…

Fred was deeply passionate about sports throughout his youth. A heart of gold, an exceptionally kind and compassionate man, he was always ready to lend a helping hand to those who needed it. His quick wit, warm spirit and contagious laugh will be remembered by all who had the privilege of knowing him.

C’est avec une profonde tristesse que nous annonçons
le décès de Frédérick Odegard-Patenaude, survenu le 12 mai 2026,
à l’Hôpital Barrie Memorial de Ormstown, à l’âge de 25 ans.

Fred était passionné par le sport tout au long de sa jeunesse. C’était un homme avec un cœur en or, exceptionnellement gentil et compatissant, toujours prêt à donner un coup de main à ceux qui en avaient besoin.

Son esprit vif, sa chaleur humaine et son rire contagieux resteront gravés dans la mémoire de tous ceux qui ont eu le privilège de le connaître.

Son départ laisse un grand vide
parmi tous ceux qui l’ont aimé.

à la Résidence funéraire McGerrigle le 6 juin 2026, de 13 heures à 17 heures,

    When we were in cegep I asked him and his roommates if I could live with them once my mom gets her surgery done. Before I finished that sentence Fred had already brought out a spare mattress for me.
    He was the kind of guy that was in your corner without even having to ask. A genuine soul gone too soon.

    I have don’t even have words to describe my feelings. Fred and I haven’t seen each other in about 13 years. Although regardless, we were important part of each other’s lives. As a Early Childhood Educator, I often hear that children don’t remember the first 6 years of their lives. In sense of what went on. But they remember people. Fred was always one of those children that proof that. Even though he was just start kindergarten when I moved to Ontario for school. Fred always knew who I was and he remember memories and moments we shared together. Of course being that I was so much in his life that he wasn’t just a child I took care of. He was a family member and always will be. I have some special memories of him but I favourite is almost 15 years ago. He was 10 years old, I was going to get married. I asked Fred to stand up for me. He told me « I can’t I am a boy. » Then asked my husband Mike if he could be on his side. Two of us agreed to that. He was a great groomsmen. The night before our wedding at our rehearsal dinner, knowing that he was a hotdog, mac and chesses and chicken nugget kid. I pulled him aside, I said, « I don’t care if you like the food that comes in front of you. You will eat it anyways. You’re at the head table everyone can see. Do you understand? » He nod and told me understood. The next day, we were at the wedding. Sure enough everything that came in front of him was not food he liked. However, Fred ate every single bite of that food. Clearly his plate for every course. Then came up to me later and proceed to tell me who at the head table left what on their plate for each course. How I should’ve told everyone including myself what I told him. We laughed, I loved his laugh and his smile. He’s going to be missed for sure. I am glad I have the memories I do with him and hearing from his family that even though I wasn’t there in Ormstown from the time he was 6 onwards. He talked about his time with me and was always happy to see me when I did visit. Miss you so much kiddo, you left us too son.

    You will be missed Fred, my condolences go out to the family and friends. I am grateful to have known Fred and to have been able to call him a great friend. He was incredibly kind, his laugh was contagious to be around and I had great memories playing hockey with him, sharing the passion for the sport and arguing about who had better taste in music. I will always think back and remember my time in high school with him, you couldn’t ask for a better friend, he would always raise your spirits if you were feeling down. I’m lucky that I had gotten the chance to know him, he had a heart of gold. Rest in peace Fred you will always be remembered.

    Dear Sondra, Yves, Bailey, Raina and little Freya. Terrible news. Fred was one of the gentlest and kindest students, always happy go lucky. I remember his first day of kindergarten at OES, little Fred climbed the monkey bars and went from one end to the other. He was a strong kid and so likeable. Our sympathies on this shocking loss of a dear son, brother and uncle. We are saddened. I recognize that picture of Fred at cross country running. It was at Sport Etudiant Regionals on the South Shore.

    I had the pleasure of going to high school with Fred. We connected our last year of high school and he helped me feel so much less alone. I lost touch over the years but I’ve never forgotten the beautiful soul he was. He is terribly missed in my heart as I remember the fond memories and deep conversations we shared. I love you bro and I wish I would have stayed around.
