Patrick E. Galster

Patrick Evan Galster, age 35 of Bolton, passed away on August 2, 2025, following a sudden illness. Born in New Britain on January 12th, 1990, he was the beloved son of Maribeth Blaney-Galster and the late Dr. Eric Galster. Patrick was a lifelong resident of Bolton and attended Bolton Public Schools. He was currently passionate about building his real estate career as a Disposition Manager. Patrick was an incredibly talented, accomplished, and decorated motocross competitor whose love of riding and fixing up dirt bikes began at the age of 10. Through his success in the sport, his family was able to travel the East Coast, following his numerous championships. His natural athletic talent allowed him to enjoy other sports such as skateboarding and snowboarding. Patrick's work alongside his father as a veterinary technician deepened his love for animals as well as his passion for making people laugh. Patrick is survived by his mother, Maribeth Blaney-Galster, as well as his older brothers, Jason and Blaine Galster, and his younger brother, Lucas Galster. His brothers fondly remember playing in the creek beside their house, building snow forts, and fixing machines big and small together. He is survived by his nieces, Roselise and Raelynn Galster, who remember their Uncle Pat for his love of spoiling them with gifts and his never-ending playful spirit. He is also survived by his sisters-in-law, Elizabeth, Page, and Samantha Galster, as well as his aunts, Charlotte Black and Judith Rumsey, and his friends, who will miss him dearly. He is reunited with his beloved pets KC, Lucky, and Nala, his father Eric, and friends.
