Patrick Bourque
September 27, 1977 – September 25, 2007

Patrick Bourque was best known as the one-time bassist for Canadian country band, Emerson Drive.  Finding moderate success as 12 Guage in and around Alberta, the band soon changed its name to Emerson Drive and moved to Nashville where they landed a deal with DreamWorks.  The band released a series of country hits and added Bourque to the band in 2002.  Within a couple of years they were opening for the likes of Shania Twain.  But in August of 2007, Bourque left the band for an undisclosed reason.  Just one month later, he was found dead in his Montreal home.  Initial reports indicated that he committed suicide.
