I Didn't know pat as good as a lot of folks. But I worked at oreilly auto parts in fort oglethorpe. Pat came in regular and we became friends. He always had a smile on his face even when he was sick. He always told me he loved me like a brother and hugged me when he left. I was so sad to find out he had passed. Hope to see you again my friend love you like a brother.

I had the pleasure to be raised in the same church with Mike and the Murdock family. Although I had not had the opportunity to see Mike in many years, I always retained fond memories of the years that I did interact with him and his family. My thoughts are with his family.

I love you Daddy.

One of Pat's signature gestures has always been a big bear hug (for men and women alike) along with the sweetest expression and the soft spoken words "I Love You." Of all the wonderful things about Pat, I'll miss this the most. This was the essence of Pat. He declared and showed his love for all of us and most especially for his Lord Jesus Christ, for whom he was a true dedicated disciple. I'll carry Pat's words and hugs in my heart from now on as comfort and encouragement. Along with his wife, my dear friend Nikki, Pat truly made a difference in this world, the kind that would make our Lord say "well done." All my love forever to you, Pat......Janie XXXOOO

So many memories come to mind, time spent with Pat and Nikki. I am at a loss for words for this special man. There will never be another man like you Pat, so full of life and love for all who were blessed to share a part of your life.

Martha Faye: I certainly remember you and your brothers from my days at the City Hall Annex. I'm so sorry about the news concerning Pat. He was always kind person to me and will certainly be missed.

It seems like just yesterday that we were eating with Pat and the rest of the church's lunch bunch and enjoying his many yarns. I don't know the family well, but I will keep you in my prayers for a long time to come. Many of us lost loved ones this year, so we will lean on each other and support each other.
