Patrick Gillon Obituary

LEESBURG, Fla./ROCHESTER - Patrick Michael Gillon, of Leesburg, Fla., went to his heavenly home Monday (September 19, 2022) at his earthly home in Rochester, N.Y. He was 70 years old.

Pat's Christian faith was an essential part of his life. He was a beloved husband, father, brother, uncle and grandfather.

Patrick was predeceased by his parents, Mary Ellen Kabel and Bernard Gillon.

He is survived by his loving and devoted wife of 24 years, Paula; daughter, Emily Pilato; granddaughter, Peyton; daughter, Lisa Gillon; brother, August (Kim) Gillon; sisters Pam (Steve) Mason and Eileen (Joe) Buerster; sisters-in-law, Audrey Delong and Christine Valerio; and many nieces and nephews. Pat will be truly missed by Sadie, his dog.

First and foremost, Pat was a Christian, who brought many people to the Lord. He was never shy about sharing his faith with everyone.

Pat was a lifelong Buffalo Bills fan and an avid golfer. Let's Go Buffalo!

Pat received a Master's degree in Computer Technology from Syracuse University and Bachelor's degree in Civil Engineering from Clarkson University.
