Bring Uncle Pat Home

We are heart broken and truly devasted at the sudden passing or our beloved brother, son, friend, and uncle, Patrick Thompson. He was a true ray of sunshine to everyone he met. We always said he never met a stranger, and it was true—he genuinely loved people, and that love was always returned. Pat was a hero to his nieces and nephews, making each of them feel like the most important person in the world. His ability to connect with others meant his loss is felt deeply by so many. We will miss our "Orange Sher-bert" every single day. While our hearts are heavy, we find comfort knowing that Mama Jill was up in heaven, waiting with open arms, to welcome our Uncle Pat with a big hug.

Pat passed away in Colombia, a place he truly loved and a place he was starting the next chapter of his life. We are raising funds to bring him home and cover his funeral expenses to give him a fond farewell. Repatriating him is a long and complicated process; we will keep everyone updated on when services will be held.
