Patrick Glen Herman

It is with profound sadness that we announce the passing of Patrick Herman, who left this world too soon on February 6, 2025. Born on February 12, 1983, at the Lower Bucks Hospital, Patrick lived a life filled with love, passion, laughter and creativity; he will be profoundly missed by those who knew him. He was just shy of his 42nd birthday, his 15th wedding anniversary and his wife's 38th birthday; dates he always looked forward to celebrating with his loving wife.
Patrick, a lifelong resident of Levittown, PA, was the cherished son of Pat and Libby Herman. He was preceded in death by his mother in-law Leigh Ann Heppner, and his loving grandparents, who played an integral role in shaping the person he became. Patrick's love for his family was unwavering, and he is survived by his beloved wife, Dana Herman (Richards), with whom he shared 18 wonderful years with. The two married on February 13, 2010, in a beautiful ceremony at the Church of the Open Door, and their love story was one that inspired all who witnessed it.
In addition to his devoted wife, Patrick leaves behind a loving family that includes his father, Pat Herman; his mother, Libby Herman; his sister and brother in-law, Melissa and Tom Copson; and beloved relatives including his mother and father in-law, Bart and Julia Richards Sr.; and his brothers and sisters in-law, Bart and Emily Richards Jr., Craig Richards, and Grace and Samuel Gilmore. He also cherished his nine nephews and nieces, Dylan and Libby (Melissa and Tom), Chloe, Bella, and Brayden (Craig), Bryce and Clayton (Bart and Emily), and Melody and Ruby (Grace and Samuel), who will forever remember their Uncle Pat with love.
Patrick was a graduate of Truman High School and dedicated many years to serving his community. He started his career as a Mail Clerk for the County of Bucks, and quickly transitioned into the Parks Department as a County Forrester, where he dedicated over a decade in the field he loved, and took great pride in making Bucks County beautiful. He then had the opportunity to become the Mail Room Coordinator at Rosemont College, where he was adored and respected by many of his colleagues and students. His commitment to volunteering in his hometown and on the Rosemont College Campus showcased his generous spirit and desire to give back to the places he loved.
Patrick celebrated 19 years of sobriety this month, something he took immense pride in. He will be remembered for the constant smile that lit up his face, his vibrant, passionate personality, and he was also well known for his sharp intellect. Patrick was a lover of bright colors and coordinated clothing that always made him stand out in a crowd. He had an infectious passion for life and embraced his hobbies with enthusiasm, whether it was being a firework enthusiast, gardening, woodworking, building the loudest speakers anyone could imagine, or assembling bikes and RC cars. He and Dana shared a love for spontaneous road trips, and they delighted in spending quiet moments at home with their beloved cats, for whom Patrick was affectionately known as the "best cat daddy."
Patrick's remarkable spirit touched the lives of many, and as a lasting tribute to his legacy, we would like to continue his work with the students involved in RoseGrow at Rosemont. In lieu of flowers, the family requests that donations be sent to support this heartfelt project refurbishing/building a greenhouse, ensuring Patrick's love for nature and learning will continue to flourish.
