Pat worked at Mueller Brass in Port Huron for 43 years. Pat married Mary Esther Hamilton on June 24, 1972. Together they raised four children: Amanda (Darrick) Lund, Matthew (Tara), Katie (Sam) Everly, and Molly. He loved his granddaughters Sophia and Gemma Metheny. Pat is also survived by his sister-in-law, Dorothy (Gary) Stephenson, his step-mother, Loreen, and step-sisters Bonnie, Irene and Jean, and many friends. He persevered and continued to provide for his family despite illness at an early age. He was a keen observer who had much more depth than he portrayed. He was never afraid to speak his mind and was proud of his children and their accomplishments. He will always be remembered for his great stories, numerous trips to the grocery store, playing the lottery, his famous bib overalls and love of grilling. The family will receive friends on Saturday, July 7 from 2:00 p.m. until 8:00 p.m. with a Scripture Service at 7:00 p.m. at Young Funeral Home, China Twp. http://www.youngcolonial.com/ In lieu of flowers, memorials may be made to the March of Dimes or the Blue Water Area Humane Society.
