Ernest Patterson Obituary

Ernest Owen Patterson "Bob" January 8, 1932 - November 2, 2010 Bob was born in Merkel, Texas. He is survived by sisters, Dean Durham, Abilene TX and Dorothy Ratliff, Wiggins MS; brothers, Carol and wife Catsie Patterson, San Diego CA, Melvin and wife Darlene Patterson, Bakersfield CA; nephews, Steve and wife Nora Sheppard, Bakersfield CA, Shaun and Melissa Patterson, Bakersfield CA, Wes Ratliff, Wiggins MS, Randy and wife Pam Carson, Abilene TX; and very special friends, Tim and Barbra Lucas, James and Patti Barrett, Travis and Lacey Pursley, Raymond and Dara Chanley, Gary, Bill and Debbie Chanley, Bill Todd and Glen Tucker. Bobs friends were like family to him and there are too many to list here. He loved working with his horses and dogs and they loved him. Bob was always willing to share his "cowboy knowledge" with you, even if you didn't ask for it. He cowboyed for several large ranches in California, Texas and New Mexico. He will be missed by all. No services will be held. www.bakersfield.com/obits

Bob was one of my favorite cousins. When he and his family lived in the White Church Community (Texas), prior to moving to California, my brother Doyle and I spent a lot of time fun time with Bob...riding horses, chasing armadillos, going into "forbidden" watermelon patches, climbing Chalk Peak etc. His death is just another reminder that the beginning and the end are pretty close together. Thinking of the family members. T. C. & Mary Frances Melton
