Together, they nurtured their five children: Shaunna, Ryleigh, Tyler, Ryder, and Abel. His dedication to his family was evident in everything he did, and he cherished every moment spent with them.

A man of diverse interests, Patrick had a vibrant spirit that shone through in his hobbies. He enjoyed basketball and football, often sharing his passion for these sports with his loved ones.

Patrick's spirit will live on through the enduring love he fostered within his family. His legacy of dedication, love, and joy will continue to inspire all who were fortunate enough to have known him.

Patrick was high on life. He never met a stranger. He always kept a smile on his face and would give the shirt off his back to anyone in need. The love he had for his children was unmatched. He was a loyal friend, son, brother, and husband. Any hobby he took interest in, he perfected. His laugh was contagious. He will forever be loved and missed. There will never be another “Pat Pat”.
