Our family can not express just how grateful we are for the many people reaching out and offering their condolences, well wishes, love, support, food/gift cards, and great memories of Patrick. Patrick loved people fiercely and deeply. He gave of himself whatever he had to anyone who needed it.  Patrick's life exemplified servanthood.  To have a servant's heart means to have a mindset or a desire to selflessly and sacrificially serve others, regardless of your feelings towards them or what it may cost you. 
We are so blessed to have had him for the time that we did. I reviewed the lifetime of pictures that I have (Patrick and I have known each other since we were 12 years old. In EVERY single photograph, Patrick is either smiling, deeply content, being affectionate with the kids, helping with a community project, or just snuggling with our puppies. He was a beautiful soul who loved so naturally. What a gift he was!

We are creating this page for anyone who has asked where monetary donations can be made. The funds raised in Patrick's honor will be divided evenly to both children for their college expenses. Thank you all for being a part of his life, and we hope to see you at his Celebration of Life on September 25th at 10 am Crossroads Community Cathedral in East Hartford.

God Bless You
