Patrick Lee McCormick

With deep sorrow but abiding faith, we announce that Patrick Lee McCormick passed away on January 25, 2025, at the age of 76. Though our hearts are heavy with loss, we find comfort in knowing he now rests in eternal peace with his Heavenly Father.

Patrick was born on April 26, 1948, in Houston, Texas. He attended Waltrip High School and received his undergraduate degree from the University of Texas at Austin where he was a member of Sigma Nu Fraternity. Patrick was a Petty Officer in the United States Navy, serving as Aerographer’s Mate on the USS Kitty Hawk.

Patrick was a caring and generous father, grandfather, son, brother, uncle, and friend who lived his life as testament to God’s grace and redemption. A faithful member of Alcoholics Anonymous for almost 32 years, he was an inspiration to many, offering encouragement, strength, and hope to those walking the path of recovery. Through his journey, he exemplified perseverance, simplicity, and the power of faith in overcoming life’s struggles.

Beyond his family and life in recovery, Patrick had a passion for fishing, finding peace and joy by the water. Whether casting a line off the coast of San Diego or the dock at Lake Austin, he felt closest to God in nature’s quiet beauty. He often demonstrated appreciation for the simple blessings of life.

Patrick is survived by his daughter, Molly McCormick Johnson and grandson, Benjamin, of Coppell, Texas, his mother, Rosalie Brown Cumbie, of Austin, his brother Stanley E. McCormick, of San Antonio, and many cherished family members and friends.

A celebration of Patrick’s life will be held at 2:00 p.m., Friday, February 28, 2025, at Westlake United Methodist Church. In lieu of flowers, the family requests donations to Wounded Warrior Project in his memory.

Patrick has fought the good fight, finished the race, and kept the faith (2 Timothy 4:7). He is now at peace, and we look forward to the day we will be reunited with him in glory.
