Patrick Mungavin Obituary

Mungavin, Patrick Pat Joseph 71, passed away peacefully, Sunday, November 15, 2015. He is survived by his beloved wife Joan, children Colleen, Jennifer (Joshua) and Eddie (Ashley). He adored his grandchildren, Patrick PJ, Poppy, Teddy, Ellie, Macklin, and his dog and buddy Jack. Brother of Jack (Eileen); son-in-law Bernice Chierek. Other relatives survive. Pat was a retired influential automotive professional and the fourth child born of Irish immigrants, the late Theresa and Anthony Mungavin, in Worcester, Massachusetts. He grew up in Brooklyn, NY before moving to the St. Louis region. He graduated from Cahokia High School in Cahokia, Illinois. Lived most of his life in St. Louis County. Pat embraced all the great things life had to offer, a good cigar and a 75 degree St. Louis day on the patio listening to a Cardinals game followed by BBQ was a day well spent. He will be loved and missed by many. Private memorial.

It was with deepest sorrow that I learned of Pat's passing. My late husband, Ed and I shared many years and many memories with Pat. I feel sure that while we who are left behind will miss Pat that Ed will be smiling and welcoming a dear friend with warmth.

In My Pocket

I have memories in my pocket.
They rattle among the change.

My memories of you are treasures I carry wherever I go.

They are stored in bits and pieces, parts of a beautiful whole
They give me comfort when I think I am alone.

Yes, I have memories in my pocket, like so much other stuff I keep there.

But of all the treasures I have, it's the memories of you that are the most precious.

It was my pleasure to work with Patrick for about 20 years with a local Ford dealer. I also knew him thru our Elks Lodge. RIP Pat.

Pat and I go back prior to 1974. He was very influential in my career in auto industry. We were in touch over the years and always knew where the other one was. Words cannot express my feelings of loss.
