Pam, I’m deeply sorry to hear about Pat. He was such a great person and will be greatly missed. The trout on the Little Red River will now swim peacefully between Pangburn and Ramsey, without Pat patrolling the waters. Sending prayers to you and your family during this difficult time.
Pat was a wonderful man. He was always kind and gracious. I went to the UA with him and he was referred to as "The Marlboro Man". He will be greatly missed around the NWA area. He was friends with everyone.
Pam & Family, so sorry to hear of your loss. Pat was bigger than life and I’m honored and blessed to have known him during our time at Tyson. We talked about the purported benefits of copper and magnetic bracelets and got into some discussions on trucks and tractors and other mechanical things around the Pilot plant. May the Lord comfort you and keep you in His palms. Steve Morris
Terrible loss for those of us who had the privilege to know Pat. God received a great warrior! Pat would always check on me and check in at sheriff’s office while I was sheriff. I worked for him for a brief time at Tyson. He never forgot me. He had a portrait of John Wayne in his office when I worked for him. He gave it to me to hang in my office at Newton County. Pat was always the first to sign up to play golf at my daughter’s memorial golf tournament. We had it for 15 years and Pat played in all but one but he reached out to me to tell me how saddened he was for missing it. He was a truly great and admirable man. God bless.
I only ever met Pat once or twice and he left a great impression. He was gruff, kind, hilarious and hated when I called him “sir.” That was over a decade ago and I’ve carried those memories with me fondly. I celebrate his life and grieve with his family. I know he will be missed.
Pam, Beth, and Family, we are grieved by this loss. Pat played such a big part in our story in Arkansas. From target shooting and furniture repair to all the church events he lended hand without even being asked. I have met few other men as genuinely kind and honest as Pat. He will be greatly missed. You are on our hearts and in our prayers. Cameron, Terra, & Arwyn.
My condolences to the family. I worked with Pat for almost 30 years. He was a great man and loved his family dearly. I pray for peace and comfort during this time. Sincerely, Anthony
