Micah Pattison

Micah Pattison, 44, of Kansas City, Missouri, passed away on October 17, 2023, in his hometown. Born to Michael and Beth Pattison (Rowley) on September 9, 1979, in Kansas City, Micah was a beloved husband, father, brother, friend and son. He leaves behind cherished memories and a legacy of kindness and love.

Micah found himself distinguished from the rest rather early on in life. His complex and genius-level mind allowed him to become proficient in any skill or craft he chose. His interests ranged the gambit, varying from Mechanical Works & Automation Control to singing Oldies tunes and sketching portraits in pencil. Micah was a seeker of knowledge, enjoying both the learning aspect and the teaching. Many evenings were spent tutoring in calculus, where he himself did not use nor need scrap paper to solve equations. A kind and sweet-natured man, Micah took great pleasure in his quick wit and sense of humor, often being the "champion" of any and all rival banter he may encounter. Making others laugh was a favorite pastime for Micah. A jovial man, he could often be heard belting out oldies tunes while going throughout his day. Micah was happiest when surrounded by those he loved and adored. He was especially fond of cats and had several throughout his life, including Noodle and Murphy Pattison, who were called home before him.

Micah is survived by his wife, Marilyn Pattison, his children James Pattison (Tori Randal) Keira and Nolan Pattison (Kaley Klinkenberg), step children Nicolas Weaver and Maranda Adriano, his brother Justin Pattison (Samantha), and his brothers Jackson and Colter Pattison. He also leaves behind aunts, uncles, and several nieces and a nephew. Micah was preceded in death by his mother, Beth Pattison (Rowley), his father, Michael Pattison, paternal grandparents Elaine and Jim Pattison and maternal grandparents Esther & Arthur Carson.

Micah's educational journey led him to the KU School of Engineering, where he earned a Bachelor's degree in Civil Engineering. He received the outstanding academic achievement award in 2010. Micah's career was marked by success and growth. In 2018, he became a project manager at Tyson Foods, showcasing his exceptional skills and leadership. In 2019, Micah transitioned into a Controls Engineer role, further excelling in his field.

Beyond his professional pursuits, Micah had a passion for slow dancing and was a creator at heart. He had the ability to master any hobby he chose, including drawing, wood working, and gardening. Micah also enjoyed writing lists and letters, finding solace in prose. He had a deep love for watching KU Basketball, cheering on his favorite team.

A memorial service to celebrate Micah's life will be held on October 26, 2023, from 2 PM to 4 PM at Heartland Cremation Society, located at 6113 Blue Ridge Blvd, Raytown, MO 64133. In lieu of flowers, the family kindly requests that donations be made to KC PET PROJECT, a cause close to Micah's heart.

The compassionate professionals at Heartland Cremation Society in Raytown, Missouri, are honored to assist the family during this difficult time.

Please join us in remembering and honoring the life of Micah Pattison. May his kindness, love, and remarkable spirit continue to inspire us all.

these lyrics make me think of you, as well as my grief
"i wanna sleep in your car while you're driving
lay on your lap when i'm crying"
&
"wanna listen to the sound of you blinking
wanna listen to your hands soothe
listen to your heart beating
listen to the way you move"

i remember all that you were. what you look, smell, feel like. how i felt around you, i was always a daddy's girl. no one could make me feel as safe as you did when i was a little girl. you were solid, like a tree. i couldn't push you around when i was that age, no matter how hard i tried. and now you are gone, and it feels strange. i still picture you as i did the last time i saw you, years ago. i'm not sure if i should be thankful for my last image of you or not. if i saw you before you passed, would i no longer see you as strong? what would i think of you, as a teenager? i'm really not sure.

Micah and I go back to middle school. He was always cracking jokes and so fun to be around. Lots of memories with that guy. Throughout the years we kept in touch from time to time. He was always a great friend when I needed someone to talk to, cracking jokes to make me feel better. He would reach out when things were going good in his life and last we spoke he was raving about his wife and kitties. I´ll always remember his laugh and smile. My condolences to family and friends, such a loss.
