached all situations with this attitude.
He will be greatly missed by friends and family. Private services will be held in Windsor, Ontario.

I am so sorry for your loss of our team player Patrick, it was a Friday night and I spoke with Pat his last words were “good job slick, see you on Monday.” He will forever be missed and it will take lots of time for all of us to come to terms with our great loss… He was not only a great asset to BMS/Action/M6 but a good friend and comrad. Keep on keeping on… I’ll be waiting for Monday to come again. We miss you Patrick…

Diana,
It was a shock, and a great loss for all when we heard of Pat’s passing. I had the pleasure of knowing Pat for the time he was with Action \ BMS and he definately made his mark. It was very nice to meet his daughter Lexi at the service in Victoria. I never had the opportunity to meet his son. I spent allot of time with Pat since he had started with us, and feel blessed to have been able to know him. My condolences go out to his family and extended family.
Pat was far too young to leave us, but these are not choices we have a hand in. Pat fit so well in our company, and gave so much of himself. I guess there are just no words. Always remember that we are family now too, that is just how this company seems to work, and likely why Pat fit so well with us.
It’s very hard to lose such a great man at such a young age. Patrick was one of the nicest, most laid back, happy-go-lucky guys I know. He was always happy on life and loved everything he did. I’m going to miss seeing his smiling face and miss his love and passion for baseball, golf, and most especially Diana. Patrick, I’ll miss you my friend!
Dear Carney,
I know how very treasured your precious Patrick was. I know you will love him always. Be comforted, my friend. You will see him again. Be blessed, and know you carry him with you in your heart everywhere you go. You will never be alone.
Truly,
