Patrick Blankemeier

I said a special prayer for you today, Karen. Please know I care. I'm hoping this day has been filled with extended kindness and may this year ahead be a year of blessings for you and your family.

I am deeply sorry for your loss. Please take comfort in the scripture found at 1Thessalonians 4:14:For if we have faith that Jesus died and rose again, so too God will bring with him those who have fallen asleep in death through Jesus.

May the God of all comfort strengthen the family during this time of deep sorrow. Those who pass on, God keeps in his memory because they are precious in his eyes. My sincerest condolences. (Psalms 116:15)

I am sorry for your loss. May you draw strength in in knowing the fact that God is the Creator of life, and He is capable of restoring life to someone who has died. Acts 17 : 24, 25. C M

Patrick was one of the nicest guys I'll ever know. I really enjoyed working with him and his aircraft in El Cajon. Gone too soon

What an excellent man & instructor to me many years ago.

There is so much to say and share. The tears flow like a river. Pat and JP are with each other and that's a good thing. Such of loss of words. I'm so sorry.

May God bless you and your family in this time of sorrow. Please know you are in my prayers throughout the days to come.

My thoughts and prayers are with you in your time of grief. May your memories bring you comfort.

My sincere condolences to the family. I have been an airline pilot for 29 years. When looking for a flight school for my son I visited Rocky Mountain Metro airport where I met Pat. His calm demeanor and professionalism convinced me to trust him and his flight school with my sons pilot training. He was always a pleasure to speak with and clearly an excellent role model for aspiring pilots. The aviation community has lost a true friend.

Peace be with you,

Tom Brinton

Pat was the nicest guy you could ever meet. He was a good friend and would be there for you in a heartbeat.

We had a blast growing up together and attending Patrick Henry High School. We were all part of the same "gang" that consisted of members from San Carlos, Del Cerro and Allied Gardens.

Tomorrow I will play my old '70's rock and roll songs and remember the good times we had.

Love to Karen, Stephanie and Kevin...

I am shaken by the loss of Pat. Probably the best guy I ever flew with.

Was so very sorry to see this in the paper today. Love and prayers to the family. Pat lived one street over from us in San Carlos long ago, when we all were in Jr. High. He, along with his friend Chris, would hang out at our house from time to time. We would play football in the street and had lots of good times. He was an all around good guy. Much love to you all.

My heart broke when I heard about Pat. He was a wonderful neighbor and friend in Santee and a fun bunko player! And never mind a great pilot. Karen, Stephanie and Kevin : always remember he loved you very very much. Our thoughts and prayers are with you.

Love,
Pat and Ron Hornik
Santee, CA

I shared many flights with Patrick as I worked on my CFII. He was a great instructor and had a passion for flight and instructing. He will be missed. My condolences to the family.

We will miss Pat very much. Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your kids.

My sincere condolences to the family may you find comfort in the God of all comfort.
