Patrick HAMILL Obituary
Patrick was born to Grace L. Tinsley on February 21, 1945, he was adopted out shortly after birth to George & Louise Hamill. He was a history buff and loved all things military. After graduating from Shadle Park High School he joined the Navy. He was in Vietnam and after Vietnam he went on 2 deployments on board the USS Bennington and the USS Hancock, after the Navy, he married Carol J. Hamill and attended Eastern Washington University and thus becoming a Respiratory Therapist. He had three children with Carol: Shawn, Michelle, and Kristy. He divorced Carol, then met the love of his life Sandi Hamill and married her on March 21, 1976, they then adopted his fourth child Chelsea in 1990. Patrick and Sandi parted in 1992 and remained very close friends. He worked for St. Elizabeth's in Yakima, WA as a Respiratory Therapist for over 35 years, during this time he also was a Medic in the Reserves for over 5 years, and he was called to Desert Storm.
Aside from his love for history and the military, he was one of a kind! His personality was such to where you never knew what he was going to say and was always surprised, he also had an amazing heart of gold and as a fault, he was an extremely generous man! He will truly be missed!
