To Patrick's Family:
I too am sharing your pain. Your son was an incredible person, who loved life and everything in it. I didn't really know him that well, but what little I did, I was glad to. *RIP Patrick McKinley* You will never be forgotten. May God watch over you and your family.

MS JEANETTE,
WE RECEIVED A CALL ABOUT PATRICK, WE ARE SO SORRY TO HEAR ABOUT THE LOSS, HE WAS A GREAT KID. PLEASE KEEP FAITH IN GOD HE WILL HELP YOU AND YOUR FAMILY AT THIS TIME AND ALWAYS,

Patrick was a guy that always had a smile on his face. Everytime you saw him in the hallways at school he had that handsome smile brightly displayed on his face. That smile and his awesome personality will be what I remember him by. I know that he is still here with us, in our hearts. I love you Patrick and will always remember you!
Faith

I rode the bus with Patrick in both his 9th grade year at DHS and 10th grade year at Woodside. I didn't know him as well as some other people, but he was radiant... always smiling, and when he wasn't, we knew he was about to. Although we don't have him with us in the physical sense, his spirit will always be with us. Remember those eyes, and his smile... the joy that he shared with everyone he came into contact with... Patrick, you will never be forgotten.

To Patrick's family - I share your deep sense of loss and grief. A terrific young man has been taken from us far too soon.
To Patrick - It's said that teachers can - and sometimes do - touch the lives of our students. But every so often a very special student comes along who touches our life. You did that and I will forever be grateful. I shall always remember you.

He only Takes The Best
A heart of gold stopped beating
Two shining eyes at rest;
God broke our heart to prove to us
He only takes the best.
A million times we will need you
A million times we will cry.
If love could have saved you
You never would have died,
It broke our heart to lose you
But you didn't go alone,
For part of us went with you.
The day God took you home.
You were a beautiful, talented...

Patrick was a great guy and i enjoyed being able to know him we worked together and went to school together. I know he is in a better place but i don't think he was ready to leave. May he rest in peace.

To the family of Patrick McKinley:
Although we did not know Patrick, we have learned that he was a young man of great promise and would have become a fine adult with talents and qualities our society needs. His loss impacts the entire community. Our sincere sympathy to his family and loved ones.

Patrick and I were in many classes together throughout high school. We sat next to each other, helped each other when we were feeling down there was never a time when we didnt have fun. Without him I would never have passed spanish, let alone stayed awake. He was a great friend to have and can never be replaced. Patrick was one of my biggest admirers and i will never forget him
