We are so sorry for the loss of this fine man, a friend to so many here in Bon Air.  We are so thankful to call Pat and Esther our friends.  I always enjoyed visiting with the Pattersons, both generous with their affection, good humor and smiles.  Pat enjoyed telling stories of growing up in Bon Air and good times shared with his beautiful bride.  Bon Air mourns the loss of our dear friend.  Esther, Wendy and Becky, you all are blessed to have so many good memories to comfort you.

Please accept our most heartfelt sympathies, Pat was a true gentleman, a fighter and advocate for Pulmonary Fibrosis. His support of Breath Matters is unmatched, his enthusiasm for our programs and speakers was infectious, and most of all he will always be a beacon of strength in the reality of a terrible disease.
All your friends at Breath Matters

To Esther, Becky, Wendy, Ray, Rachel and Justin,

Thank you for sharing Pat...your Husband, your Daddy, Your Father-in-Law, and Grandfather, with Garnett and me.  Pat was one of a kind and brought joy to so many lives, especially ours.

   There are so many wonderful memories that we have of times that we spent with him and those times will never be forgotten.

There is an old saying that you are never gone as long as someone remembers you.  Because Pat made so many friends, his name will be mentioned frequently and he will live forever in our hearts.

You all are in our thoughts!
Garnett & Nancy

Wendy and Family - I'm very sorry for your loss.  I know Wendy loves her father very much.  I'm thinking of you at this difficult time.

Esther, Becky, Wendy and family. I was saddened to hear of Pat's passing. The thought of him brings such a smile. I love the picture of him, just as I'll always remember him. Keeping all of you in my thoughts and prayers. May your years of memories comfort you always.

We are saddened by the loss of your loved one.  Bernard and I are lifting your family in prayer for comfort as you adjust to his precious spirit now being blessed by the heavenly Father.

Although I never had the pleasure of meeting you, I still feel as if I know you through your daughter Wendy, she always speaks of her 'daddy' I know she will miss you dearly. My thoughts and prayers are with the family may you find comfort knowing that he is at peace! God bless you all.

In loving memory of a wonderful uncle.  I will miss you and will remember all the great times we had.

Together Pat and I shared the same lung disease, pulmonary fibrosis.  And we shared so many other things…we each had a wife and two children, and in each case they did everything in their power to help their Father and husband struggle with a mean and cruel disease.  When we got in low gear, they would do anything in their power to put us in a HIGHER gear.  Whether the gear was an emotional gear or a physical gear, each of us had three of the most wonderful people in the world as caregivers.  People that cared, people that would do anything for Pat or me.  We both love the outdoors, the river, jet skis, and the water.  Cloudy water and skies were wonderful, just get me to the water.  It will clear off, it ain't going to rain so com'on, get ready, let's go to the reeever!

My fibrotic lungs, lungs so fibrous and hard that they could not take the necessary Oxygen out of the air so I could take 2 steps.  One-step with groceries was nearly impossible just as 2 steps up stairs empty handed were arduous.  You could sit, and sit you must, and Oxygen levels in your body increased, but stand up from the chair you were sitting in, they would drop dangerously low.  My malady with this rare disease with NO CURE or MEDS was discovered at the age of 56 and by the grace of our lord, I received a right lung on November 20, 2005 at 59.  I met the criteria in 2005 of a healthy body and heart with no signs of cancer and I was 65 or under.  The age limit has “kind of” increased these past few years and one hospital claims “no age limit.”  From what I understand, Pat's disease was diagnosed just a few years ago.  There are still NO MEDS or CURE with lung transplantation only a temporary solution for some.  You still have the disease, a disease that may or may not abate the advancing fibrous tissue.  Pat, Esther, Wendy, and Becky were the absolute best support group.  When possible Pat would do as much as he could, but as quick as the blink of an eye he had any help he needed.  I am part of a lung disease support group in Central Virginia called BREATH MATTERS. If there were any lectures on Pulmonary Fibrosis, Pat and his familial entourage were always there.  The last meeting he attended his Oxygen pressure was set on 6 on a canister about 40” tall on wheels.  He managed it well but he knew that big tank continuously giving 6 liters a minute to the patient would last about 30 minutes.  Behind Pat and his wife Esther, daughter Wendy was pushing a hand truck with the additional 3 tanks snugly fitted to the truck.  The three of them knew from experience and he knew he would have a ¼ tank at his arrival home.

I don't know that I have ever known a better man. I am so pleased that this past Friday, two weeks ago, I spent ninety of the most glorious minutes two gents can spend with each other sharing good, kind stories about our families.  I could not wait to see him again.  Pat, you have left behind a cadre of folks awestruck by your courage to fight and the tenderness and finesse of a true gentleman, a Sterling Silver Southern Gentleman, a man of  polish and wealth. Your next trip will be much easier for you are well equipped.
