Pat was born on December 19, 1966 in Memphis, TN to Dorothy Faye and Malcolm Patterson "Pat" Astor Jr. He attended Harding Academy and Memphis State University.
He was a sports fan. He played basketball all through grade school. During high school he continued to play basketball and also ran track. He loved the outdoors. He was always working or playing outside on his farm where he took in neglected/abused farm animals.
He was currently employed at Siemens where he was recently promoted to Branch General Manager for Iowa & Nebraska.
Pat is survived by his wife of 11 years, Shawna; his daughters Lindsey, Alana, Ella & Eva Astor; his parents, Malcolm & Dorothy Astor; his bother Jonathan "Jon" (Misty) Astor; his furry kids, Brinley, Zoey & Dixie (Big Dog), among many other animals on his farm.
In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be directed to a GoFundMe account setup for Shawna.

Pat was a wonderful human being. He was a champion to beings who had no voice and always stood for doing what is right. He was the light and so proud to be his friend. Love and light to his friends and family.

So Sad.... My best memory: Pat won the Region HJ (6-5 or 6-6 or higher?) at Union City in the mid 80´s. His win propelled Harding to a surprise team Region Championship over MUS & others...... He was a great guy and a great teammate - another of Coach Bonner´s "physical wrecks". I have wonderful memories of Pat..... Coach Rubio
