Patrick left a positive impact on my life. His caring and loyal nature along with his many outlooks on life are what shaped me most. I remember before I met him, his best friend Adam told me many stories about their adventures and how Patrick acted in times of pressure and in times of need. I thought to myself, what a great guy.. and when I met him, I wasn't disappointed. Conversations with him were so easy and enjoyable, as he genuinely cared about my life too. His abilities to put others needs above his own, to truely listen, and to say the right thing at the right time are so rare. I will miss him until we meet again. All of Patrick's friends and family are in my thoughts and prayers. - Chris S.

Patrick was a wonderfully vivacious spirit, full of love and admiration for all thing of beauty. He was a tortured soul who weathered the storms of life, but always somehow managed to find the sunshine. His lust for life and knowledge was infectious; the world will miss him dearly.

ReplyDeleteWords can't fully describe the pain I feel for your loss, the loss of Pat. News of his passing is devastating. I deeply cherish the time I spent growing up with him and the Simminger family, and I will do so now more than ever. I will always remember Pat as someone who put smiles on peoples faces through laughter and jokes, who cared deeply for others, and who loved life. My thoughts and prayers are with all of you and Pat. He will be sorely missed by all who knew him.

You could always find him anywhere an interesting conversation was taking place. He will be missed.
ReplyDeleteSorry I couldnt pay my respects. DH
Pat, I love you man, you were a true friend that deeply and genuinely cared for others. I could talk to you about anything and everything. Your knowledge on life and the world was incredible! You will truly be missed and I am sure your in a great place! To Pat's family I will keep you all in my prayers, you should be so proud of the wonderful son you raised, he truly was a gentelman.
ReplyDeleteOuch...
ReplyDeleteFor a family (name) that doesn't have many members, we of the Simminger Clan are shrinking.
For those wonder who I am, I am of the Stuttgurt Simminger family (by way of New York, Indiana & Pennsylvania).
Condolences to Patrick's family & friends.
