Patrick grew up in San Marcos. He attended St. John’s Catholic School and graduated from San Marcos High School in 1978. He graduated from Southwest Texas State University with a degree in Psychology in 1992.
Pat held several jobs throughout his lifetime. He worked for Austin Public Library, The Texas State Library, San Marcos Record, and HEB to name a few. He was very well liked by his fellow employees.
For the past several years Pat had not always been able to work full time due to various illnesses. He always maintained his great sense of humor. He loved books and was a voracious reader. As one local librarian stated, “He was a true friend of the library”. He also loved trivia questions and seldom missed watching “Jeopardy”.
