In life there are many heroes, but among all the heroes this world has ever had, there’s not one that we admired more than our precious Daddy–Pat to his friends. He was heroic in his quiet strength and in his caring ways…a man of integrity. We will miss his quick wit…he was a good story teller and loved to rhyme. Most of all he loved his family. We celebrate his life and take comfort in knowing we will see him again.
The family will receive friends from 1-2 p.m. Sunday, September 13, 2020 at Locklear & Son Funeral Home.
