Patrick Henry Steigerwald

Pat was born in Chicago, IL, the oldest of five children born to his adored Mother, Edith, who survives him at age 97. His siblings, Ken (Darlene), Julie Looye (Adrian) Pete Fleming and Paul Fleming will miss Pat.

He also leaves behind his wife, Pat (AKA Nummy), beloved Daughter, Shannon Murray (John Fremgen) and the “Apple of his Eye”, Georgie Murray, to who he was known as “Papa”. Pat leaves behind his loving niece, Quinn Steigerwald. He was also “Volunteer Grandfather: to Jacob and Simon Fremgen and Proud Godfather of Jimmy Wisemiller. Pat is also survived by many Aunts, Uncles, cousins and many, many friends and neighbors he loved like family.

Affectionately known as Big Pat, Mr. Pat, Steegs and Staggerwall by his family and many friends, he took fashion advice from no one while wearing his ‘uniform’ a v-neck pocketed t-shirt with sweatpants. His comfort overrode any interest in the latest fashion trends.

Pat lived his life in his own way and on his own terms, and in keeping with his wishes, there will be no formal funeral. Instead, we are offering good music, his favorite foods, and a place for Pat’s friends and family to gather and share some stories. Please join us in celebrating Pat’s life on Thursday, June 27, 2019 at Crystal Sky Banquets located at 7941 47th Street – McCook, IL from 3 – 9 pm. At 7:00 pm there will be an informal service to memorialize this unforgettable guy.
