Patrick Higgins Family Support Fund
Donation protected
It is with great sadness that we share about the unexpected passing of a member of our community. Last week, Patrick Higgins a member of Seattle Leadership Team 2 passed away at the age of 50. Patrick was a connected, passionate and joyful man who envisioned, "A world of abundance where everyone lives in peace, love, and harmony."
Patrick leaves behind a loving family including children Liam, Maggie, and Aidan and family and extended family in Buffalo, New York. If you were able to experience Patrick either directly or through contact with his family, you know how large his presence and heart could be. As mother of his children, fellow LT 2 graduate Tracey Higgins has shared that Patrick "was a devoted son and brother, a much loved uncle, cousin, son-in-law and brother-in-law, and friend to many."
While his family begins the difficult grieving process, there are ways in which we as a community can come together to support Tracey, Liam, Maggie and Aidan.
Patrick's memorial will be taking place in Buffalo NY, and a fund has been created to support the family in being able to travel from Washington state, to where the services will be held. While dealing with an overwhelming loss, let's support them in being able to grieve without concern of figuring out details and financial considerations. Our goal of $5,500 would go towards handling additional expenses and travel for his immediate family.

We share with you a song that was dedicated to Patrick during his Momentum journey. "The Rising" by Bruce Springsteen (one of his favorite artists) and a song that has brought comfort to many while being originally inspired by great loss.
