Our sincere condolences on the loss of Patrick. Knowing that he did not let his diagnosis control him, but he ruled his life over his diagnosis gives us all inspiration. It could not have been easy for Patrick or his family. Our prayers for strength are with you all.

Kristy and family,
What a wonderful memorial on Saturday.It was such a great tribute and celebration of Pats life. He acomplished so much in his years.It sounds like Pat touched so many lives in so many ways and brought so much joy to so many people.
His wonderful outlook on life was incrediable. I beleive the love and wonderful parenting you gave to him showed in so many ways.
The article in The Everett Herald was such a special reflection on Pats life.
It just touched only a small part of his life and what he went thru and accomplished
It seems he was bigger then life itself.
Life is your gift from God,what you do with it is you gift to God.
What a gift Pat has given to God.
Thoughts,prayer and my love go out to you and your family

My thoughts are with you and your family. I did not know Patrick, and just read your story by chance online. Such a beautiful story, and I pray you continue to find peace and love the moments you did have together always. When you find yourself down...think of something funny he did with you. Take care,

Conley Family,
I'm so sorry to hear of your loss. Pat was such an incredible guy. I only got to run into him here and there these last few years, but each time I did he just brightened my whole day. What a treasure Pat was, to everyone he encountered. He was such a special guy, such a great sparkle in his eye all the time, no matter what. He will be missed very much. Our thoughts and prayers are with each of you during this difficult time.

Conley Family,
Thank you for sharing Patrick with our family all these years. He was a great friend to Erik & Chris, a big brother to Casey and an extended member of our family who took out the garbage without being asked!
Patrick/Paddywack, we will miss your sense of adventure, your ready smile & twinkle in your eye, but we will carry all the memories forever. You will be missed deeply by all of us.

Kristy~Bruce, Jaclyn, Christopher, Jack~Maggie: We were blessed for having known Patrick: From his Pre- Pre-school days and on: He was our daughters first crush/and first kiss and then later to a very good friend.. We managed to connect periodically over the years, and it was always like no time had elapsed.. always a beautiful smile that reached his gorgeous blue eyes. Thinking of all of you... and holding you up in prayer.
God's Peace be with you.

When we'd hear the roar of his truck coming up 9th, Karsten would invariably say, "There's Pat." Most often he would have one or more of his kids with him, smiling as they passed. Pat always waved.
Even when you knew he wasn't feeling well, Pat always had a nice word when he picked up or dropped off a child, a bike, or a skateboard. My son thought the world of Pat, and often said he was the "coolest dude." Mickella, Wesley, and Morgan will always have a special place in my heart. We offer my deepest sympathy at your loss, and will keep you are in our thoughts and prayers. Your friends, Colleen and Karsten

Though it has been years since I have been Pat. I remember back in the days I lived in Monroe and his funny sense of humor and high spirits. I remember a couple years ago I was in Monroe visiting my dad and ran into the store. I ran into Pat and he called my name. I was shocked he had remembered me after so many years. He told me he was shocked I had a kid cause he remembered me sayin I would never have kids. PattyWack you will be missed by all.

Patrick's face caught my attention and then hearing about the 3 children and also that the SCCA and Dr. Scott were a part of his journey. My husband passed away on June 5th of this year after battling Non Hodgkins for 7 years. Our 3 kids and I are doing the best to work through our loss and we will add your family in to our prayers. Such young men and incredible fathers. Blessings, Errin Jacobs, Marysville

There are not enough words to express the feelings and love that people have for Pat. I have known him since we were kids and his loving, caring and fun attitude was always the same. Pat will be missed dearly by everyone, but his soul is in a great place now. All I know is that he is hanging with my little brother now and they loved to play catch back in the day!! My love is with his family!!!

Krisy and family,
Patrick will be missed. Although I have not seen him for years I can still see him on the soccer field and he was always a joy to have at the house. I am sure that Jesus greeted him with open arms and said "Welcome Home my Son." Our thoughts and prayers are with you at this time. May God bless your family and help you to keep strong during this difficult time.
Love,
Andy and Joyce Tjaarda

Pat was on of the most vibrant forces that I have been lucky enough to come across. His smile and laugh are burned into all of my memories of him. He would light up any situation, good or bad. He was a true friend, which in this day and age is hard to find. I guess I was lucky enough to be counted as one of his friends. It's hard to imagine the world without him in it.
God bless his family. My thoughts and prayers are with you during this time.

My thoughts and prayers are with all of those who love Patrick. While I did not have an opportunity to know him personally, I do remember a sweet young boy, not more than 3 or 4 years old, waiting for his big brother and sister to get off of the yellow school bus. When I think of Patrick I still see that little boy with a wide grin on his face. I imagine that Patrick is in heaven now smiling down on all those he loves. My love to Kristy, Chris an Jaclyn. Bless you all.

Pat,we are all so lucky to have known you. I can't think about you without a smile on my face. You were both that sweet and comforting friend that was thoughtful of those he loved, and you were also that mischievious little punk that always made me feel like family! I wasn't related, but you were my little brother and you always told me so. I loved that about you.
To the family, I can't begin to comprehend how you're feeling. No amount of words can give you back this sweet soul, but I pray that you find comfort in your memories of him. I pray that you find comfort in knowing that he is no longer in pain, and I pray that you find comfort in knowing we will see him in heaven someday.
If we've learned anything from Pat, it should be to take care of yourselves and those you love.

Remembering Pat as a young child, he would ride along with the Bigger family and our family out four wheeling in the mountains and on camp outs. Pat grew into being a wonderful young man with adventures of doing things his way and hanging with his family. I will miss him calling me "MOM" and his wonderful smile. RIDE FREE PAT.
