Pastor Patrick Demerath

Patrick's life was a blessing of joy, love and enthusiasm. We thank God for his presence in our lives. He has made a meaningful difference to so many.

We are so very sorry for your loss. Pastor Patrick married us a year ago and it was one of the best days of our lives and he will forever be part of that wonderful day!!! He will be missed.
