Thomas William Patrick Jr.

Tom was born on the 9th of October 1946, in Corsicana, TX, to Thomas William “Billy” and Frances Crowe Patrick.

Tom was a 1965 graduate of Robert E. Lee High School in Midland, Texas. He then attended Texas A&M University graduating in 1969 with a bachelor's degree in economics. Tom was the Adjutant/Inspector General of the First Brigade Staff of the Corps of Cadets and was commissioned as a Second Lieutenant in the U.S Army from 1969-72.

Following honorable discharge from the Army in 1972, Tom began his insurance career in San Francisco, CA. His career took him to Hartford, CT, West Palm Beach, FL, Fort Lauderdale, FL, and finally back to Houston, TX. He was fortunate to work for several strong companies and make many friends over the years.

Throughout his life he enjoyed hunting, golf, handball, playing the guitar, and baseball. He truly loved his time as a baseball coach where he was a positive influence on countless young players, including his own son, Brian, whose career he followed from Duke University to the Toronto Blue Jays organization.

Tom is survived by his son, Brian Patrick, of Fort Lauderdale, FL; and Angela Patrick of Houston, TX.

He was preceded in death by his mother, Frances; father, Billy; and brother, Michael Patrick.
