The memory of your great charisma inspires me. Drank a big glass of milk tonight and thought of you. Thought of the eighties, of our childhood. Loved you so much. Some of the best, most innocent times of my life were spent with you as my friend. We had so much fun sleeping over your house , eating sweet cereal, laughing. So many adventures as we got older, there was no one more exciting to be around than you. Anyone that new you can attest, they broke the mold when they made you. You were not average or normal or ordinary. You were a beautiful rebel. Life was to narrow to contain you. Ill remember you at your best when you used to make me laugh with your great stories, your wonderful smile ,and the way we were at a. d. l. in the early eighties. Happy and innocent.

A picture of him. Very old and blurry, but seems to capture his upbeat personality.

Patrick was the kind of friend who you could call at 4 am because you needed a ride or just someone to talk to.
He drove me to get my lisence when I was 16 in his old red Toyota, and taught me how to drive standard in the months leading up to my test (which was no easy task.) One of the many things that he taught me. He was patient, kind, loving and absolutely hilarious. Patrick could brighten up the darkest of days with his bright outlook and endless great advice, most of which I have, and will continue to carry with me for the rest of my life. There are many times I don't know what I would have done had Patrick not been there to save the day. The type of friend that comes along once in a lifetime. He was a mentor that has played a huge role in the person I am today. He taught me so many things about life, love, patience, And faith. I pray for you Bev and I will never forget his smile or laugh or voice. Anyone who knew Pat couldn't help but love him. A world without him in it seems so dark, but he will live on forever through the lives he has touched. The world has lost a beautiful, precious soul, and I pray he is at peace. God bless all who are grieving the loss of such a great man.

Bev... I am so sorry for your loss. There is something I'd like to add to Pat's obituary: Pat was an avid... and equally adept... hunter and fisherman. As the eldest remaining child of our Dad, I can certainly attest to that. I came to learn over the years that Pat was a independent spirit who, like many of my younger siblings, never accepted the advice (which he may have justifiably perceived to be preaching) from an older brother. But, I certainly admired him for his straight-forward approach to meeting challenges and his unending love for you, which was always returned both 10-fold and in-kind by you. While Pat was not in my life on a daily basis, his picture always hung prominently on my fridge and he will always be remembered with both kind and positive thoughts by myself and my two sons, Nate and Tom.
May GOD's blessings be with you and all whom grieve at Pat's untimely passing.

Rest in Paradise Patrick. Look after the people that adored you. You're going to be greatly missed and prayers to your family. This isn't easy on the girls at all, a bunch of memories and laughter you gave us shared, and tears to follow. Look after the girls, Pat. We miss you.♡
