Gary Patterson Obituary
Born on July 15, 1968, in Montgomery, Alabama, Gary spent much of his life between Dothan and Rockford. He found joy in being near the water and especially cherished time spent fishing with friends and family.
He was preceded in death by his father, Jim Patterson. He is survived by his mother, Gale Reynolds Lee; sons Travis Patterson (Jen Miller) and Taylor Patterson (Tori Duncan); grandchildren Hollie, Kenleigh Grace, Kason, Mavis, Ellie Mae and Shane; sister Shelli Patterson; as well as many beloved cousins and friends.
In accordance with Gary's wishes, no formal services will be held. In lieu of flowers, he requested that those wishing to honor his memory consider donating to their local blood bank or to St. Jude Children's Research Hospital.
May his memory bring a smile to those who knew him.
