Patrick Leahy Obituary

Patrick J. Leahy, born 9-26-62, died 11-26-16; beloved and most cherished brother of Mary Jo and Meg; cherished son of Joseph (d.1999) and Patricia (d.2015). Patrick battled leukemia since 1999 and most recently lymphoma. During his illnesses he always felt he would get better and his sisters did also. His most recent bout was too much for him and he died peacefully with his family around him. He will be missed by many who loved his wit, his humility, and his kindness. "And, in the end, the love you take is equal to the love you make". Visitation Tuesday 4 PM until 9 PM at the Skaja Terrace Funeral Home, 7812 N. Milwaukee Ave., Niles IL. Interment Private. Memorials to Leukemia And Lymphoma Society will be appreciated. Funeral info: 847-966-7302 or www.skajafuneralhomes.com

My deepest condolences go to the family of Patrick. He was a brilliant, loving and a most humble man. He never complained or felt victimized by this terrible disease, instead he kept a positive attitude and worked with the deck God handed him. With the strong support and love of his sisters, he tried to beat it, but the body can only take so much. He is reunited with his parents in heaven. His love stays alive in our hearts...he will be missed. God Bless his Soul, may he RIP.
