Percy Ray Patrick

Rev. Percy Ray Patrick, Pastor of the Shiloh Missionary Baptist Church was born on November
11, 1957, in Forest Mississippi to Lizzy Mae Patrick and JC Patrick. Pastor Patrick attended
Banning High School where he met Beatrice Davis and graduated in 1976. He and Beatrice
married in 1978 and had five children.
Pastor Patrick went on to attend Mt. San Jacinto College, a series of seminary classes, obtained
multiple certifications for religious studies, leadership, and chaplain services, all while working
at highland springs resort where he climbed the latter in the kitchen for over 20 years. Pastor
Patrick started as a dishwasher, then prep cook, line cook, sous chef, then ultimately became
chef. He was very proud of his accomplishments in the kitchen and often used those skills as
references when delivering the gospel.
Pastor Patrick loved to have fun and joke with everyone. He could make friends at the grocery
store or even the DMV. You couldn't help but have a smile on your face while around him. He
had a way of making your worst day, the best day one could have. He was extremely loving,
forgiving, generous, and would open his door to anyone in need.
During his youth Pastor Patrick was a member of Shiloh Baptist Church, however, later became
a member of First Missionary while living with his sister Louise Anderson. However, in 1979
Percy and his wife Beatrice welcomed their first-born son who was born prematurely. Doctors
said their son would not live through the night. BUT Percy had a conversation with God that
night and he gave God a commitment that if he saved his son, he would dedicate his life to the
ongoing of the Kingdom and submit to the calling that had been put on his life to preach the
Gospel.
Pastor Patrick returned as a member at Shiloh where he served under the direction of Pastor
George Armstrong as an Usher. Then under the direction of Pastor Archie Hicks, Percy became
ordained as a Deacon in 1983, also under the direction of Pastor Hicks, he became licensed then
ordained with the Valley District Association as a Minister. Pastor Patick worked as a chaplain at
San Gorgonio Memorial Hospital for 10 years, performed countless weddings, funerals,
counseling sessions, communion to nursing homes as well as the sick and shut ins. He also was a
part of the "Pastors on campus" program with Banning Unified School District. Pastor Patrick
was a very simple man and felt the Shepard should never live above the means of the people.
This being said, other than a Pepsi, Pastor Patrick would never accept payment, all donations for
any service he provided for Gods people were given back to the church.
Pastor Patrick Proudly served the Banning community and Shiloh Baptist until he succumbed to
his illnesses on October 12, 2025. He was surrounded at home by his Wife, Children, and close
family members until his call to glory.
Pastor Patrick was survived by his Wife Beatrice Patrck, His Children Michael Patrick, Elizabeth
Mahan, Jennifer Williams, Percy Patrick Jr., and Alisa Rae Patrick. Pastor Patrick helped raise
nieces and nephews that he calls sons and daughters; Lilian Patrick, Daven Sanchez, Jessica
Sanchez, Antwonette Itric, and Demetrius Patrick, just to name a few. Pastor Patrick also has 14
grandchildren and counting. He was also survived by siblings Shirley Patrick, Canary Patrick,

Pearly Patrick, Lonzie Patrick, Lee L Patrick, Loise Anderson, Balinda Lois Patrick, Willie Earl
Patrick, Ethel Mae Patrick, J.L. Patrick, Howard Gene Patrick and a host of other family

Pastor Patrick was a staple in the Banning Community and touched the lives of many. He will
truly be missed. Pastor Patrick closed every service with one of his favorite scriptures John 9:4
I must work the works of Him who sent me,
While it is day.
For The night cometh,
When no man can work.
John 9:4
