Patrick Bulger Obituary

Patrick Bulger, 53, died suddenly on September 7, 2021. Patrick grew up in Schenectady, NY and was a graduate of Notre Dame-Bishop Gibbons High School. He worked several years as a truck driver for Bruegger's Bagels and later went into the freight industry at New England Motor Freight. He finished his career at FedEx Freight where he worked for the past 12 years. Patrick excelled at his job and was a valuable employee who was highly regarded. Patrick was a charming, quick witted man with a fun loving spirit. With a twinkle in his eye, he brought laughter into almost any situation. He expressed his love for his family openly and greeted all with a friendly smile. He was known to strum familiar tunes on his guitar and playfully invent new lyrics to songs. Patrick was a gifted photographer, an airplane and motorcycle enthusiast, and a great lover of the outdoors who eagerly shared his interests with others. He was a skilled, knowledgeable hiker who enjoyed countless adventures with his wife, Kristen. Patrick was also a man of faith who had committed to the process of recovery. Patrick is survived by his wife, Kristen Bulger, and his four children, Casey Ellis (Chelsea), Sierra Bulger, Lauren Bulger, and John Patrick Bulger. He is also survived by his siblings Amy Janack, Dan Bulger, Steve Bulger (Caterina Facchinetti) and his "twin" Marcy Bulger. In addition, Patrick is survived by many other family members and friends. He was dearly loved and will be greatly missed. A celebration of life will be held at Sun Valley Community Church, 456 E Ray Rd, Gilbert, AZ on Wednesday, September 22, 2021 at 12:00 pm. In remembrance of Patrick, please make donations to the Celebrate Recovery ministry at Sun Valley Community Church, to support positive life change.
