He became an integral part of the neighborhood, known for his compassionate nature and willingness to lend a helping hand whenever needed. His presence brought a sense of unity and camaraderie to those around him, making Barstow feel like an even more vibrant and close-knit community.

His commitment to upholding principles of fairness, integrity, and excellence made him a respected figure within the organization and a role model for all who worked alongside him. In addition to his dedicated service to his country and community, Patrick’s love for muscle cars was a true passion that brought him immense joy and fulfillment. His expertise in automotive craftsmanship and his enthusiasm for restoring classic vehicles were evident in every project he undertook, captivating the admiration of fellow enthusiasts and igniting a shared passion for all things automotive. Patrick's boundless generosity, unwavering dedication to his family, and the profound impact he left on the community through his acts of kindness and service will forever be cherished and remembered. His legacy as a devoted serviceman, loving family man, and friend to all, will continue to inspire others to follow in his footsteps and make a positive difference in the lives we will continue to live. Don’t grieve for me for now I am Free. I am following the path God laid for me. I took his hand when I heard him call; I turned my back and left it all. I could not stay another day, to laugh, to love, to work, or play. Tasks left undone must stay that way; I found that place at the close of day. If my parting has left a void, then fill it with remembered joy. A friendship shared, a laugh, a kiss; ah yes, these things, I too will miss. Be not burdened with times of sorrow, I wish you the sunshine of tomorrow. My life has been full, I savored much, good friends, good times, a loved one’s touch. Perhaps my time seems all too brief; don’t lengthen it now with undue grief. Lift up your heart and share with me, God wanted me now, He has set me free. 1328431
