May the road rise to meet you,
May the wind be always at your back.
May the sun shine warm upon your face,
The rains fall soft upon your fields.
And until we meet again,
May God hold you in the palm of his hand.

I didn't realize after 6 months I could still come on here! Oh Patrick, I think of you every minute of everyday! I cry everyday because I miss and love you more than you could ever know! I talk to you all the time and go to your grave often! I would've taken your addiction for you in a heartbeat if only I could've! You were doing so wonderful for 4 years and got a great job and everything seemed perfect and I was so happy and so proud of you! Those devils came back and took you away from us! I'm sure you probably struggled everyday and I know it was hell but if only you could've fought even harder! I love you FOREVER and I'm so broken without you! I hope you are at peace and with all your loved ones RIP my beautiful, sweet, sensitive kind boy! You were my baby and ALWAYS will be! You are loved and missed by so many my beautiful boy!

I knew Patrick for a while. We met online. He was a nice person. We shared a lot in common. We had some mutual friends. He was open about his struggles but never about his addiction. I had no idea he suffered from addiction. He had a big heart, and he was sensitive. He talked a lot about his family, and he loved when I sang. He told me "One day we will be friends in real life" It didn't happen tho. We both lost touch after so many months. Life, and normal everyday things. I just found out about his death yesterday. I thought why not look up some old friends and when I did, through my searches I found out he passed. I really am sad, and bothered by this. I wish I could have said something to him before he died. I hope he didn't think we stopped talking for anything he did.

Patrick, I hope you know how much we love and miss you! So much more than I could ever say! Not having you here is beyond heartbreaking and something that I can't ever even begin to explain! I never knew a human could shed as many tears as I have for you! We loved and still love you unconditionally and wish so bad things could've ended up so different that what they did! The emptiness and loneliness without you is heart shattering! Until we meet again my beautiful, kind , shy and loving boy! Love you so, so, so much! I hope and pray you are in peace and happy my precious angel!

I do not know the Devine family but I understand their sorrow. Three years ago this month I lost my 30 year old son-my only child- to the same disease. I told the truth in my sons obituary and I am glad you did the same.I was overwhelmed with kindness when Joe died. I hope you can find some peace knowing your son is no longer suffering. Your family will be in my prayers.

Pat, I had just seen you a week prior at the gas station, and you said Hi right away. I moved from Manchester and hadn't seen you in awhile and I had actually thought about you a few times prior wondering how you were doing.. We went to school together and we're definitely good friends.. You were ALWAYS so kind not only to me but everyone you met. I'm so sad to see this news, you're pein free and at peace now, rest in paradise my friend. To Patrick's family, I'm so sorry for your loss. As you know, Patrick will be missed by many, including people who haven't even seen him in a few years like myself. He came to mind often as he was always such a friendly good hearted guy dispite his struggles. Many thoughts and prayers.

Having lost my youngest boy to Fentanyl last year each time I read the same I relive that knock on the door from the Police. But, each time unselfish, empathetic families such as the Divines make the public aware the closer we come to stopping the next tragedy. TY and to Patrick May the road rise to meet you...RIP
