Robert Patrick
September 16, 1945 - October 23, 2021
Bradenton, Florida - Robert Patrick, 76, of Bradenton, Florida, went home to be with the Lord on October 23, 2021. He died peacefully at home after a short illness. He was born on September 16, 1945 in Vidalia, Georgia and relocated to Bradenton as a child where he attended Southeast High School. He was a masonry contractor for over 50 years and spent time volunteering for Habitat for Humanity, which he very much enjoyed.
He is survived by Sandra, his wife of 54 years; son, Randy (Christina); daughter, Kim Raburn (Jason); granddaughters; Amber Quiroz (Armando), Kayla Guerra (Rob) and grandson, Brandon Patrick; six great-grandchildren; brothers; Virgil Patrick (Connie) and Jack Patrick, both of Lyons, GA. He was preceded in death by sister, Edna Morris of Vidalia, GA..
He was an amazing husband, father, grandfather, great-grandfather and friend. Nothing was more important to him than the love he felt for his family. In his mind, his great-grandchildren could do no wrong but in the minds of others, many of whom considered him a "dad", "uncle", "brother" or lifelong friend, he could do no wrong. He was an incredibly loving and caring man that had a passion for his work, classic cars, the Tennessee mountains, and spending time with his many friends. He was very much loved and respected by everyone that knew him and he rarely met a stranger. He will be greatly missed.
Memorial will be held on Monday, November 15, 2021 at Bayside Community Church, 15800 SR64 East Bradenton, FL. 34212. Visitation 2-3 p.m. with service to follow. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to St. Jude Children's Research Hospital, www.stjude.org

Sometimes when you meet someone you instantly know you will become good friends . That is Robert and Sandy . When I first met them we hit it right off . Lots of things in common that lead to great conversations and fun times . And the card games , well, those were the best . I learned so much from this loving couple . In the short time I was around them , both in Florida and their Tennessee mountain home , it was just a good time .
I will certainly miss those times . Robert will always be my friend . And, we will see him again one day.

Prayers to Sandy and the Family

Words can't explain the sadness I feel for the loss of such a great friend. I met Robert when I was 18 years old. He would become a great influence and hold one of the greatest impacts in my and my future family's life. He was always there as a friend, father figure, family member, and for constructive criticism when I really needed it. The knowledge shared and life lessons I learned from Robert are truly cherished and will be forever. Rest in peace brother.

Robert was such a kind and gentle man. From the first time we met Robert and Sandy as our condo neighbors, we were instantly friends. We had fun the times we´d make our cinnamon roll runs, going out to eat, or just visiting. Robert was one of the sweetest men I know and always had that smile. We will miss him so.

Well i have so much to say
I became friends with Rando at around 14 when we played on the same little league football team.
And we lived close to each other over by 5th st when the boys were playin football on a sunday and i skipped out of church to go play well when i got home everything i owned(not much at 14) was in the street and my mother told me to get out and dont come back.
So i grabbed wat i could and headed to the woods over by pops house where i stayed for a day or so when Mr Robert caught wind and came over and scooped me up like there was no doubt that he was my dad and like i have seen him do so many times he just toke charge and made room in his home for me without a word to be said.
He taught me how to be a kid and let me be a kid and him and his angel of a wife let me live there for as long as i needed
They loved me like i was there own and i am forever grateful
He taught me how to live and work and respect and just everything that a broken kid needed they loved me and hugged me and enjoyed me being there i never lnew how being loved felt till that family of the Patricks came into my life.
And i have to give Rando And Kimmy so much love and respect cuz they accepted me as i was there family member and never questioned why i was there or when i was going to leave.
In the many years that the angels that went by the name of Patrick's accepted me ad there own i saw many others like me that needed something and they knew that Mr.Robert would not say no to any request for help so he just did what he did and gave and gave and after he gave everything that anyone needed he would give more.
I cannot imagine where i would be now if it wasnt for the Patrick family.
Theres not enough words that i can say about Mr.Robert or what many called him dad and Ms.Sandy or mom as many called her they are true saints in my eyes. I am sure theres many people out there that would say the same thing.
He will be truly missed by me and many others.May he rest in peace

"Bobby" was a big brother to me. He was generous with his time and possessions. He was funny....we laughed a lot. He was a loving husband, father, grandfather, great grandfather, brother and friend who will be missed beyond words. I´m so thankful for all the memories throughout the many years. My heart aches for all of us who are mourning the loss of this great guy who meant so much to so many.
