Dear Pat, Marvis, Amy & Hank,
Heaven will never be the same! I just know that Patrick is trying to adjust to Hank Williams, Jr. with Harp background music and searching for the best cloud for a deer stand. We cry and laugh daily about Patrick. He is "our little buddy" and he leaves us with memories that we will treasure for the rest of our lives. Take care and always know that we share your sadness and we are here for you all!!

I am deeply saddened to learn of this terrible tragedy. I spent many days enjoying the company of Patrick at Woodbury Hunting Club. I will miss his wonderful and playful demeanor.My prayers are with you and your family.

Skip and I are truly saddened by Patrick's sudden and tragic death. We cannot imagine the grief of a parent losing a child. He was our hunting friend at Woodbury and always offered a helping hand when needed. We are sorry we could not get to the visitation or service. May you find strength and peace in God's unfailing grace. Dalcho "Skip" and Betts Bailey

My condolences to the family of Patrick. I was Patrick's teacher at Conway Middle for the 6th 7th and 8th grades. I have so many warm memories of Patrick and his "boys" but I especially remember them singing Garth Brooks' "I Got Friends in Low Places" on camera one day. We all laughed so hard we cried watching that video. I know you are all smiling right now as you imagine that scene. All who loved him have plenty of similar scenes to remember. Patrick was an old soul in a young man's body. His kindness, his giving ways and his ability to make everyone feel comfortable and loved will truly be missed. I can truly never remember a time when he wasn't smiling and trying to make me smile. It always worked, too! You all know what I mean... May all who have been touched by Patrick find peace in the remembering...he will be sorely missed by all.

Marvis,Pat & Amy ... There are no words to express how sad we are at the loss of Patrick ! I will always remember his smile and how kind, loving and generous he was . Please take comfort in the fact that so many people ( some you possibly don't even know ) held him in highest regard .The world is indeed a sadder place without him but it is a much better place because he was here . If there is anything at all we can do to help you, we would consider it an honor . Our hearts and our prayers remain with you .

Mr. & Mrs. Henry,
My husband and I lost our son in an automobile accident two years ago. God said he would never put more on us than we can stand, therefore we must be strong and hold to God's unchanging hand. I did not know your son, but I feel your pain. God will take care of you, if you will let Him. Our thoughts and prayers go out to your family and may God send His angels to lift you up during this time of grief.
