Patrick Ross Corn was born January 20, 1953 to Ross C. Corn and Virginia Ocamica Corn at Caldwell Memorial Hospital in Caldwell, ID. He passed away following a brief illness at Sacred Heart Medical Center Spokane, WA May 13, 2025.
Patrick attended elementary schools in Marsing, ID and Ontario, OR. He graduated from Adrian High School in 1971. He went on to graduate from Gonzaga University and later completed a Master's Degree in Education at Eastern Oregon University.
Following graduation from Gonzaga, Pat was the junior member of Corn and Corn Construction for many years. He taught Construction Trades at SRCI Ontario and later taught in the Ontario School District. He loved working in the Adrian Elementary School library, and finally driving bus there.
Pat loved children, the outdoors, author Mark Twain, classic literature, family, friends, and pets. He was keenly interested in politics and was deeply and sincerely committed to his faith. He was an active member of St. Bridget's Catholic Church.
Patrick had a hilarious sense of humor and a knack for turning ordinary activities into an escapade.
Patrick was preceded in death by his parents, Ross and Virginia Corn. He is survived by his sister, Teresa Ballard (Ross) and their children, Marie Ballard, Ross Ballard, and Richard Ballard; along with his great nieces and nephews, Lucia, Ross, Elise, Emma, and Gavin; as well as his pet cat, Jim.
The Family would also like to thank his friends and coffee mates for their daily friendship.
Funeral Services for Patrick will be held May 30, 2025 at St. Patrick's Catholic Church in Vale, OR at 10 a.m. All are invited to attend and to bring a funny story anecdote to share.
