Help Support Pat's Family During This Difficult Time

We are heartbroken to share that our dear friend, Pat passed away after a courageous battle with cancer. Known for his warm smile and generous spirit, Pat touched the lives of everyone around him. His passing leaves a void that will be deeply felt by all who knew him.

Throughout his illness, Pat remained optimistic and full of positivity. He and Beth fought together and faced every challenge with grace and resilience.

Now, as the family starts a new journey without him, they face not only emotional loss but also the daunting burden of medical bills and funeral expenses.

Many of you have reached out, asking how you can help during this difficult time. In response, we have set up this GoFundMe campaign to support Pat’s family. Our goal is to alleviate the financial stress so they can focus on healing and honoring Pat’s memory.

Your donation, no matter the size, will make a difference. It will help cover the substantial hospital bills and provide Pat’s family with some peace of mind as they navigate the path forward. Together, we can show them that they are part of a community that adored Pat and know that he would be the first one to help anyone else. On Saturday August 24, 2024 at St. Elizabeth Ann Seton in Crystal Lake, IL, there will be a brief visitation starting at 9:30am with a 10:30am Funeral Mass. After the mass, the family invites all to join them for a Celebration of his life to be held at The Quarry Cable Park in Crystal Lake

Thank you for your generosity and support. Please share this campaign with others who may wish to contribute.

With gratitude, Joaquin

All proceeds to go directly to Beth Contos.
