Born in Minneapolis, Mn 1952. Patrick grew up in Minnetonka, Mn, and graduated from Minnetonka High school in 1970. He went on to earn a degree in Business from St. Cloud State University graduating in 1974. Patrick began his career in sales with Johnson and Johnson after he graduated from college. He moved on to Procter & Gamble and then was a direct diamond representative for the Midwest area. His career continued in various sales positions with Holes Webway, CPS Giftwrap Corp., TN, Rennoc Corp, NJ and Christmas Atlanta, Atlanta, Ga.

Patrick retired to Surprise, AZ and was working in security for Dick's Sporting Goods. He enjoyed playing golf, buck euchre, and staying out of the cold weather.

Patrick was truly a friend for life;
A great loving father who wanted to provide his son, Ian, all the opportunities he did not have when he was growing up .

His deep jovial laughter could be heard resonating throughout any gathering!

Patrick, was a master storyteller, with an amazing gift for hitting the punchlines, especially the Ole and Lena jokes

He enjoyed many sports : hunting , fishing, baseball, and especially golf.

Although a world traveler, of many wild adventures, he would say that some of the best scenery in the world could be seen on a golf course . No wonder so many vacations involved golfing.

He adored his Labrador hunting companions: Daisy, Sure-Shot -Double-Or-Nothing and Sunny.

He also loved playing the card game Buck-euchre with his dear friends.

He shared in his later years that he really wished to help others more in some way.
He said he loved life itself . "I loved to live!" He was deeply grateful for his friends who were there for him throughout his life .

Most of all, he enjoyed celebrating birthdays, events , and especially Christmas!

Through all those sparkling lighted Christmas trees, animated Santa's, garlands, tinsel, ornaments and more, he created the gifts of joy and love for friends and family to share throughout the world for many years to come !

Please share your stories and adventures you had with Patrick and post pictures too. Let's keep Patrick's legacy alive in all of our hearts . Thank you .

When you talk about my friend Pat Low, the question is not 'what do I say about Pat'.....it's 'where do I start to summarize 50 years of friendship'!....the trips, the parties, the golf.....on and on....
I think the true measure of a friend is how your friendship grows, and I can honestly say that I was closer to Pat near the end than I ever was.
Pat was larger than life....he was a party guy....he had a great sense of humor and was a quick with a laugh. Whenever I picture Pat in my minds eye, he always had a big smile.
Past and I were roommates back in the early 1980s....a unique experience indeed! On hot weekend afternoons, Pat would make pitchers of daiquiris and pour for everyone at our Condo pool. He turned the pool into a party and soon became a favorite character at our complex.
We stayed in touch even as he moved away to Atlanta to start a new life. When he returned to the Twin Cities years later, we picked up right where we left off. As best friends do, we did so much together ....golf, movies, dinners...etc.
When Pat's health took him to Arizona, I made it a point to visit him when I could. We went to ball games, played golf, took day trips to the Grand Canyon or Antelope Canyon. We made a lot of memories in the last several years even as his health began to decline.
For the last couple of years, I spoke to (or texted) Pat at least every other day. I communicated with Pat about everything...his health, sports, politics, etc......I feel a real void by not being able to reach out to my friend to talk about life.
For the people who knew Pat, they know that Pat was one of a kind.
I miss him every day.
