Donations for Patrick Goward's Family

My name is David Cline-Goward and I am creating this GoFundMe on behalf of Kathleen Goward and their two girls.

On Monday November 20th, we lost Patrick Goward unexpectedly. Dealing with his loss is hard enough without the expenses that come with having to bury their husband/father and losing an essential family member. This GoFundMe is to raise money for the funeral expenses and to help Kathleen and her two daughters with the uncertain future expenses.

Patrick S. Goward was born to Matthew and Janet Goward in Riverside, California, in 1992. After graduation from Mountain View High School in Stafford, Virginia, and inspired by his parents’ Military service, he enlisted in the United States Air Force in 2014. Patrick served as an F-22/A mechanic, specializing in aircraft crash and recovery at Tyndall AFB, Florida, achieving the rank of Staff Sergeant.

Following his military service, Patrick worked as an aircraft mechanic for Dassault Falcon aviation in New Castle Delaware. Seeking continued professional development, Patrick dedicated the remainder of his career to public safety, working as a signalman for Diamondback Signal Services, working for Delmarva Central Railroad, providing grade crossing protection for over 180 miles of rail line in three states.

Patrick was dedicated not only to the protection of his nation and his local community, but was a fiercely dedicated husband, father, son, brother and cousin. He is survived by his wife, his two lovely daughters, his parents and brother, grandfather, and numerous aunts, uncles, cousins, nieces and nephews, all of whom will miss him greatly.
