Johnny was born on Sunday, October 29, 1950, in Delhi, LA and passed away peacefully surrounded by family on Thursday, February 22, 2024, in Ferriday, LA.
He is reunited with his parents, Kelly Ray Patrick, and Joy Pitts Patrick; son, Clint Orin Patrick; and brother, Kerry "Bubba" Boyce Patrick. JP started his law enforcement career as a Louisiana State Trooper in the early 70"s. After a few years, he took a job with the FBI which required he and his family to relocate to St. Louis, MO. Several years later, he re-joined the Louisiana State Police as an undercover agent, which he absolutely loved. Shortly after that, he found his calling to run for Concordia Parish Sheriff and enjoyed serving the people of Concordia Parish. In 1985, he began selling insurance with Farm Bureau and then Shelter Insurance until his retirement. JP spent his retirement making memories with his children and grandchildren on Lake Concordia swimming and boat riding. Many of you know JP from 4-wheeler riding days at M&D and Poole Road. He was known for leading the way and hitting the deepest mud holes he could find. He always ended the night with loud music and a good fire in the woods.
