Patrick Bourke Obituary

Patrick Bourke, 78, of Baltimore, MD, passed away on July 20, 2025, in the Keswick Multi-Care Center due to complications from a series of strokes. Born on July 17, 1947, in Herminie, Patrick grew up the third son of John and Mary Bourke, and the brother of Edward, Thomas, John, and James. He loved playing football for Sewickley Area High School, singing, and dancing. He served in the U.S. Army and went to Vietnam in 1968. He was awarded the Bronze Star for his service with MACV in Vietnam. Upon returning from the war, he attended Kent State University and the University of Maryland. For most of his work life, he was a mechanical designer. He worked on projects with the Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, MD. He was especially proud of his work designing parts for the Hubble Space Telescope. Besides his technical career, Patrick (aka "Stoney") was a rock musician in the Washington and Baltimore music scene. He had a recording contract and played live gigs for about 30 years. He had a great stage presence and many fans, and the girls loved him. Patrick is survived by his two children, Steffanie Gwen and Ryan Bourke. He is also survived by his brothers, Thomas and John. Patrick will be buried in the Veterans Cemetery in Baltimore, MD. All services will be private.

Pat was one handsome man. I had a crush on him as did I'm sure many of the other girls. A great dancer, singer. So sad to hear of the many complications he had. Rest in peace Pat. No more pain.
