Patrick is a rare soul who always approached you with true love in his heart. We just learned it is comfort knowing that even though we'll miss him Heaven truly rejoices because he patterned his life after the creator. No one was beyond his reach and his love will still resonate in our hearts. Soar with the Angels my Brother Heaven is even more beautiful because you are there.
I love you,
Sharon

I cannot believe you are not with us any longer. I remember vividly when you worked at Fonville MS, and you attended my meetings. You were so good with the children, and they really loved you. I shall never forget your wit, your smile, your continual kindness, your gentleman-like demeanor, and your gentle heart. You will be greatly missed; RIP friend.

I am saddened to hear of Patrick's passing. I was his mentor teacher at FHS where we taught special education together. Patrick became a personal friend to myself and to my entire family and we loved him very much. He was such a kind and giving young man, generous of spirit and heart. We spent many hours working together and sharing life stories and memories. I will miss him dearly. We are praying for him and for the entire family.
