September 28, 1952 – August 21, 2025
Patrick Makselan, age 72, of Painesville, Ohio went home to be with the Lord on Thursday, August 21, 2025.
He was born in September of 1952 in Cleveland, Ohio to John and Mildred Makselan, and was married to Beth Makselan (Wrana) who preceded him in death in August of 2016.
Patrick graduated from South High, in Cleveland, in 1970, and joined the United States Navy where he was stationed and served in Pensacola, Florida. He earned a bachelor's degree from Troy State University and made a home in Pensacola until the year 2000. He returned to Ohio and married Beth, his high school sweetheart, in January of 2001 on the Harpersfield Covered Bridge.
Patrick was a friend to many, beloved in his church community, and known for his kind heart. His wit and candor will be missed by those who knew and loved him, and it's with hope that they carry his spirit forward.
He is survived by his sister Sandra Schlosser (Ken) of Walton Hills, Ohio; John Makselan (Cindy) of Canfield, Ohio; a son, three stepchildren, and several step grandchildren. He was also preceded in death by his brother Don and sisters, Linda and Patricia.
