Patrick Collins Obituary

Obituary published on Legacy.com by Logan Funeral Home, Inc. - Exton on Dec. 22, 2025.
Patrick Collins, a man whose wit was as sharp as his love for the Yankees, took his final bow on December 19, 2025, in Philadelphia, PA, after a valiant battle with cancer complications.

Born on July 9, 1970, in the Bronx, NY, Patrick's charm and humor were as much a part of him as his New York roots.

Patrick, known to all simply as "the man, the myth, the legend," was a master of laughter and a scholar of life, holding a Master's Degree from St. John's University. He parlayed his education into a successful career in Government Affairs.

But let's talk about his real passions- besides the obvious professional success, Patrick's heart belonged to two leading ladies: his wife, Christi, and his beloved daughter, Riley.

Patrick was a beacon of love, kindness, and generosity, touching the lives of everyone he met.

In his lifetime, Patrick never met a stranger-just friends he hadn't joked with yet. He had a talent for making people feel welcome and valued, a gift that made him not just a great man, but a memorable one.

So, here's to Patrick Collins, a man who lived, laughed, and loved with everything he had. He's the kind of guy you couldn't forget if you tried, and why would you want to?

His legacy of laughter and love lives on, not just in his family, but in all who were lucky enough to know him.

Visitation with family and friends will be held on Saturday, January 10, 2026, from 11:00-12:00 PM with a memorial service to begin at 12:00 PM all to be held in the Logan Funeral Home, Inc., 698 E. Lincoln Highway, Exton, PA 19341.

Christi and I have been best friends since we were kids. I never thought anyone was good enough for her until I met Patrick. The way he spoke about her and the sweet glances he made when she wasn´t looking melted my heart. Patrick was everything I wanted for Christi and so much more. I love him for loving her the way he did. She deserved the best and got it. It was an honor to be a bridesmaid and witness them say their vows to each other. I´ll never forget the whole weekend. When Riley was born Patrick was a natural at fatherhood. I know how much Patrick adored his girls and they always came first. I feel blessed to have known Patrick and he will never be forgotten. The world is a better place because Patrick Collins was in it. I´m a Phillies fan but I´m rooting for the Yankees to go all the way next year!

Heartbroken to hear of the loss. I was fortunate to know and work with Patrick over the last few years. He was the consummate professional and set an example we can all aspire to. My condolences.

I knew Patrick through work. He was smart, always kind, fair and had a lot of good relationships. He started his position with a company the same time I started my job at a trade association. So, we bonded, respected each other and worked well together for 20 years. He was a genuinely good guy. My sincere condolences his family.
