He was born on November 23, 1932, to Mary Rose (Urbanski) and Howard John Sheridan of Girard, Illinois. He was an only child. The family moved to Virden, Illinois where Patrick played baseball and was also a star basketball player in high school for the Virden Bulldogs. He was proud of his Irish and Hungarian heritage.

Patrick and Adele both supported their children in numerous activities, sports, and the Boy Scouts. Patrick was also a 3rd degree member of the Knights of Columbus, actively serving his church and his community.

After Adele retired, they chose Loveland, Colorado as their home. They were active members of St. John the Evangelist Catholic Church.
