Pat was always a very humble person, and good hearted. He was generous and kind to anyone that he encountered and could usually bring a smile to your face and a laugh. Pat loved to laugh, joke and have fun. Growing up in the country in Kingsville, TX, he participated in 4-H and FFA for 10 years in Kleberg County and earned the distinguished award of Gold Star in 4-H and won multiple awards with the steers that he raised and sold.
He was always willing to lend a helping hand to anyone in need. He loved our Lord Jesus and loved to encounter Him through the Holy Eucharist in Holy Communion. Throughout most of his life, he served in the church. As a young boy, Pat would ride his bike to church to be the altar server at St. Gertrudes Catholic Church in Kingsville, TX. He earned a Diocesan award in the Corpus Christi Diocese for best alter server.
Pat served in the Knights of Columbus and earned a distinguished 4th degree Knight level. Pat was very active in St. Mary's Star of the Sea Catholic Church in Aransas Pass, TX. He served as minister of hospitality, Eucharistic minister, and voluntarily did maintenance and electric work at the church.
Pat graduated from Henrietta M. King High School and received an Associates from St. Phillips College in San Antonio, where he began his path as a Journeyman Electrician. He was very meticulous with his work through the years and performed electric work with top performance and precision. In his retirement, he often could be caught on a John Deere tractor helping members of the family and enjoying farming. Pat took a lot of time and enjoyed working hard with his gardening hobby and often shared the fruits of his labor with family and friends. He recently began travelling the world with his wife, Tracy which he married December 28, 1991 in Sarita, Tx.
