I was so sad to hear of Patrick's passing. I just could not believe such a vibrant, and loving soul was gone so soon. I was caught up in my daughter's cancer fight at the time, and somehow no one let me know he'd left us... Patrick was a lovely human being, and he will be sorely missed by all who knew him.

I can not believe Patrick is gone. He hired me right out of real estate school and we had an absolute blast. Patrick and I went to Amsterdam to see the Rolling Stones together. It was non-stop fun for almost a week. We also traveled many other places and he was the best travel buddy ever! Las Vegas (NV not NM, ha) also brings back fond memories. We followed each other to a couple of real estate companies and tore it up. I will forever miss my buddy.

What a wonderful man. Patrick was able to help me a single mom with two daughters to buy our first house. When 15 years passed, and it was time to buy a house for me and my husband... Patrick was there for us again. He has been part of our family. I'm saddened to no longer hear his laugh, and thank God for our journeys to cross. Blessings to the family.

My heart hurts that Patrick´s light has gone. He and I were such special friends when I was a student at Adams State. We would spend plenty of time on the phone, laughing and carrying on when I should have been studying. I miss his voice and laughter so.
