Today I heard about Pat and that made me so sad. I hadn't seen him in many years. What I will remember about him though is his smile and his laugh. Such a fun guy! I am sorry he left this Earth at such a young age. My deepest condolences to all.

I didn't know Patrick personally, but I sure knew a lot about him. My neighbor is Chad Derus and I know he and Patrick were best friends for a very long time. Chad and I have talked about Pat many, many times. Chad always had a big smile on his face everytime he talked about Pat. I feel like I knew him. I am so sorry he lost his battle, but what a fighter he was. I would have been proud to have known him. My deepest sympathies are with all of you.

Pat, I'm truly lucky to have gotten to know you through one of your best friends(my brother Brad). You always made me feel welcome, like a part of the gang. I always had a great time whenever I had the privilege of hanging out with you. I always considered you as one of my friends. I can't put into words how I felt when I heard you had gone. But you fought a good, courageous battle. You are one of the good ones that God put here to make this world a fun place to be and I will miss you. May God bless your wife Katie and all of your family and friends. I will see you on the other side mate.

Yes, Patrick's smiling picture echoes his adorable laugh...his laughter always made us laugh. He knew how to love well..evidenced by choosing to love Katie. His tenderheartedness was evidenced in a small sweet dog, Larry. Patrick you gave us all so much to remember you by...and give us reason to seek and know Jesus and His gift of Grace. See you soon. Aunt Lana and Uncle Dave.
