Pat was definitely a great man and mentor. I have known Pat since his days at CH2M Hill and now as a colleague at EA. Pat is one of the main reasons I have the job I have now. I will miss him dearly. I had my own medical problems two years ago when I had to have open heart surgery and Pat was one of the first people to check on not just me but my wife to see if we needed anything. It is hard to lose someone like Pat because it feels like we need a lot more Pat´s in the this world.

I am deeply saddened to hear about Pat passing. He was a co-worker of mine when he worked at CH2M HILL. He was one of my mentors and provided me with useful advice not only professionally but also personally. May he rest in peace and my deepest sympathies go out to his family and friends.

Pat was a good friend, amazing supervisor, and great person. He was always kind and warm. He never lost his cool in any situation. I will miss many conversations with him about family and career. I was very sad to hear Pat had passed away unexpectedly. He will be greatly missed. My deepest condolences to all his family and friends.

I did not know Pat personally, but love and know his parents Pam and Gordon, who are the kindest and most generous friends. From what I have read, Pat had these same qualities. May you all take good care of each other until you are once again together.
With love,

Please accept my sincere condolences on the loss of Pat. He was an amazing co-worker, peer, mentor, was well respected in our business, and was an all-around outstanding person. I considered him a good friend as well and will miss the many conversations we held. He had a way of finding positivity in any situation, always saw the best in people, and handled his battle with AML with courage, always keeping a positive outlook. We will all miss Pat greatly.

I have only worked with Patrick a short time since 2020 on our shared work at Tinker AFB, but gathered that in addition to being an excellent technical professional and manager, he loved his family. I was so very sorry to hear of his sudden passing and my prayers are with his family and friends as everyone grieves his loss.

Pat was a co-worker, mentor, and friend of mine while we worked together at CH2M Hill in Dallas. He was a problem solver with a smile on his face that made the challenging times less so. He always had time to listen and provide thoughtful advice to a junior staff member. I am thankful for having known Pat and am so saddened by his early passing. My deepest condolences to all his family and friends.
