Stephen Patten

I was one of Steve´s roommates at VMI during our Rat and third class years. We had many escapades together, good and bad. We were almost always together at the Mother I. Sadly we lost touch after the third year. I truly wish we had kept in better touch. I last saw him in the early `80s on a road trip to his house with some friends. That was our last good time together. I was always sure he would visit me back one day out of nowhere. He was a great friend and I have always missed him. Rest In...

He will be sorely missed and died far too soon.

I knew Steve while we were at VMI- he was a great guy, fun to be around and shared many memories with him; he will be greatly missed.

Steve was a friend while at VMI. We roomed together at summer school after our rat year. Will always have fond memories of those times. Condolences to Steve´s family. Rest In Peace Brother Rat. Robert C. Kerecz COL(Ret), USA VMI Class if 1983.

Gone, but never forgotten! Life is too short, and you owned it. You will be missed!
