Patrick W. Divine, age 68, of Minnetonka, Minnesota, passed away peacefully on August 3, 2024, after a courageous battle with Progressive Supranuclear Palsy (PSP). A lifelong resident of Minnesota, Pat was raised in Edina and began his career at Hoigaards before pursuing higher education. He earned two honors degrees and subsequently built a fulfilling career as a Radiologic Technologist with Twin Cities Orthopedics.

Pat was a devoted outdoorsman who enjoyed camping and spending time in nature. He was a loving partner to Ann Davies and a proud father to Brian (Shayna), Teresa, and Randy (Jodie). His grandchildren, Austin, Makayla, Bailey, Noah, and Jordan, brought him immense joy, as did his great-grandchildren, Charlotte, Callum, and Sullivan.

Pat is also survived by his brother, Kevin (Nancy); sisters, Karen (Greg) and Cathy (Jon); niece, Shannon (Nick); and nephews, Steven (Katie), Tom, and Nick. He was preceded in death by his parents, Thomas and Marie; and sister, Peggy.

"We Are Dreaming of a Time When the Land Might Give Thanks for the People," a quote by Robin Wall Kimmerer, Braiding Sweetgrass, resonated deeply with Pat's commitment to the environment and native plants. This quote serves as a fitting tribute to his life and legacy.

Memorial donations may be made in Pat's name to The Oglala Sioux Tribe Partnership for Housing (OSTPH).
