May 22, 2026 at 2:43 amI met Pat in the 4th grade and we instantly became friends and quickly became inseparable. We shared a lot of experiences and laughter together, as well as a common interest in music. We eventually played in the band together with our friends Flint and Greg. I have so many great memories that he was part of. He was one of a kind and I am truly going to miss him.
