Patrick J. "Pat" Halloran

Patrick J. "Pat" Halloran, 58, of Ingleside, passed away peacefully at Holy Family Hospital on Tuesday, December 30, 2025, following a long and courageous journey with health challenges. Patrick was born in Chicago on Thursday, October 26, 1967, the son of John and Kathleen (McLaughlin) Halloran. He was a 1985 graduate of William Fremd High School and continued his education at Harper College and the University of Illinois Extension, where he pursued his passion for horticulture.
Patrick Halloran was the owner of Halloran Horticulture Services, a business built through decades of hard work, dedication, and an unmatched work ethic. A true blue collar man, Pat worked long days and early mornings, providing for his family as a single father of three. He stepped away from his work in 2022, marking the close of a life defined by perseverance and responsibility.
In his younger years, Pat was known by the name "Happy" a nickname that reflected his adventurous spirit and sense of humor. He had a lifelong passion for dirt bikes, ice racing, speed, engines, and anything with a motor. Especially the kind you feel in your chest. As a devoted Chicago fan, he loudly supported the Chicago Bears, Cubs, and carried deep pride in our city.
A certified professional, he was widely respected for his knowledge of plants and trees and could identify countless species by sight, often by their Latin names. Family, friends, and colleagues regularly sought his guidance, and his children relied on him as a trusted source of advice.
He was close with his family and deeply valued those relationships. Pat shared a strong bond with his parents and siblings and held great trust and respect for them throughout his life. He made sure his kids knew how much family meant to him.
Nothing mattered more to Pat than his children. His life was devoted to them, and he spoke of them often and with immense pride. He carried that same devotion into grandfatherhood and found great joy in his grandchildren, especially his first grandchild, Isaiah who came when he was just 37. Isaiah and Pat were 2 of a kind, and he loved to drive around with isaiah in his big work truck.
Pat was deeply loved and will be greatly missed by his family, friends, and all who knew him. Patrick Halloran will forever hold a place in the hearts of those who knew and loved him.
Survived by his mother, Kathleen; children, Kelly (Bryan) Adam, Patrick (Rachael Werner) Halloran, Kristine Halloran, Molly (Nick) Doll, Jimmy (Gretchen) Doll; siblings, Peggy Ripoli, Michael (Jill), Brian (Debbie), Halloran; grandchildren, Isaiah, Kellem, Ember, Forrest, Alex, Liam, Elena, Raven; and many nieces and nephews.
