We are raising funds to help cover funeral expenses following the sudden passing of Patrick Joseph Protheroe on April 26. A loving dad, loyal friend, and a youth sports coach and mentor for the past 30 years -- Pat had a way of showing up for people, especially kids. Whether on the field or off, he gave his time, energy, and heart to helping others grow, always with a deep love for sports and community.

He is survived by his three children, Janae (34), Joe (31), and Mikey (30), his brother Mike, nephews Brian and Michael, his loving partner Anna, and his 7 grandchildren along with many extended family members, friends, and players whose lives he impacted over the years.

This loss has come unexpectedly, and any support will go directly toward honoring Pat’s life and helping his family through this incredibly difficult time. Any support, big or small, means more than words can express. Your continued thoughts and prayers mean so much to our family.

Sincerely,

The Protheroe Family
