O'Connell Family Funeral Homes and Cremation Services - PrescottPatrick Francis Fallon passed away on February 1, 2026, at the age of 84. Born on August 24, 1941, in Milwaukee, WI, Patrick was the youngest of seven children and grew up surrounded by the love and energy of a big family.
Patrick was a devoted son, brother, uncle, husband, father, and grandfather. A lifelong lover of sports, he enjoyed baseball, played football in his youth, and became one of his grandchildren’s most loyal fans, rarely missing a game, meet, or match. In his earlier years, he loved hunting with family and his beloved dog, Finnagain. As time went on, he found great joy in sharing his passions with the younger generation, always eager to teach, encourage, and inspire.
A proud graduate of Marquette High School (Class of 1959), and Marquette University (Class of 1964), Patrick earned his degree in Mechanical Engineering. If you had the opportunity to speak with him, you likely knew this—he was an engineer through and through, and his sharp, analytical mind shaped how he saw the world. Over the course of his career, Patrick wore many hats: Engineer at the Falk Corporation in Milwaukee, business owner of AMT Ambulance Service, and later a Quality Control Auditor for Siemens Westinghouse, where he completed his professional journey.
Patrick carried his love of learning, storytelling, and curiosity throughout his life. Though he had once hoped to serve in the Air Force, he found countless meaningful ways to serve through family, faith, and community. A man of deep and abiding faith, he lived his beliefs quietly and consistently each day. He was also a proud member of the Knights of Columbus, a role that reflected his commitment to service, fellowship, and faith in action.
He loved music, good stories — especially the ones he told — and the comfort of home. Patrick found his greatest happiness simply being with the people he loved most.
Patrick will be deeply missed by his wife, Jo Anne; daughter Dawn (John) Mansergh; grandchildren Jarrett and Megan; sister in law Patricia Fallon; numerous in laws, nieces, and nephews; and the lifelong friends he considered his high school and college brothers.
He was preceded in death by his parents, George and Elizabeth; and siblings George, Margaret, Donald, Rosemarie (Howard) Tapper, Kenneth, and Terrence.
Visitation will be held from 10:00–11:00 AM on Saturday, February 21, 2026, followed by an 11:00 AM Mass of Christian Burial at St. Patrick’s Catholic Church, 1500 Vine St., Hudson. The family invites you to join them for a luncheon immediately following the Mass. Urn placement will take place afterward at the church columbarium.
The family extends their heartfelt appreciation to the many caregivers at Baldwin Care Center and Comforts of Home in Hudson for the compassionate care and support they provided to Patrick in his final months.
In lieu of flowers, the family encourages donations to one of the following organizations:
