We are so sorry for your loss. My son Ben rode the bus with Patrick while attending governor school and remembers what a great guy he was. I taught Robben and remember all of the wonderful things he said about his brother. You are in our prayers,

Our thoughts and prayers are with you at this difficult time. We knew Patrick as a friend to our daughter, Casey. He was an extraordinary young man who was a very gifted musician. He would come over and school Casey on the cello out of the goodness of his heart. He will be dearly missed. May God bless you with a healing heart.
