To the family and friends of Pat... Pat was a school mate from 1st grade-graduation. He was one of the most determined people I have ever met. We would run into each other through the years and reminisce when we where children like it was yesterday. His life was to short but he left behind so many memories for his family and friends. Prayers for Pat's family and friends.

We all have such great memories of growing up with Pat on Lost Lake. We even have a swimming dive called "The Barney!" Pat was a good soul and a good friend and we are left with very fond memories. Please accept our deepest sympathies.

Deepest sympathy for the Barney and Kirby families. Pat fulfilled his lifelong dream of catching a "big fish" in Alaska. "Fish On", Pat.

Bill, Barb and family, so sorry to hear of Pat's passing. We have many fond memories of him especially remembering the hunting shack and the good times had there. Rest in peace Pat.

Barney Family, Monica, Kaczrouske, and Carpenter Families: Even though I never had the opportunity to meet Pat, I always heard that he was a "special guy". Obviously, he was a super fisherman. He wasn't here on Earth very long, but he made you smile and laugh. He loved you and you loved him, and that is all that counts. My thoughts and prayers are with you during this difficult time. May God's Peace and Guidance surround you always.

Love Always, Bonnie Semrau-Gerrits, Dan, Matt, Maria, Mairee Gerrits

Patrick was someone special I "met" just out of high school. Who jumped in with both feet and lived life to its fullest. Hope all his aches and pains are just happy memories now!
