Born on February 14, 1940 in Uniontown, Pennsylvania to Phyllis. Our brother rode into the sunset to be with Mom on April 4, 2007. Patrick was an avid gardener and a fan of the bull riding circuit. There was not a Stetson hat he did not like. Patrick graduated in 1958 from Clarksburg High School. Patrick was a Viet Nam era veteran in the Air Force, including a tour of duty in England. After a long career with the State of California, Health and Welfare Data Center he retired in March 2000. Patrick is survived by his brother Terry, sisters Judi, Brigid and Elizabeth. Children: Susan, Tracy, and Luke Nairn and Leslie Lawrence. He is also survived by numerous nieces, nephews, cousins and friends. The family would like to extend their heartfelt gratitude to the staff at Regency Place in Sacramento, especially to Nurse Diane Taylor who Patrick held in a special place in his heart.

My deepest condolences to the family. I met and became friends with Patrick at the Freeport Pub & Grill and I used to call him "Tex" because of his fondness for wearing stetsons. I enjoyed chatting with him and have missed seeing him there.
He was a good man and will be missed.

My deepest sympathy goes out to Pat's family and dear friends. I am happy that I could call him friend and proud that I was his friend. I first met Pat at HWDC and we became fast friends that extended to outside work where we played pinochle and teased each other relentiously. He was a fun and sweet guy and I will miss him lots..

All our best to the entire Nairn family during this difficult time.
Pat's big, sometimes smirky, smile he'd extend as we passed in hallways was welcomed for the "human touch" that the days spent on technology often lacked.
Slainte!
My friends are the best friends
Loyal, willing and able.
Now let’s get to drinking!
All glasses off the table!
Here's to a temperance supper,
With water in glasses tall,
And coffee and tea to end with--
And me not there at all!

Sorry for your loss. I have known Pat for over 40 years and he will be missed.
