You may know Pat Hoffmann, from his work with Sonoma Taekwando and Native Sons of the Golden West.

Unfortunately, Pat passed away recently on July 23, 2021.

As his fellow board member of the Native Sons of the Golden West, I have started a funeral fundraiser to help cover the cost of his funeral expenses. The family was not prepared for losing Pat and the high cost of a funeral, and during this difficult time we are reaching out to the community for help.

Please consider donating if you can, as any amount will truly help. We need to raise $25,000 in order to cover the cost of Pat’s funeral service.

Pat was deeply valued with the work he did in the community as the director and owner of Sonoma Taekwando for over 30 years. He touched so many lives, young and young at heart. Pat and Barbie were forced to close the studio due to COVID-19 but that didn't slow down Pat. Most recenlty Pat was the President of Sonoma Parlor with the Native Sons of the Golden West. Pat was the type of person who just did whatever he could to help those in need and be involved. He could never say "no" to anyone seeking his help or assistance, it wasn't in his nature. His positive attituted and tireless work effort is what made Pat so special and such a valued and respected member of the Native Sons and the Sonoma community. If we exceed our goal, any additional funds will be used to provide living expenses for his widow, Barbie Hoffmann.

It would mean a lot if you could share Pat’s funeral fundraiser with others who knew him.

Thank you so much for your consideration,
