Let's Give Pat A Proper Homegoing Celebration!!

Friends & Family,

I'm reaching out on behalf of one of my best friends growing up and his family, Pat Washburn who tragically passed away June 18th.

Pat was one of my very first true friends i ever made, starting at Michigamme Elementary in 3rd grade and maintained our friendship all the way until he was no longer with us on the 18th of June! Anybody that knew Pat, knew that although he had his troubles he was a huge/kind hearted soul that would give you the shirt off his back if you needed it. I'm reaching out to anybody that has ever known Pat and would agree with me that he needs a proper memorial and the ability to be cremated as he has very, very little family left to help out financially.

Pat will be donating his organs through the Gift Of Life in Ann Arbor to hopefully give somebody else a chance at life, and this speaks to the person he was truly! He will be scheduled to have the procedures done as soon as the end of the week (6/28/24) and at the point that is completed, he will be relocated to the crematory and we would like to take care of that cost along with setting up his memorial following the receipt of his ashes. The hope is to have his ashes present at the memorial for friends and family to pay their respects.

I would love to truly throw Pat a celebration of life that his friends and limited family can enjoy and also ensure that he is cremated respectfully.

I'm not asking for a tremendous amount from anyone, but if we all chip in a little bit i believe we could come together and celebrate his life in a way that he would smile down on. So if you find it in your heart, please donate to this cause and allow us to send Pat home respectfully.

All funds will be allocated to ensuring Pat's family has enough money to cremate him, and offer him a proper memorial. None of this money will be pursed and used for ANY other reason.
