He was a huge Elvis nut and loved listening to his music and even owned an authentic jumpsuit. Patrick was an avid Packer fan and was very keen on Packer Statistics from games through the years to even the plays that were run~ he was the ultimate arm chair coach! He liked many players but his idol was the “gun slinger” Brett Favre. Patrick loved all kinds of sports.

The family would like you to remember Patrick for not how he died, but for who he was and the heart he had. Even though it was an untimely death, Patrick selflessly donated his heart, both lungs and kidneys, which will allow 4 organ recipients and their families a second chance at life, to make a difference. A special note of appreciation to the staffs of U.W.
