Welcome to Capt Patrick’s CaringBridge Site
Sign In to Show Your Support... and following seas, dear Patrick. We lost our Captain yesterday at 1:23pm. We are devastated and heart broken.
He fought so hard. Damn, he fought like hell. And Mandy and our family championed for Patrick to get him the best care possible. We fought along side him, just like this community did. The way you have rallied around Patrick, Mandy and Zane is indescribable. THANK YOU! Thank you for loving our family through this journey.
Patrick was a giver. He sprung into action the second he saw a need. There was no waiting for someone else to get it started. He moved full steam ahead. And that is how you have supported us during Patrick's illness. We knew Patrick's circle was far reaching, but WOW! We are blessed beyond words.
It's been beautiful and heart wrenching to read the stories of the lives Patrick touched. His boat's name, DayMaker, was perfect. He lived to make it every day a special day out on the water catching fish. And he did it so well! Even when the fish weren't biting, he made sure you had a memorable day. Please keep posting your stories, here and on his Facebook and Instagram pages.
You walked along side us, prayed with us - and carried us - these last 6 weeks. This is a testment to the power of prayer and the need for community. Let us continue to be here for each other and support one another. Patrick never met a stranger. Let's follow his lead and love others well, like you have loved us. Life is too precious and too short not to.
So... fairwinds and following seas dear Patrick. We love you and will miss you everyday.
A heartfelt thank you. With love and gratitude,
Judie, Craig, Dana, Mandy and Zane
