Sellers. When I think of that name I think of toughness, hard working, family, strong willed, and the kind that would give their shirt off their back. Pat lived up to that family name and then some. It has been a long time since I've seen Pat. Too long really. Sadly, sometimes life just gets in the way and time goes by way too fast. Pat and I had a great friendship in high school. We played football and baseball together. What I would give for one more catch with you Pat, one more game, just one more conversation. You were one of the great ones my friend. Always will be. I will miss that big smile of yours and that loud chuckle. Atta boy Sells!! Until we meet again brother. Prayers for the entire Sellers family. God Bless!

My condolences to the Sellers family. I have fond memories being in class and joking around also playing sports with or against Pat from 5th grade to H.S. He was the shortest guy that could dunk a basketball!!

Sellers family - thank you for sharing Pat’s wonderful, kind spirit with us for 47 years. I have fond memories on the baseball diamond with Pat, who, despite his competitive drive and wii to win, never put a teammate down. May the coming days be filled with much laughter and smiles as you celebrate Pat’s life, and that you will be comforted knowing this is not goodbye, rather farewell for now.

Pat was a "little kid" to me growing up. Our Dads worked at the Road Commission, all of us kids went to school our whole lives together. We spent a lot of time together, not only our families, but lots of others. When I think of Pat, I think of that little kid trying to keep up with us big kids (really he was chasing his brothers, his heroes). Many years have passed since then, my heart will always remember Pat. Prayers to the whole family.

Praying for Dianne and her family to have strength and comfort knowing that Patrick is at peace. I used to work with Dianne at the State Home many years ago and know how proud she was of her boys.

Oh man, tough news for family and friends. Pat, your a good friend from grade school and junior high. I have many great memories of fun times growing up and going to school. I guess that’s what they call the good old days. Your older brothers sure had an impact on you growing up. I remember you were so proud of them. They certainly taught you a thing or two which showed in sports and with the ladies. You were a good friend to me and I regret not catching up after my family moved away. I’ll always have the memories from MR. Rose’s class, doing push-ups while other were at recess. Not because we were trouble makers but we were two strong headed boys, living a little more fun than the rest. Thoughts of healing to your friends and family. To early to say good bye old friend.

Dad
I know that I'm not your blood daughter, but that's okay. Your not my real dad but that's okay. You were the only father figure I have ever had in my life. You are my best friend. When you first came into my life I was hesitant, but now all I want is to go back to the first day i met you. Thank you for taking care of me, my sister and my mom. You are the best dad anyone could ask for. I will never forget my hunting buddy, my best friend and overall my dad that stepped up. I love you so much Dad. Until we meet again Burt. I love you.

Pat,
I am beyond heartbroken that you are gone. You took care of my mom and sisters and considered us kids as your own as well. I wish there would have been more time with you. You are that dad that I never had before. I know that we are all sad that you are gone but I know that you will be looking out for us. I miss you so much already. Weather it be your laughs or jokes or just being silly. I miss it all Pat. But one day we will all be together again and we will drink a beer. Fly high Dad! I love and miss you.
