Patrick J. "Packin' Pat" Lane

Concord , NH -

Patrick Joseph Lane of Concord NH passed away suddenly in his home on April 8th. He was born in Seattle Washington October 8,1959. The son of Leo T. Lane and Blanche (Renshaw) Lane, the third of six children. His family relocated to Concord in 1972 where he spent the remainder of his life. At fifteen Pat packed his bags and hitchhiked home to Washington. It was a testament to the determination he showed throughout his lifetime. A defining time in his life filled with treasured memories. He had an adventurous soul and enjoyed life on the road. Pat began working as a teenager and prided himself in the value of a hard days work. Through years of patience and determination he became the best plumber anyone knew. Most notably he was employed at Phillip's Plumbing and Heating for many years.

Pat was one of a kind, an all around great guy! Those that knew and loved him knew he was the most kind, caring, generous and helpful person anyone could ask for. Always jumping to help those in need out of a jam, whether they were family, friend or neighbor. He was a man of great passion, especially when politics and world affairs were on the table and for Pat, anytime was a good time for that talk. He was a social butterfly. The guy who always complained before an engagement but showed up early and always stayed late. He loved meeting people and a good conversation. During his lifetime he always kept in touch with family and friends, regularly reaching out with phone calls or a visit. Not a week went by without someone in the family saying " I just saw so and so and they said they saw Patrick the other day".

Pat found joy in the simple things in life including playing ball with his Boston Terrier Bella, cooking, music, feeding the birds, watering the flowers, mowing the lawn and chatting with neighbors as their dogs played. He was known as the family historian. He loved researching and discovering "where he came from." He was proud of his heritage and would jump at the chance to tell his family what he knew of ancestors that passed long before their birth.

Words cannot express the loss felt by those who loved him. His laughter, jokes, kindness and presence will be forever missed. There is no doubt that Pat entered the pearly gates hoping we would make America great again. Whether you agreed with his views or not he never left anyone questioning where he stood. He was as forward and honest as they come and always up for a good debate. He was a faithful man with a heart of gold. Pat passed with the belief that he would be reunited with his parents and with all those he loved.

Patrick was predeceased by his parents and is survived by the love of his life Faye Allquist and her parents Fraser Sr. and Peggy of Concord NH, his five siblings, Kevin Lane of Sharon VT, Benjamin Lane of Loudon NH, Andrew Lane and his wife Lisa of Concord NH, Cassandra Denoncourt and her husband Peter of Concord NH, Joseph Lane and his wife Megan of Chichester NH, 9 nieces and nephews, his " Uncle" Wilson of Sangerville ME, along with countless dear friends and the greatest joy in his world, his "precious baby girl" Bella.

An open house "potluck" celebration of Patrick's life will be held on Saturday May 25th in Bow NH 1PM-4PM . Contact the family for details.
