Filling in the dash between birth and death is something Pat Mahoney didn't take lightly. He lived life to the fullest, accumulating stories and memories resulting in a life well-lived. He spent 45 years owning and operating a custom harvesting crew. Each year he would travel from Texas to Montana harvesting summer crops before returning for fall harvest locally. As a result, Pat knew a multitude of people as business colleagues, employees and friends. Pat concluded his final summer harvest in 2016 when he decided to retire to farming close to home right up to his passing on March 9, 2022, at his home in Genoa, Nebraska.

Patrick L. Mahoney was born to Arnold "Bud" and Iola (Stephens) Mahoney on Oct. 12, 1949. He grew up in rural St. Edward, Nebraska farming, milking cows and working as a farm hand. He graduated from St. Edward High School in 1967 and attended Southeast Community College in Milford where he graduated as a diesel technician 1969. He then started his harvest business in 1971 and farming with his brothers began in 1974.

Pat loved his family, friends, whiskey and farming but not necessarily in that order. He had a sense of humor and was quite the trickster. He had a way for assigning nicknames to those close to him and he himself was known as "unit 200" or "Albert." He was a firm believer that having any vehicle or equipment in reverse resulted in accidents, but it was typically just his own.

Pat is survived by his wife, Cyndi Mahoney; daughter, Sandra "Sam" Mahoney and granddaughters Reghan and Carrah Reis; daughter, Sara (Mike Shriver) Mahoney and grand-daughter Ellie; sister, Linda (Jerry) Werts of Lincoln; brother, Mike (Janet) Mahoney of St. Edward; brother, Rick Mahoney of Columbus; sister, Connie (John) Eddy of Kearney; and many nieces, nephews, cousins and friends.

Pat was preceded in death by his parents; brothers, James Mahoney and Gerald (Eileen) Mahoney; and infant niece, Jordan Eddy.

Memorials may be directed to St. Jude Children's Research Hospital or to those of the family's choice.
