Patrick J. "PJ" Gibbons, age 71, son of the late Francis and the late Patricia Gibbons passed suddenly on January 14, 2024. Loving father of Patrick Jr. (Fiancé Kelsey Smith), daughter Kathleen (Bryan) Baer, and the late James Fitzpatrick. Proud grandfather to Robert, James, and Teghan Baer. Dear brother of Daniel (Kathy Arneson), Deborah (Thomas) Hagensee, Maureen (Robert) Kolar, Thomas (Mary), Michael (Pam Pavone) and the late Frank (Brenda) and Mary Fran; Loving uncle, cousin, and friend to many.
PJ began his career with the City of Elmhurst Public Works Water Department. He later became the head of maintenance and plumbing at Elmhurst Memorial Hospital, where he spent 20+ years. Following the hospital, he retired as the Facilities manager at St. Peters United Church of Christ in Elmhurst.
PJ was an avid golfer and shared that passion with his family and friends, passing that passion onto his two sons. As a lifelong resident of the Chicagoland area, he was a diehard Bears, Hawks, Sox and Bulls fan, as well as a supporter of all local Elmhurst football teams. A loved member of the community, who will truly be missed.
