The most friend man I have ever met since I return to Texas. This man worked on my motorcycles and lawn mowers and each time it was perfection and if not he always corrected it right away which was very rare. My heart goes out to his family because I have lost a true friend thru our various conversations
. He will be missed by me and my family and may God Bless him.

I will always hold Pat dear to my heart...I am grateful for the all the times I was blessed to spend around him..weather back in the day hanging out riding four wheelers with Bri, or just stopping by after work to just say hi..those memories are forever etched in my heart..Pat was always there for me when I needed him and was a one of a kind friend to many..when my own dad Billy had passed, I remember sitting, visiting with him a few weeks after and he truly had a way to explain things in a different perspective..and I walked out of that conversation with more positive thoughts than I had allowed myself coming into it...He was one of my dearest friends..he and his girls I love tremendously..I can see a lot of his influence in both you girls..no doubt he is super proud of you both..Im truly sorry for the hole left in your lives..and Im truly honored you are both in my life..growing up, I felt just like family with you two and your dad and mom..my heart breaks for yall..all my love to you ladies and prayers for the entire family and all who knew and loved Pat..I will certainly miss him..

Tommy and Carolyn,
My sister, Sue, called to tell me about Patrick. I wish our Rosebud- Lott Class of 1973 could have gotten around to a reunion. I would have loved to have seen him. Pat was always friendly to everyone. I can't exactly remember the details of how he managed to invite his classmates to hear his brother's band play at a dance at the D. Brown Library in Rosebud. Those were fun times. My sympathies to all the family.

Can't believe we won't see that smiling face on this earth anymore. But I will be looking forward to it when I get to heaven. I loved my Uncle Pat dearly and now wish I would have spent more time with him. He will surely be missed by so many. He was such a blessing to all.

I first met Pat at his motorcycle shop about 5 years ago. With a motorcycle, 4-wheeler, and UTV and 3 kids who always kept them in need of repair, I was a regular customer of Pat's. It didn't take long before I was more than a customer; Pat and I quickly became friends. No matter how busy he was, my stops at his shop always resulted in long conversations. Pat was a great mechanic, but I'll forever remember his kind and gentle spirit. He will be greatly missed. I am praying for God's peace and comfort to rest over his family. Jimmy Hering
