Patrick Summers Obituary

Obituary published on Legacy.com by Jansen Family Funeral Home & Cremation Services on Feb. 23, 2026.
Patrick Houston Summers, a cherished soul known for his loving nature and friendly demeanor, passed away peacefully on February 20, 2026, in Lapeer, Michigan. Born on December 23, 1966, in Flint, Michigan, Patrick's life was a testament to the joy and warmth he brought into the lives of those around him.

Patrick was a dedicated worker who spent 22 years at Elite Cleaning Room Services in Lapeer. His colleagues were not just coworkers but a second family to him, a bond that was evident in the camaraderie and respect they shared. He took pride in his work and was a valued member of the team, always ready to lend a hand or share a laugh.

Beyond his professional life, Patrick was a true sports enthusiast. He found joy in watching the Detroit Tigers and cheering for the University of Michigan football team. His competitive spirit shone through in his love for playing pool and bowling, where he not only enjoyed the games but also the fellowship and friendly rivalry with his opponents.

Patrick's love of music was undeniable. His home was often filled with the sounds of a variety of tunes emanating from his big home speakers. Whether it was a rock anthem or a soulful ballad, Patrick's eclectic taste in music was a reflection of his open and embracing personality.

A social butterfly, Patrick had a wide circle of friends who were drawn to his kind and approachable nature. He was the life of many gatherings, often found at cookouts and concerts, sharing stories and creating memories that his friends will cherish forever.

Family was the cornerstone of Patrick's life. He is survived by his loving sisters, Tawney Summers, Kim Sevenski, and Charise Summers, as well as many adoring nieces and nephews who will miss his playful spirit and unwavering support. His special girlfriend, Sherry, and his beloved dog, Princess, were sources of immense joy and companionship. Patrick was preceded in death by his parents, Thomas and Virginia (Hopkins) Summers, his brother Troy, and brother-in-law Bill. Each of them held a special place in his heart, and their influence on his life was profound.

Patrick's legacy is one of love, kindness, and friendship. He touched the lives of many with his generous spirit and will be deeply missed by all who had the pleasure of knowing him.

Cremation has taken place, a celebration of life in honor of Patrick will be announced at a later date. Arrangements entrusted to Jansen Family Funeral Home – Columbiaville. Share memories, condolences, and pictures with the family at www.jansenfuneralhome.com.
