    Patrick Patterson will always be remembered for the warmth he carried with him everywhere he went. His infectious smile had a way of lifting others, and his kindness left a lasting impression on everyone fortunate enough to know him. Above all, Patrick deeply loved his children and grandchildren, and that love was evident in the way he spoke about them and showed up for them. After the loss of his beloved wife, Penny, Patrick worked hard to keep moving forward, showing strength and resilience during one of the most difficult seasons of his life. Though his passing on Sunday was sudden and deeply painful, the impact he made through his kindness, his spirit, and the way he treated others will not be forgotten. He will be terribly missed by all who knew and loved him.
