Donald Patrick

Donald Joseph Patrick, passed on at the age of 81 on Saturday, May 14, 2016, celebrating his 35th anniversary of marriage to his loving wife.

Don was born May 6, 1935 in Denver Colorado, the oldest child of Anton Patrick and Helen Buchko. He is survived by his three brothers, Joseph, Richard, and Robert Patrick. Donald will be missed by Anna B. and their combined family of 7 children and 31 grandchildren/great-grandchildren.

Donald was an anchor for his family, and known by his ever expanding collection of friends for his quick wit, sense of humor, and hand-made greeting cards. His memory and big-hearted pranks will live in our hearts forever. Pink, Yellow, Orange, and Blue -- his parting missive was the color of bright, a treasure of spirit in digital hue.

Don's family will be hosting an informal celebration of life gathering at the Take It Easy RV Resort, 703 Junction Highway, starting at 2:00 p.m., Tuesday, May 17 with Pastor Mike Williams officiating.
