He was born in Fort Worth Texas on September 25, 1959 to Maurice and Mary Bernadene Stodghill Partin.
Patrick was a member of the First United Methodist Church of Colorado City who believed in his love for Christ, his love for family. Patrick was a man with a big heart, who truly believed that all children deserved a proper education. Through his many years as a teacher he was seen as an excellent educator, and he knew that he changed the paths of many of his students. Patrick could come across as a bit outspoken and stubborn, maybe even a bit wild, but he had a heart of a teddy bear and you always knew where you stood with him. If he loved you, it was a sincere love and you knew it because he would do anything for you. Patrick will be missed by all who loved him, but the many lessons he taught will be cherished by many.
When not working at the school Patrick could be seen ranching, or out hunting or fishing, as he loved being outdoors. Patrick was also a huge gun enthusiast. He also enjoyed cooking, having a glass of wine or two with a good cigar, and eating a well cooked meal. Patrick was also a member of the National Rifle Association, the Texas State Rifle Association, and the Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation.
Patrick is survived by his wife Dana Partin of Colorado City, by his daughter Keri Lovell and husband Blake of Midland, by a grandchild Kamden Lovell and by a sister Amy Peck of Divide Colorado. He is also survived by his father-in-law Bill Schuster of Denver City, by a brother-in-law Gary Schuster and wife Beatrice of Gallup N.M, and by his fur babies Remi, Mauri, Carlos, and Pedro.
