Mark Allen Patterson

On May 23, 2023, the world lost a funny, witty, smart, and dedicated man – Mark Allen Patterson. Born on September 15, 1949, in Crosbyton, TX, Mark lived a life filled with laughter, love, and adventure. He spent his days working as a utility contractor in the commercial utilities industry. He married his loving wife Jan on November 13, 1993, and they built a successful business, Deerwood Construction. Together, they created a beautiful life, residing in Spur, Texas, where Mark's passion for his ranch, antique cars, and feeding wildlife flourished. When not at home, Mark loved traveling – especially cruising with Jan and his sister Phillis – and giving back to his Lubbock community through involvement with Women's Protective Services, Meals on Wheels, The South Plains Food Bank, and The Ranching Heritage Center.
Mark is survived by his wife, Jan Patterson; his daughters, Tammy (Richard) Fitzpatrick, Tracy (Richard) Norris, Sandy (Branden) Proffitt, and Tammie Goldston; his brother, Rusty (Gwen) Patterson; his sister, Phillis (Michael) Orrick; his grandchildren, Dustin Davis, Brittany Marshall, Colton Hodges, Presleigh Duncan, and Payton Norris. He is preceded in death by his parents, Alvie and Luradean Patterson.
