Patrick Senske Obituary

May 13, 1964 - September 21, 2022 Patrick passed away from heart ailments at home in Newport Beach. He is survived by wife Lisa, 4 daughters (Hailey, Riley, Katie, and Nikki), mother Neva Senske, 7 siblings, 20+ nieces/nephews, and in-laws Martha and Jimmy Beauchamp and Hank Fohring. Patrick grew up in Long Beach, the 7th of Jack and Neva Senske's 8 children. He graduated from St. Joseph Catholic School, Wilson High, UCLA and UCLA Business School, then a successful career in finance. He excelled in all sports, especially basketball, as a star at Wilson High and one varsity year each at Rice University and Long Beach CC. Patrick married Lisa Fohring in July 1991 and they settled in Newport Beach. He was devoted to his daughters to the max - he coached and/or cheered on their sports teams for over 20 years, and remained a positive force and close confidante as they went off to college and careers. Patrick was admired and loved by all as a unique blend of smart, funny, successful, caring, principled, and humble. He will be missed and mourned beyond measure.
