Patrick Jay Spinks

I´m so sorry to hear about Patrick´s death. Patrick and I served together in Vietnam. My condolences to all the family.

I've only had the pleasure of knowing Patrick for just under a year. We crossed paths while we were restoring a V100 armored vehicle that he had actually served on while in Vietnam '69-'71. Because of Patrick (aka "Spunky" in 'Nam) I was able to connect with a number of his army MP buddies and retrace the forgotten service of this V100. Patrick is on the top of the vehicle pictured below. Definitely going to miss him.

Ah, Pat we were just talking ball. You played golf with my dad when I was gone. You fought for your country. You lived a good Christian life and have a great family. Now you are in your reward, you will be missed and cried over but we all know you are in a better place. God bless your family and let them have the peace of understanding.

Pat was a memorable part of my high school time. I remember going to his parents and watching films Pat had sent from Vietnam. His safe return was a great celebration. I am sure he is in God´s hands dancing and fishing. Prayers

Thank you, Pat for your friendship in Kermit TX.

Rest in peace Pat never will forget the bull puppy you give me back in the day you taught me a lot about them rest in peace my friend

Grew up with the Spinks. He will be missed by all that knew him.

Cutest cousin ever. Those twinkling eyes and mischievous eyes. He taught me to dance and didn´t care that I was clumsy and self conscious. I could feel the love and kindness.

I played in new horizons, band with patrick. I played the percussion part right behind him.So my favorite thing to do was to hit the drum really, really hard.So he could hear me, he was a very kind, thoughtful and caring person always made you feel right at home.He will be missed godspeed victoria

Remembered fondly by Jeri and Robert Jackson, West Shores.

We have made many memories, & I´ll always remember them & cherish our time together.
This is one of my favorite pictures of us from the Christmas´s we enjoyed together. You will forever remain in my heart & you will be missed by many.
Love, Peggy

I will certainly miss Pat. We´ve both been members of Hot Springs New Horizons Band for about 8 years. Pat so enjoyed playing his trumpet and being a member of the Band. He was such a nice guy and I enjoyed getting to know him. He loved playing LOUD, and he always dressed for the performance! Sending sincere condolences to his family.

So sorry that Pat passed away...he was a great classmate and friend of many in the class of 69 at Kermit High School! He was a wonderful Christian friend, I will miss him! Love, hugs and prayers...Paula Hill Cole, Brownwood, Texas

Pat, you and I had many good times and laughs together. You will be sorely missed Brother. Love ya.

I am truly saddened by this. Patrick and I met over ten years ago at a dance. We became good friends and fellow band members, church family, and dance friends. He was always open about his relationship with Christ, his family, and life. I will truly miss him. He was special. The world was a better place for his time spent here. Heaven´s gain now.
