Patrick was a good friend of mine during my Denali days between 2015 - 2018. We worked closely together on several projects, and he was always a joy to work with. I fondly remember his humor, his spark, his laugh, his intellect, his wit, his work ethic, and his hilarious stories. I remember his

One of most favorite thing to do with Patrick when he and Kenny would visit was to take them to the most white trashy places in PA. Most were NE PA. I will never forget the looks of amazement as we walked through The Country Junction Worlds Largest General Store. The laughter was worth the trip alon

Please save the date for Patrick's Celebration of Life on Saturday, August 28th. We will share more details soon.

Going back a few years, when Ken and I were still running Landis Shores Oceanfront Inn, the boutique hotel we built in Half Moon Bay, Kenny and Patrick, Rose and Edgar came down to visit us at our home on the top floor a number of times, and we shared dinner and wine, laughter and friendship. It

All, If you would like a way to honor Patrick's memory today, while also basking in the glow of his love of the quirky, strange, and left-of-center, please enjoy this. During the pandemic, Patrick sent out a daily music video to our group of friends and called it the Isolation Music Video Project

As many of you probably know, Patrick was a huge fan of German strategic board-games. It was always fascinating playing with him as he would gently and unassumingly absolutely crush us all. This picture clearly shows why - he took his gaming seriously! Thank you, Patrick. You have made this place be

I know Patrick starting from our time as classmates in grad school at UCSF. We started there in the fall of 1999. That means we've known each other for 22 years! My fondest memories of our interactions there together include several evenings of dinner and drinks with the classmates (I once got a war

He was one of a kind. An excellent scientist and an even better human being. I only wished I'd known him sooner. The costumes, the autographed Joyce Dewitt photo floating around the office (and the confusion it caused for interview candidates), the best ever Denali Tee shirt design, and that l

I wasnt as close to Patrick as most of the people here, but I have a memorable story of him. He was one of those people that went to all the same schools as me from elementary to high school. I recall a time in 4th grade where I was being bullied by another kid. I was crying and he found me. I tried

I had put off writing this note for a number of reasons…for one thing, despite all of the times that we hung out with Patrick over 12+ years, I cannot explain why we have 0 pictures of us together. How we spent all of this time together cooking, drinking, wining and dining together with Kenny and (a

For your kind heart, warm smile, and hilarious sense of humor. You always had something creative or insightful to add to any work or social discussion, and you brightened up many work days for me at Denali. Rebecca Erickson

All my memories of Patrick are filled with his warm, eyes-full-of-joy smile. Even when he wasn't smiling, there was joy in the room when he was in it. I'll never forget that smile along with his pure joy of scientific discovery. I remember the time he saved the day by flying to Amsterdam to teach o

I always said Patrick would make a great Santa, maybe it was his beard, or his sweet smile. But behind that smile was so much mischief. That mischief is what brought 2 pranksters together and become good friends. Our fun times together are far too many to summarize. From emailing each other from a c

Patrick, You were such a bright light during our time together at Denali. Thank you for sharing your love of odd museums, Mabel, t-shirt designs, cats, paint-by-numbers, traveling, fake apple pie, and countless other stories. Your endless optimism, smiles, and kindness are so inspiring to me, and I

I was one of the lucky ones that grew up with Patrick. My mom’s favorite Patrick story is that I came home from kindergarten announcing I had my “very first best friend”. My mom asked what HER name was and I proudly announced, “Patrick!” Even back then, as a five year old, Patrick had something sp

All, Patrick died this morning. His parents and I were with him when he passed away. Please continue to share your thoughts, memories, and stories on this site. Patrick was so beloved by so many of you, and so many more - please share this note with whoever needs to know. There was no one

Patrick, you were a ray of sunshine. One of my fondest memories was spending time together in Rome, eating and laughing. Tu mi mancherai. Xo

Thank you Patrick for always having a warm caring smile and hug! You were always so welcoming of guests into your home and life. You left the World a brighter place!

I will always remember Patrick as the spiky haired boy with an quirky sense of humor, sharp mind, and eclectic taste in music that I met Freshman year of high school. Over the years, his personality remained wonderfully the same (well, he got a little more feisty after a few drinks). Even though I w

Patrick messaged me late last year to check in on me after finding out that I had been ill. I didn't know until then that he had also been struggling with health issues. I was blown away by his courage and strength, and most of all, his thoughtfulness. Rest in peace, dear Patrick. I am grateful to

I only had the pleasure of meeting Patrick over a long weekend staying with him and Kenny the other year. And what a pleasure it was! Patrick instantly took me in as an old friend and made me feel at home immediately. We drank wine, laughed and I watched him and Kenny and a few friends play a

Patrick has the amazing ability to make anything and everything more joyous & more fun! He is one of the best people I will ever know, and my heart is broken knowing that he is gone. I have so many wonderful memories with Patrick from our time in grad school together – particular the great NY to S

Rest in peace my dear friend. My heart is heavy, but my memories of you are full of sunshine. I have few words, only tears. My thoughts go out to Kenny and your family at this time. I hope they can find some solace that you touched the hearts of so many - a life well-lived. In his memory, I'm post

Your lovely smile, sweet nature and the love (and humor) you and Kenny shared is all I can think about today and will remain in my heart always. With all my love dear friend.

You were a kind, beautiful, and unique soul. You will be sorely missed. Sending love to Kenny and all the friends and family he touched. There were many. ❤️
