On May 21, 1988, he was joined in Holy matrimony that was ordained by God, to ShaeSharon

he remained a faithful member through multiple city relocations. He served as a chairman of
the deacon board and deacon totaling over 30 years. He absolutely loved his Church Family. He
had a special love of the male choir and church community; among the many boards and
auxiliaries. Patrick spent most of his time with the Deacon Board and the male choir. You could
always find him on the last row of the deacon pew. Most of all, his love for Christ he
demonstrated to all.
Patrick was employed for 40 years with Mississippi Power from the age of 18 until his death at
the age of 59. At Mississippi Power, he led storm response teams, served as aerial manager for

His hobbies included: watching sci-fi, action and thriller movies, rooting for the Raiders and
being a rollercoaster and theme park enthusiast. Most of all an avid MS State fan, which rivaled
his wife's alma mater of Ole Miss. This always made Thanksgiving interesting depending on who
won the Egg Bowl. He also enjoyed planning taking church trips, family vacations, driving to
vacation spots and enjoying the scenery. His favorite food was chitterlings. All though we
cannot see him, we can rest assured that he is now in his Heavenly Home with our Father God.
