Dear Friends & Family,

We are so grateful to the outpouring of love and support that we have felt from you all over the last month. It has been 1 full month since John crossed over. The loss has been heavier than we would have ever known. The grief has been shared by many. It has been made very clear to us that John lived a full life, with many who saw him, laughed with him, and shared his life with him. 

We write to inform you on the celebration of life for John Patterson. We would love nothing more, then to be with all of you, and to join together in one grand gesture to honor this great man and the impact that he had on each and every! Here are the details:
