Born November 24, 1971, in Cortland, New York, he was a beloved son of Barbara (Rathbun) Torrey and Edward Torrey.

In his free time, he enjoyed spending time with his family, friends, and two dogs. Patrick could often be found serving the community as a dedicated member of New Life Church, coaching baseball, watching football, dirt track racing, fishing, or traveling anywhere at any time with his beloved wife, Elesa. He will be remembered as a man who loved the Lord, and who loved others like Jesus. Patrick gave his all in all areas of life, and he did it all for the glory of God.
