Patrick Donatto Obituary

Our dear friend Pat passed on from this world earlier this week. For those of you who would like to say goodbye to this kind and wonderful man I know the family will be glad for your love and support.

Knowing Pat touched my life. I have special memories of sitting around my dining room table with Mary and Pat My most special memory of Pat is when Mary and Pat were the first friends to come to my house to support me when my house had been burglarized. They stayed with me for hours comforting me. I will always be grateful for the gifts of devotion and caring Pat and Mary gave to me during that challenging time.Pat's love, kindness, and being there for others was such a blessing to so very many.Love and prayers to the family as you heal from a broken heart in the loss of your Beloved Patrick.

For my Big Brother and Friend. I will Miss you. We have had a lifetime of adventures together and will again. You are my Hero and i Love you much. Always, your brother David

Ill remeber the fishing trips we went on, your laugh, and that time you broke the pin setter at the bowling alley with that monster throw of yours plus many more. You will be missed.

From all your friends love u juli n Mr b. I gave your kmother Mary statue for your parents garden on Palmer park.uhu

Pat Donatto was certainly one of my favorite cousins and like a big brother to us Gregory kids. I loved our visits to Colorado Springs as we were growing up- in particular the 1970 when Uncle Chester retired and just my dad , my brother Tim and myself. Pat turned me on to some great albums of the day (McCartney) and was fun to talk to about music and sound, as he worked at Ampex. I probably spoke the longest to Pat at my dad's services in '91 then any of my relatives. God bless you on the next plain, and our love goes out to Arlene David Chester and all the family.

To my Aunts Mary and Yolanda, Nicole & Dean, Grandpa, Mom, Uncle Dave and all of our family: We so wish we could be there to celebrate the life of Uncle Pat.
I will miss his laugh, the memory of all his fish downstairs, the time we went fishing for rainbow trout and the Bronco almost went over the side of the mountain, and when Dean busted my face with a baseball,he took me straight away to the emergency room.
He was quite a man and I will always treasure the times we had in Colorado and even if they have been less frequent as we have gotten older.
Love to you and all the Donattos

Pat you're one of the nicest people I've ever been around. You were a hard worker, but always knew how to have fun, and always kept us laughing. Any child in your vicinity was drawn to you and loved getting your attention, probably because you were a kid at heart yourself. You are irreplaceable, one of a kind, and I'm going to miss you my friend!

Pat has left a lot of beautiful memories with both of us. We feel your presence every day,hear your laugh and feel your quiet strength.

We know we will see you again and look forward to picking up where we left off.

Love Don and Annette Mertens

Uncle Pat, thanks for always taking me fishing even though I never caught a fish. I'll always remember you're patience and kindness. We will miss you terribly. Love from us all.

Condolences to the Donatto Family.

Dearest Pat through your life you touched so many people either through love or just friendship leaving us with so many memories. The deep feeling of loss and sadness that I now feel I know will ease with the memories of your kind, tender, and generous soul. the last time I signed a guestbook was at your beautiful wedding to Mary. This final book I sign again with all my love and friendship.

Uncle Pat, you lit up the world with your smile and laughter! You were one of the kindest men I know, we will miss you dearly but know that you now watch over us and we will watch over Auntie Mary! Till we meet again...

My beautiful brother, Patrick, was such a sincere and genuine person with a heart bigger than anyone I knew. He will always be the big brother who could "wow" me with all the things he was passionate about and will always be a part of me. I will look to the glorious day when we will all be together for eternity!

I light this candle in remembrance of you Patrick. Each and every day you lit up my life with your smile and quirkiness. I will terribly miss all the funny things we did together. Until we meet again. I love you with all my heart and soul.

"Blessed are the meek, for they shall inherit the earth." Matthew 5:5
The world is yours, Patrick. Thank you for modeling quiet strength, unlimited grace, and true love. You are missed and loved. Heaven is a little bit brighter today because of your presence.
