I served in the USAF with PA. When we got back he invited me to deer hunt with him on land south of Selma. I got my first and only buck that day. The trip back to Montgomery was eventful to say the least. PA was so gracious and fun to share a very special day.
Rest In Peace my friend.
Rest In Peace my friend.

The best part of planning our 30th class reunion was reconnecting with Pat. He couldn’t attend but our friendship grew. I enjoyed football season watching our “Crimson Tide” and texting back and forth with Pat and classmate Bobby Carter. I cheered for Pat when he played football for our high school and continued to cheer him on during his courageous battle. He fought hard and his faith never waiver. Pat loved God and his main concern was the happiness of his family. He is walking streets of gold and in no more pain. Love you buddy until we
Meet again Roll Tide

Pat you will surely be missed but always remembered! You always had that million dollar smile and was and forever be a friend to all. You were healed on Valentines Day and I believe you entered the gates of heaven. Praying for peace and comforting love for all your family and friends that can only come from the Grace of God! Until we all gather again!
