Patrick Feehan, age 71, passed away on May 29th after a battle with pancreatic cancer. Patrick was born in Yakima, Washington. After college, Patrick spent a year as a ski bum in Alta, UT, then attended medical school in Kansas City via the Air Force. Patrick served the country in the Air Force for 20 years, retiring as a Lieutenant Colonel. His medical specialty, radiation oncology, led to career opportunities that took the family to many amazing places such as San Francisco, Napa Valley, Santa Fe (NM), and ultimately Carmel, CA, where he worked at CHOMP for over 20 years until his retirement. Over the course of his career, Patrick served as the Medical Director of Radiation Oncology; was appointed to the State Board of Medicine in New Mexico; and was appointed by the Dept. of Energy to an oversight committee for the Environmental Remediation from Nuclear Weapons program at the Los Alamos National Lab.
Patrick was a beloved father and friend who was also tirelessly dedicated to his patients and the local community. When he wasn’t working, he could be found coaching his daughters in soccer, golfing, playing the guitar, volunteering as a docent at Point Lobos, serving on the board for Goodwill of the Central Coast, or traveling around the world. In 2022, he made a 500-mile pilgrimage on the Camino de Santiago across Spain with his lifelong travel companion and wife, Mariana. We will continue to honor the legacy of a remarkable soul whose passion for life knew no bounds. His presence will forever be felt in the hearts of all who knew him and those he touched.
Patrick is survived by his wife of 38 years and the love of his life, Mariana; his three daughters Kelsy, Kaitlin (Reidy), and Mikayla; and his son-in-law Colin (Reidy). He is also survived by his brother Bruce, his sisters Polly and Jill; and his aunt Linda and uncle Bob.
A memorial mass will be held at the Carmel Mission on June 20th. In lieu of flowers, please consider donating to the Carmelite Monastery, specifically their Solar Power Campaign: Let There Be Light (www.carmelitesistersbythesea.org)
