Patrick Moran

Born March 5th, 1954 in the Valley of Syracuse, New York, Pat was always the life of the party. He was a graduate of St. James Elementary School, Central Tech, and SUNY Canton. He attended Arizona State University and was a member of the Sigma Chi fraternity. He spent his days as a sheet metal worker starting in Phoenix, Arizona and moving to Local 88 in Las Vegas, Nevada where he lived with his girlfriend, Tasha King. He served on the E-board for the Local 88.

Pat was an avid outdoorsman who was always in Converse All-Stars. He cheered for the Green Bay Packers & New York Yankees and enjoyed spending time with his siblings, cousins, and nephews/nieces. He loved his family fiercely and never missed a family vacation or reunion - especially in Key West, FL. Like his mother before him, Patrick was blessed with the gift of gab and enjoyed lengthy & lively conversations. He kept good friends from all his adventures and visited with them often. He always had an infectious smile and told a great story. He was never the first one to leave a party. While he made his home elsewhere, he always had a seat waiting for him at Phoel's or the Valley Legion.

Patrick is predeceased by his parents, Thomas L & Phyllis A (Moore) Moran, as well as his nephew, Barry Patrick Moran and sister-in-law, Kathleen (Barry) Moran. Patrick is survived by his girlfriend, Tasha King; brothers: Michael (Karen) of Baldwinsville, Joseph of Jamesville, Daniel J of Apache Junction, AZ; sister Maureen "Rene" Rice of St. Petersburg, FL; nephews: Bryan J, Daniel G, and Andrew J Moran, Matthew J, Christopher N, and Timothy P Rice; and nieces Megan M (Nate) Collins and Dannell A Moran: great-nieces Taylor and Delaney Rice, Chloe Collins, and Juliet Moran; aunts Joyce Moran and Susan Moran; and so, so, so many beloved cousins.

Patrick's life will be celebrated with a viewing at Palms Mortuary Northwest, Las Vegas, NV with a celebration of life to follow. He will be laid for his final rest at Onondaga Valley Cemetery, Syracuse, NY.
