1971 - 2017 (Age 45)
Patrick Charles Doom was born November 1, 1971, to Charles and Ingrid (Hage) Doom in Pipestone, MN. Patrick lived in Currie, MN through his elementary years when his family then moved to Winner, SD where he attended and graduated from Winner High School. He attended Southwest State University in Marshall, MN.
Patrick was united in marriage to Leah Dykstra on October 4, 1997 in Sioux Falls, SD where they lived until the time of his death. Their marriage was blessed with the birth of two children, Kyle Austin and Karly Elizabeth.
Patrick worked at Wells Fargo EFS for over fourteen years where he developed many lifelong friendships. His sense of humor, contagious smile, and positive work attitude were an inspiration to many.
Patrick’s life was forever changed in March 2015 with the diagnosis of cancer. His motto was that he would fight until the doctors told him there was nothing else they could do and he did just that. Patrick’s Caring Bridge became an outlet for him to express his faith and allowed him to demonstrate his gift of writing in being an inspiration to all who read it.
Patrick Doom, 45, was received into the arms of his Heavenly Father on Wednesday, March 8, 2017 at his home in Sioux Falls, surrounded by family.
Patrick will be deeply missed by his wife, Leah, and children, Kyle and Karly; his parents, Charles & Ingrid Doom, Brandon, SD; brother, Christopher (Angel) Doom, Leah’s parents, Janie & Jeff Vande Griend, Sibley, IA and Doug & Carol Dykstra, West Des Moines, IA; Leah’s siblings, Amber (Curt) Bosma, Derek (Allison) Vande Griend, Erin (Brendan) Olson, Chelsie Ballard, & Nate (Sarah Greshowak) Dykstra, Dylan (Megan) Dykstra, and Ethan (Morgan) Dykstra; Leah’s grandparents, Joyce Dykstra, Sibley, IA and Clarice Vande Griend, Sioux Center, IA. Patrick will be missed by his many nieces and nephews; Trey, Christian, Kinley, Dominic, Aspen & Kennedy Doom; Olivia & Alex Bosma; Ethan & Luke Vande Griend; Hailey, Brady, & Colby Olson; Camyron, Morgan, & Jacolyn Ballard.

Leah I just happen to notice that I did not sign our names when I wrote to you. The one where it was about 6 years ago is from Roger and Lois Lamfers. You visited us many times with Rodney. Again we are thinking and praying for you and your family at this time

Dear Leah,
It is our turn to lift you and your family up in prayer. Was almost 6 years ago that you came many times to the hospital for us and now we are praying and thinking of you and the children. We are glad that we got to know you somewhat and were very thankful for you. You have our deepest sympathy at this time. May you and the children feel God's loving arms wrapped around you.

Dear Leah and Family,
You and your family are in my thoughts and prayers. I was fortunate to have met Patrick through work at Wells Fargo. He was always such a nice guy and always had a smile on his face. I am so sorry for your loss.
