Patrick L. Chamberlain

Dearest Colleen, Chet & Your Beautiful Family,

As I was looking to reconnect just now, I learned of the great & untimely loss of your dear son, Patrick.

I can't imagine in all this world how painful his loss must be. You have always amazed me by your acts of courage & strength whenever you & your family have gone through hard times.

It seems unthinkable to experience the one thing parents fear most - the ultimate hardship & sorrow a family could ever experience. As...

Chamberlains,
Although I had not spent time with pat in several years it was always a nice treat getting a chance to see him in passing in Madison after graduating high school.
My heart goes out to you and your extended family. I will always remember pat and his uncanny ability to cheer up others; diffusing any sort of awkward situation with a witty joke and a smile that would light up the whole room.
I can only hope that you can find comfort in knowing although his life was...

Pat,

I'll never forget the incredible memories we made and shared. We became so close after traveling abroad. Those experiences have shaped my life to this very day. From sneaking into forbidden areas of medieval castles, to our adventure at the Palace Versailles...the list goes on!

Dear Chamberlain Family :

We are deeply saddened by your loss. Gina knew Pat growing up and they would always compete in Math class at Lake Bluff. They would also see each other on campus at UW. Krissy was in Pat's younger brother's grade and it was always great to see him! We are all keeping you in our prayers during this time. Pat was a wonderful young man and he will be greatly missed.

When they were all still elementary school age I was waiting across the street from your house and saw a memorable funny scene. Patrick and Clare were on the walk by the front door each doing their own thing. Suddenly, he put her in a "headlock", gave her a noogie, let her go and went back to what he was doing. She ran inside to tell on him. It was perfectly played sibling childhood scene.

Pat was generous, smart, funny, and kind. The lab misses him dearly.
