George Patterson Obituary

PATTERSON A life led by integrity and faith, George Edward Patterson, Sr. will be laid to rest on Thursday, March 25, 2010 at Evergreen Cemetery. Mr. Patterson passed away Sunday, March 21, 2010, yet his legacy is entrenched in the Jacksonville community through his pioneering architectural business and the lives of countless students he inspired as a drafting teacher at William M.

He is survived by their 13 children, Angela Gryce, George Edward, Jr., Roland Fletcher, Gloria Elaine, AnthoneŽ Jerome, Jerral Wayne, Kenneth Evont, Gwendolyn Marie, Mashal Denise, Kevin LaVern, Terrance LeRon, Anecia LaShaun, Charise Delores, 33 grandchildren and 17 great grandchildren and his brother Arthur Lee Patterson of Rivera Beach, Florida. He will be remembered as an architectural pioneer, a man of impeccable character, and a loving husband and father whose life was a living example of spirituality. In lieu of flowers, please make a donation to his favorite charitable organizations: The Church of the Lord Jesus Christ of the Apostolic Faith (P. O. Box 40341, Jacksonville, FL 32203) or The Ritz Chamber Players ( www.ritzchamberplayers.org) . THERE WILL BE NO PUBLIC VIEWING.

To Gloria Elaine and The Patterson Family; oh how sadden I was to hear of the death of the great head of your family. Gloria when you made a decision to be an adoptive God-Mother to my daughters (Liza & Felicia) many years ago and you introduced them to your family - they became apart of you all; so much love was showered upon them and me. The inspiration of your parents has left a lasting impression on me.

I share in your grief and it is with great sympathy that I extend my sincere condolences and prayers for you all's strength and peace of mind in acceptance of God's will.

Remember, though he may no longer be physically present, he'll forever remain in you all's hearts.

Blessings,Love & Prayers,

Mamie
