I cannot express the sadness I feel right now, Pat was one of the most important people in WWE and the first openly gay wrestler of his generation, he is an inspiration to many. R.I.P. Godspeed Pat.

As a gay man, I thank you for coming out so publicly. I was severely depressed and struggling. When you came out, I stopped blaming myself and gradually learned to accept myself. I can never thank you enough or express how much it meant to me. God bless you and your family, you've truly made a difference.

Dear Patterson Family Rory and I sincerely express our condolences's on the loss of Pat Patterson./he'll surely be missed very much.may he rest in peace.best faith/rory

Pat Patterson was a wrestling star who helped built World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) and was a mentor to Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson.

I have been watching you for years and I did not know how funny you were.

My condolences to his friends and his family he was openly gay and gave us the encouragement for our community for the rights that we needed is an extraordinary individual who's a role model for the next generation of all rainbow community and a good Community leader may he rest in peace

I grew up in the 70’s watching you on Big Time Wrestling with my brother and sister. You and Ray Stevens were the best tag team during that era. And probably the most feared. But it didn’t matter who you teamed with, you were my hero and when you got “hurt” I kept yelling at the TV “GO PAT GO!!!! GO PAT GO!!!” Thank you for all the years of great memories from Big Time Wrestling to your final days with WWE. RIP Pat.

As a young boy growing up in San Jose, we used to go watch Pat and Roller Derby at the San Jose Civic Auditorium in the mid to late 60's. What a show for us, up close and personal as the room only held a small amount of fans. Thanks for the excitement for that young boy...Rest in Peace

A legend in the world of wrestling, he will be missed and remembered by many. Sincere condolences to the Patterson family and friends, may God be with all of you as you go through this very difficult time of your loss.

Pat, Thanks for trusting me. Thank you for letting me take care of you. I did not meet you as a celebrity; I met you as a human being, a man with a great sense of humor who showed kindness to everyone and made me mad when you laughed about my Spanglish accent. You were a wonderful friend and a fantastic singer. Thank you, Pat, for every moment that we shared. Rest in peace.
Gracias Pat. Descansa en Paz

Pat, you and Ray Stevens were my heroes. You were an artist in the ring, an artist on the mic, and I wish I had known you. I will always remember your run in the San Francisco territory. I got to shake your hand in Santa Rosa after your match. No one, but absolutely no one, could work a crowd like you did. Everything you did was so believable. And I truly admire the fact that you could be openly gay in the time and era you did, and in the profession you were in. Bless you, Pat. I will always remember you fondly.

You will be truly missed Mr. Pat Patterson and never forgotten. You are among so many of the greats who now have heaven as your own ring.
