Pat was an auto-mechanic and farmer his entire life. He married his high school sweetheart, Nancy, on July 25, 1964. Pat was always working on cars, sprint cars, and farm equipment. He was the family historian and storyteller. When he wasn't working on mechanics and the farm, he enjoyed taking road trips and looking at properties. He loved hosting the family's country Christmas with 4-wheeler rides and using water skis on the snow. In the moments when he was sitting still, he developed a fondness for watching birds at the bird feeders. He will be remembered for always helping others and treating friends like family.
Pat is survived by his wife, Nancy; brother, Dennis (Lynn); niece, Julie (Steve) Zeplin; nephew, Larry (Kari) Wakefield; along with great nieces and nephews; and cherished friends. Pat is preceded in death by his parents; and his sister, Twila (Gene).
