Beloved husband of Maureen (nee Carroll). Loving father of Josie and Charlie.

Son of the late John and Mary (nee Glynn) Gilligan. Godfather of Moira Gilligan and Sarah (Gilligan) Moran. Fond uncle of many nieces and nephews, a cousin, and a friend of many.

Patrick was a master of anything he was interested in - carpentry, photography, pottery, painting and so much more. His knowledge of the natural world was vast and shared widely. He was fierce in all he did - loving his family and friends, serving every soul of his community the instant they needed him.
