Please know that just as your loved one remains in your hearts and minds; his sacrifice, and that of your family, remains with the people he died defending. Words cannot express the gratitude we feel for his bravery and selflessness, or the heartache we feel for your loss. God bless and keep you always.

Pat,

It really is hard to believe that you are gone. I loved how funny you were and how happy you always were. I remember you and Ryan always hanging out in high school and doing all those things that teenage boys do. You were just always smiling. God does take the good ones way to early. You will never be forgotten!

May 28, 2008

You are remembered and respected. Thank you Pfc Tinnell!

In Memory of Patrick ( Debra Estep )

April 19, 2008

Holding you all in my thoughts and prayers today.


The Wind on The Downs

“I like to think of you as brown and tall,
As strong and living as you used to be,
In khaki tunic, Sam Brown belt and all,
And standing there and laughing down at me.
Because they tell me, dear, that you are dead,
Because I can no longer see your face,
You have not died, it is not true, instead
You seek adventure in some other place.
That you are round about me, I believe;
I hear you laughing as you used to do,
Yet loving all the things I think of you;
And knowing you are happy, should I grieve?
You follow and are watchful where I go.”

(Written by Marian Allen during World War l )

Two lines that I wish you to keep near your heart…….

“You seek adventure in some other place.
That you are round about me, I believe”

I did not know Patrick but I am remembering on
this day he gave his all.
He is my hero.

Sincerely,

Deb Estep ~ Ohio

I knew pat for the good person and soldier he was. i went through basic training with him and went to the same bat. Pat was a great soldier dedicated to his mission i will never forget the sacrfice he gave for his country. See you later pat.

August 8, 2007

There is nothing that I can say or do to take away the pain or bring you peace in your time of sorrow, but I will offer your family my heart felt condolences. I also offer you my prayers that in time the pain will easy and the memories of your HERO will carry you through each day and night. I want to thank your HERO, for his/her selfless act of becoming a member of the armed forces, his/her willingness to defend the United States of America, all that we hold sacred and for the sacrifice that will forever be etched in the memories of all those who knew him/her. Though tears can never bring him/her back, we hope that our tears express our gratitude for the sacrifice that he/she made and our sorrow at his/her passing. I believe for every fallen HERO there is a star shining brightly up above to remind us of the precious gift we were given.

Your mission on earth is complete and you are now a member of GOD’s Heavenly armed forces. Stand down brave warrior and take your rightful place in Heaven with all the HEROES who have passed before.

I made a special promise to LE RON A. WILSON (KIA on 07/06/07) on the day he was laid to rest as I touched his coffin, that I would never forget him nor would I forget those that gave their lives for our country before him, with him and after him and so when I came across www.legacy.com, I thought what a great way to keep my promise to Le Ron, so I will continue to leave tributes in each guest book until the day there is no longer the need to leave these tributes to a FALLEN HERO.

REST IN PEACE, HERO, YOU WILL NEVER BE FORGOTTEN!!

To the family of Patrick,

Jennifer and I apologize, we made an error. Andy only met Patrick in Iraq. Its amazing how close and connected the 2 became in such a short time. Our thoughts and prayers are always with our son, our family here, your family and Patrick.

To the family of Patrick-

I just wanted to say what a wonderful soldier and a a wonderful person Patrick was. My brother-Andrew Jechorek- was Patricks best friend in Ft. Campbell and in Iraq. He made my brothers days better and they helped each other through alot. I am glad my brother had a friend as great at Patrick. He will always hold a special place in Andy's heart and our hearts. God bless him because he certainly deserves it.

To the Family of Patrick,

I hadn't yet met Patrick, but was my son's best friend, in Ft.Campbell and in Iraq. They had talked about plans after their tour and almost seemed like brothers. I know he will be sadly and deeply missed by my son, but NEVER forgotten as my son will always carry him in his heart. Someday you may meet my son as he plans to travel down to see Patrick's stomping grounds and if you meet him, know that my son was with your son comforting him to the very end and shall never forget the greatness of their Friendship.

It will be hard, but carry your head high and know that Patrick was special. God Bless.

To the Family of Spc. Patrick A. Tinnell:

My heart breaks again as I sign yet another guest book of another courgeous young soldier who gave their life so selflessly. I wish I never found myself in a position to have to sign another guestbook for the rest of my life. We lost a son 12/1/05.

I know first hand there are no words right now that will bring you the comfort and peace you need. Just know that you are not alone. My heart, thoughts, and prayers are with you all as you mourn this loss. We don't know each other, will probably never meet, but will forever be united in the loss of our Heroes. We have, unfortunately joined a group none of us wanted to join, an ever-growing group of families in this situation. May God grant you peace and strength to get through this and be able once again to smile at a memory rather than have only the tears that flow so easily now. To be so proud of your loved one and so saddened at the same time is a mix of emotions very difficult to deal with. I am sorry that I never knew your soldier personally, but none of these courageous men and women will be forgotten. They will never be able to be replaced, but sometime, someday your loving memories will help to sustain you. This courageous soldier will forever now be your Angel watching over you all for the rest of your lives. It's what brings me some measure of peace and comfort and I hope it will you as well. To his family and friends in pain, I offer this comfort. When you find yourself in that dark sorrowful place, think not only of how you will miss him, but instead recall the years, days, hours and minutes gifted to you by his presence. If you ever want to talk, I'm only an e:mail away and would love for you to tell me more about your Hero. God Bless this courageous soldier and family.
