Patrick attended Corpus Christi and Fairport schools. He enjoyed the outdoors; camping, fishing and swimming in his younger years. Later adding target shooting at his brother’s camp to his list of outdoor activities. He loved animals, especially his dogs. Pat was a great craftsman and carpenter who took pride in his work. He worked in the industry for many years. He was always willing to lend a hand and always looking for a new adventure. He had a great laugh and sense of humor. He was a caring father. He was the fun uncle. At times, he was a slick one. When the game was over, he would be holding the most quarters. He enjoyed a good movie, especially comedies and suspenseful thrillers. You often found him with a cup of coffee in his hand or enjoying a piece of hard candy. Patrick was a good spirit, full of character and full of a belief in God, a God personal to him. For the things he loved and those he loved, a kid at heart always, a beautiful soul, best bud. God bless my brother Patrick. Very much loved, our Patty-kin will be greatly missed.
