I had the pleasure of getting to know Pat through our work at the INL as well. He always performed at the top of our class in shooting, physical fitness and all other areas. He had a heart to match. He was very easy to talk to and we had a enjoyed talking to each other about our experiences serving our country overseas. He was a true American patriot! He always talked about his love of country and family. A great young man that will be missed! Rest in peace brother! Our prayers go out to his family and friends.

Our family knew Patrick when he attended school with our son Patrick (Taylor) and they played football together.
Such mixed feelings - what an impressive adult he grew into, and so sad at your family's loss.
