Not sure what to say?

I deeply miss Patrick and his inspiring spirit.

You are missed dear friend.

Hi

You are deeply missed on this side of existence.

Has been a year since you passed, Can ride in your memory today, but I will soon. Miss you a lot, just wanted to say hello...

Patrick, I only got the chance to know you for a little bit, but I'm still saddened by your loss. I am grateful for the short time that we got to be friends, and I certainly hope you are at peace now. Based on what your family and close friends say, I can tell that you were a wonderful and amazing person, and I feel so fortunate that I had the chance to know you, even for just a little bit. To your family and loved ones, I express my deepest sympathies, and I am sorry for your loss as well.

I played with Pat in Severed Ties. One of the coolest people you ever met, made a lasting impression on me and his guitar playing was so real. RIP Pat.

I met pla through our mutual interest in computers, Linux, and photography. He used a song I produced as background music for a video he created:

I thought it was the coolest thing that he wanted to use my music for a tech video demonstrating how many friends he had all over the globe. I still do, and he still does.

I met Pla on Mastodon where he used to post very nice pictures of his cycling rides. I might have chatted with him only few times but they were enough to transmit his energy and love of life.
I will miss his kindness and pictures of his adventures on 2 wheels.
My condolences to Patrick's family and friends.
Ride on, PLA.
