The bond you grew with Alana and Jase was inseparable. You showed up in the ways that truly mattered - in the everyday moments that quietly shape a child´s heart, with a kind of love that leaves a permanent mark. Nothing can erase it, and nothing can replace it.
You were there for every lawnmower ride, every birthday party, every baseball game and practice, every parade, every festival, every Disney trip, every school event, every holiday, and every special trip to see Santa at Bass Pro. You showed up for them time and time again, even in moments when I couldn´t.
You watched Jase and Alana grow from babies into young teenagers, never missing a moment. You loved them deeply and helped shape them into who they are today. You were the best Pop Pop they could have ever asked for, and they love you dearly.
You will never be forgotten. Your love lives on through them and can never be replaced. We will always love and cherish every moment we spent with you! -Alana , Jase & Jennifer & Jake

You were there when Alana took her very first breath, and from that moment on, you never skipped a beat. Before she was even born-while I was still carrying her-you asked me if you could be her grandfather. You chose her, and she chose you right back. I truly believe she was already bonding with you while she was still growing inside me.
You didn´t just hold that title in name-you lived it. You showed up. You loved deeply. You gave her your time, your presence, your protection, and your heart. You were there for the big moments and the quiet ones, the laughs, the milestones, and everything in between.
You will always be her Pop Pop. Nothing can change that. She loves you dearly, and she will never forget the countless times you were there for her-because love like yours doesn´t disappear. It lives on in memories, in stories, and in the way she will always know she was cherished beyond measure and spoiled beyond measure.
Thank you for loving her like your own. Thank you for choosing us. You will forever be part of her story, and part of ours.

Patrick I am sorry you were suffering so immensely. You were so happy and cheerful at one time. We had so many great times with the kids on the boat at crab Island or just hanging out barbecuing. Fly high and rest easy my friend!
