On October 20, 2015, Warrant Officer Patrice Vincent was recognized and honoured (posthumously) with a Hal Rogers Fellow award, sponsored by The Kin Canada Foundation 49th Parallel North Fund. A 28 year veteran of the military, who served with distinction across the country, WO Patrice Vincent died as a result of injuries sustained when an ISIL-inspired terrorist purposely rammed his vehicle into Vincent and another soldier in Saint-Jean-sur-Richelieu, Quebec on October 20, 2014.
At a memorial service held in his honour, Vincent was remembered as a happy, smiling person who was always ready to help and didn’t ask nothing in return.
A portrait of WO Patrice Vincent was commissioned and painted by Portraits of Honour artist and Hal Rogers Fellow Dave Sopha. The portrait was presented to his family during the ceremony.
