Patrick Christopher Donaghy Jr. Memorial Fund
Donation protected
MHS 1987 was one of the most amazing class of students ever to graduate from Morristown, NJ. We were blessed and honored to have the opportunity to know and love Patrick "Pat" Donaghy" Jr. Some referred to him a classmate, but most of us called him friend.
Emulating the cliche "to know Pat was to love Pat", still falls short of his kind heart and warm nature. Not many can walk and leave this Earth where most, if not all, can say they loved them. Pat was rare, but he was never puffed up and one who was charismatic, empathetic, responsive, engaging and approachable. His level of love and compassion for those around him, forced us to check our own moral compasses, as he was True North.
Diagnosed with ALS in October 2012, for over 6 years Pat fought hard to overcome its devastating effects on the body. When he shared the news and wanted to support him, he turns around and encouraged us instead.
He married the love of his life Tikky which makes perfect sense for him to marry an angel. He proudly would tell people "she married me despite my diagnosis", and would remain by his side throughout the victories and challenges.
The MHS Class of 1987 would like raise money in honor of our hero Pat. Proceeds will go to present a class gift at Pat's memorial services with details to be provided by his family at a later date. The remainder of the proceeds will go to his wife Tikky, who has been his rock, and blessed us to have Pat just a little bit longer.
Pat we love you, but God loved you more -- rest easy our friend, rest easy.
