Thinking of you all during this difficult time. You are in our thoughts and prayers for peace, comfort and healing. Although Patrick has left us way too soon, please know he left a positive impression on everyone he met. He was a kind and gentle soul. I had the pleasure of sharing many good times with Patrick and Greg over the years, and will hold those memories close. He will be sorely missed. Andy & Gigi St John
You have left us way too soon. I am gonna miss you more than I can say. But I will see you again one day. I love you Brother!!
So sorry to hear this. Patrick was a wonderful person. I have great memories of attending church and school with him. Sending my condolences to the family.
Dear Mike and Sherry, Sherry and I wish you all peace and courage. I always thought of Patrick as a peaceful and kind soul. Even though I only knew him as a teenager helping at CoMMA in the early days, I still fondly recall his telling me, "I'm your man."
