I find myself reminiscing a lot about my childhood memories & I think about how a lot of kids today will never experience what we had.. we grew up in Glendale, Ca. Patrick grew up in the blue apartments literally next door to us. Our childhood consisted of playing cops & robbers throughout the neighborhood. We could literally hide anywhere. We would hide inside each other’s homes, sometimes on top of a tree & sometimes we would climb over to my backyard. There was also one summer where we all decided to slip & slide on the pavement.. we had put dish soap on the floor; so you could imagine the fun we had. Sometimes we would just chill around & talk. I remember vividly poking my head through his kitchen window, his mother was cooking lays chips which I was very intrigued by & his sister Isa was playing video games.. right beside her I would almost always catch Patrick admiring the way she played. Eventually our childhood ended & Patricks family moved. I didn’t get to see how handsome Patrick got throughout the years while he was still here with us but I will never forget the little boy with a contagious laugh, slick shiny hair & beautiful chocolate eyes. I’ll never forget little Patrick, I used to pinch his cheeks because he was the cutest little boy. I would always taunt him that Maribel was his girlfriend.. in fact even after Patrick had moved away they eventually reunited & continued their friendship where they left off. They had a created a special bond & she is left devastated. Maribel would tell me great things about you Patrick, she would tell me that you were a hard worker & most importantly a very intelligent respectful man. Patrick you will be missed by us all, you were like a little brother to me. I know God is taking good care of you, you are now enjoying all the stars, not just earth but all the other planets, warm sunny days & most importantly His kingdom! 

I am still in disbelief… Patrick and I grew up with each other. I remember all the times I would bother him and knock on his kitchen window so that he could come out and play with me. Always was adventure time when we were together. We would steal his sisters things or my siblings things and bury them around our neighborhood.  We were like brother and a sister… I would always bother him and mess with his video games and always welcomed me regardless of all the times I annoyed him.  We were always together playing and just being kids around our neighborhood. I’ll never forget all the times we’ve spent with each other as kids. So many beautiful  memories Patrick…  His family eventually moved out from next door and still as we grew older we kept in touch. Patrick you were the most loving and gentle person I’ve ever met. I am blessed and honored to have grown up with you and to have seen how we evolved into our 20’s. Hearing this has left me numb and I want to thank you for teaching me to be brave and not take any crap from anyone. 

My deepest sympathy on the lost of your son Patrick.

 Thank you Parick for  💛 being part of my son's life. Thank you for being part of our birthday parties at Shakey's. I will never forget your smile, bashfulness and how polite and appreciative you always were. Thank you for the friendship you shared with my son Louie. I always heard you guys playing on Xbox being silly and having fun at all hours of the day. Thank you for surprising him on his 20th bday at my house. Thank you for all the memories you left us. You will be in our hearts and never forgotten. Gone too soon. 

I remember in high school, during lunch break any one of us would immediately finish our milk just to use the milk carton as a soccer ball. I never had any self confidence with my soccer skills, but he would compliment me whenever I did something note worthy and give me some tips for the game. Those were the days all of us just played for hours throughout the days, forgetting about everything, just to kick a ball around. Really great times.

Best time we had was in high school, when us and a couple of other friends would go to the park and play soccer together after school, it may have been like some pointless fun which is was but those Friday evenings were days we all looked forward too, we could just stay out out until dark and have fun with no worries in the world
