Hood, TX and Camp Humphreys, South Korea. He lived in Myrtle Beach, SC for many years before settling in Grand Bayou, Louisiana where he met the love of his life. One could not possibly describe Patrick in one paragraph. His personality was bigger than life itself. He was as loving as he was loud, which was really loud. Facts.. He loved his animals like his children and treated them as such. He loved his sports, especially Ohio State, and was the only person that could argue with the refs and then make friends with them after the game. "Bad call Blue!" Patrick thought St. Patrick's Day was named after him and would argue with you if you said otherwise. He could argue about anything. Also facts.. To know him was literally to love him. Selfless, kind, gentle, fighter, strong, beautiful, courageous, brave, giver, fearless, sweet soul. You could always depend on Patrick, he was that guy, that friend, the one you knew would be there. Lastly, he loved his family, friends, children and his wife passionately. His heart was simply too big for this world. God needed him more.
