I'm so sorry for the lost of Patrick. I knew him as Johnny. What a cutie he was and so sweet. I grow up down the street one of the neighborhood kids. I didn't know that he had passed when he did. God bless <3

Brother,
You are glowing bright in our hearts always. Your memory keeps us light with joy and laughter. We know you are with God. You earned your wings. We continue the fight and journey to find a cure in your memory and in the way of Jesus. We love you.

A Poem for Patrick
A flash of giggles,
You came into my life,
Always curious dragging Teddy along with you,
You wanted to be tough,
Playing football, target practice,
You were patriotic,
Standing for your country as a Marine, a Soldier,
A man of family,
You started your own,
Honoring your wife,
And soon a son,
Always faithful to your Irish roots,
You fought the good fight,
For our freedom, a cause, and eventually your life,
Valiantly you were always my brother,
My Patrick, my friend.

To my parents, Trish, John, and Edie, and your families, and our huge family,

We band together in times of trouble and celebration. Our family is the best. Thank you for always being there. Patrick will be greatly missed by so many. He is part of us always.
To Amy and Jerry, please know we are here for you always. Patrick loved and cherished you very much.
We love you all so much.
May Patrick rest in peace.

Patrick, although we had never met, I can tell by all the wonderful stories that Trish has told about you that you were an amazing man. It's awful that you had to suffer as much as you did, but God has better plans for you now, and you are cradled in His arms with love and care. You inspired a lot of people here on earth, and will continue to do so up in the heavens. May your pain be gone, and your light shine on forever. Peace be with you at last, and may God bless you eternally.
