Patrick L Bayles

Patrick L Bayles, a cherished husband, father, grandfather, great-grandfather, and brother, passed away peacefully on January 22, 2026, in Titusville, FL, at the age of 60. Born on January 15, 1966, in Melbourne, FL, Patrick's life was a testament to the power of dedication, love, and joyous spirit.

Patrick grew up in the warm embrace of his family, the beloved son of Vernon L and Joanne (Salmons) Bayles, who preceded him in death, as did his brother Vernon Bayles. His family was the cornerstone of his life, and he leaves behind a legacy of love and strength. His devoted wife of over nine years, Janice E (Tuten) Bayles, will remember him as a partner who brought unwavering support and companionship to their marriage. His children, Patrick, Dustin (Mellissa), Nathan White (Chelsea), Jacob (Kaitlyn), Phillip Brannen, Jeromy Brannen, and Jaime Hill, will carry forward his values and the lessons he imparted throughout his life.

Patrick's joy multiplied with the arrival of each grandchild. Levi, Waylon, Walker, Hailey, Wyatt, Lily, Noah, Mason, Zoe, Ryan, Cole, and Charlotte were the sparkles in his eyes, and the anticipation of welcoming his great-granddaughter Korra added to his happiness in his final days. His great-grandson Sawyer will hold dear the memories created with his 'Pop-Pop.' Patrick's sister, Lori Rakow (David "Dak"), and his nieces and nephews will fondly remember the bond they shared, filled with laughter and mutual respect.

A plumber by trade, Patrick, was respected for his skill and work ethic. His hands were not only adept at his craft but also at expressing his love through the hobbies he enjoyed. An avid football fan, he never missed a chance to cheer on his favorite team, the Miami Dolphins, finding camaraderie and excitement in every game. Fishing, boating, and golfing were not just pastimes for Patrick; they were avenues through which he connected with friends, nature, and the peaceful moments of life.

Patrick's life was characterized by his industrious nature. He was a hardworking man who took pride in providing for his family and setting an example of diligence. His tireless efforts were always in the service of those he loved, and his legacy is one of unwavering commitment to his loved ones and his craft.

As we say goodbye to Patrick L Bayles, we celebrate the life of a man whose presence was a beacon of stability and joy. His memory will continue to inspire and guide us, and his love will forever be the anchor of our family. Though he has left this earthly realm, the essence of his spirit-a blend of strength, warmth, and generosity-will remain with us always.
