Patrick McCarville Obituary
Patrick was born on March 21, 1993 and was from that moment, a source of immense joy and pride for his parents Thomas and Gemina McCarville.
Patrick grew up in San Francisco where he attended St. Vincent de Paul and Stuart Hall High School before leaving for college on the East Coast. At college he made many new friends, including a special young lady, Finola Barry.
Patrick enjoyed best simply hanging out with friends and family, young and old, telling stories or reviewing comedy. All the better if it was over a juicy steak or burger. His joyful spirit was contagious and ingratiating.
Patrick has gone now to rest in peace with God. He will be dearly missed by his parents, by Finola, by his grandfather, Giuseppe DiBiase and by all of his aunts, uncles, cousins and friends.
A Memorial Mass to celebrate Patrick's life will be held at St. Vincent de Paul Church in San Francisco on Saturday, March 14 at 12:00. Reception to follow in the parish hall.
Donations may be made to Stuart Hall High School where Patrick was truly inspired.

Patrick was a warm and friendly boy who consistently wore a smile during his years at Saint Vincent de Paul School. He was a generous soul who was truly kind to others. Patrick was very fortunate to have two highly motivated parents, who loved him, were dedicated to him, and did everything they could to enrich his life in every way possible. I am so very sorry for your loss. May God bless Patrick, his friends, and family with peace and solace.

A true gentle giant not just in body, but in spirit! Patrick brought a smile to my face everyday he was on the diamond as a player at The Hall. His enthusiasm and willingness made coaching him a pleasure. He put the needs of the team before his own, and always wore an endearing smile. He will be missed here by all who knew him, but God now has a star on his roster!

The first time we saw Patrick was when he was playing basketball for SVdP. Our boys were shaking in their boots when they saw this tall kid come onto the court. We kept hearing cheers for Patrick from unknown voices, and realized we didn't have the only Patrick on the court! Then the boys ended up together at SHHS and became fast friends. A trip to The Rez provided years of chuckles over Pat Mc digging a hole so deep he needed to be pulled out. He bonded with our little white puppy and whenever he visited she would be sitting in his lap. His graduation speech was the culmination of his sweet and humorous style and sent all the boys off to college with a warm feeling. He will be so badly missed, our hearts go out to his family as well as our thanks for sharing their wonderful son with us.
