PACHAKE, Helton
1934 - 2020
It is with great sadness that we inform you of the passing of our beloved father Helton Pachake, on December 3rd 2020, at the age of 86. He will be lovingly remembered by his wife, Dalal, his children, Xavier and Marla (Yanick), and his grandchildren, Chloé and Théo, for whom his face lit up the most with love and pride.
He will also be fondly remembered by his sister, Hilda, his brother-in-law, Raja, their children Ferdinand and Bernadette, his (late) sister Janette’s children John, Abraham and Valerie, as well as by other dear friends and relatives all over the world.
Helton was born in Rangoon, Burma, where he spent his early childhood. When he was a young boy, WWII compelled his parents to return to their hometown, Trivandrum, India. After graduating from college, he left for the city of Port Sudan, Sudan, Africa, where he lived for 10 years, working as a teacher. Following that, he stayed for 2 years in London, England, before his journey finally brought him to Montreal, in 1967, where he settled and started his family. He earned a Masters degree in mathematics at Concordia University and went on to achieve an incredible 50-year carrier as a dedicated high school math teacher for the ESMB (English Montreal School Board).
An unparalleled globetrotter, Helton travelled any chance he got and made his family discover many countries. Loving, caring and generous in nature, he remarkably kept in touch with countless loved ones in all four corners of the world. A devout Catholic, he instilled his unprecedented faith to his family and shared it with the community of Notre-Dame-de-Grace (NDG) as an usher at Saint-Monica’s Parish for over 40 years. His passions also included, soccer, tutoring and playing bridge.
Due to the curent circumstances, the funeral will be held privately in the chapel of the funeral home.
The celebration of his life will be shared for viewing, live, online, Saturday, December 19th, at 4pm (link posted below). It will also be available online for 90 days, following the live broadcast.

My sincerest condolences to the family and friends of Mr. Pachake. I had the privilege of being one of his students between 1980 and 1984 when I graduated from Marymount high school. I especially remember math class in grade 9, 1981/1982. He indulged us with our silly teenager antics and conversation and always showed that he cared about our education. He was one of our favourite and most beloved teachers and his students will always remember him. Rest In Peace

II graduated in 170 from Marymount, where Mr. Pachake taught Math and was much loved by many students. My thoughts and prayers are with your family during this difficult time. Blanca Rosa Cervi
To the Pachake family
Dear Pachake family, I was a student at MMHS and fondly remember Mr. Pachake. He was a true gentleman and wonderful teacher. Please accept my deepest sympathies.
The Pachake family
I'm sad to hear about his passing. I was a student of his between 1990-95. I wasn't a great student but I definitely can say I learned from him. He would call me a sneaky salamander because teachers couldn't call us little shits. He is definitely 1 of the few teachers I remember from Marymount Academy.
May your legacy live on through your family, friends and everyone you have ever met.
RIP Mr. Pachake
