Patrick,
 You are missed by so many of us.  You are never forgotten and always remembered.  Thank you for being such a good friend.  The Golden Girls TV show theme song is playing through my mind when I think of you just now.  Pretty corny, but just think of those words.  So, thank you for being a friend; my friend.  You are loved and remembered every single day.
Love,
Em

Dad, I could go on and on about our relationship. This has been so hard for me. I miss u so much I miss u saying to me when I would come into grampa[ bee wanna go talk]and I would say yeah. Are conversation were funny half the time and than when we were done talking I would allways say to you[ Let's go get a slurpee] and u would say yes. My dad was an awesome guy and a father to me. Me and him had an awesome relationship that only me and him really had. He went way to quick. I guess what I'm trying to say is that I really miss u. And that it's been really hard for me and everyone. You we'll be greatly missed. And I can't wait to see u again! And tell u so much more stuff

im missing you dad. everyone is trying to do the best they can with everything & going day by day without crying. I just keep it in until one day I'll explode. you can never be replaced .  & again, I had another dream about you , I hate waking up and seeing that's it not real. most of all I miss your voice . either making fun of gwen while she's in the kitchen or you asking who's lovin there dad. lately I've been thinking about what things would be like if things never went the way they did. but like I said before your in a better place and in no pain & that's all I've ever wanted for you . love you dad. we will see each other soon!❤

I miss u Patrick. You were my favorite uncle and still are. We had so many good memories together. Your laugh was priceless, your imitation of grandmas southern accent drove her crazy and it always made me laugh when you didn't know when to stop. I keep holding onto those good memories and try not to think about the bad ones, the ones that make you cry and just stop what your doing and break down into tears. I love you Patrick and I always will forever and ever  ~livvy

Patrick, it's been 15 days. Somehow I thought it would get easier, it doesn't, it won't. I've cried so much I'm sure I'm dehydrated. You were the best! What hurts most is I couldn't protect you. But, one day we will see each other again. Pat, I'm heart broken, living together the last few years we really shared some wonderful moments. Your kids are hurting, mom n dad are just holding it together and try and smile and get through the day. You grow up thinking you'll bury grandparents, parents, but not your baby brother. I told you I loved you daily and if you ever needed me I'd be there in seconds. I will tell you I love you this day forward and I WILL be there for you again. I will protect your girls too. Pat, goodbye for now......Love Robbie

To Bill, Gwen, Colleen and family, Rob and family, Madison and Laura, each of you havenour deepest sympathy and our prayers are with you.  Pat you were a gem, a diamond in the rough.  You were so loving and caring.  It is not hard to see what Jennifer, Reanne and Heidi saw in you.  You sparkled and shined and made each of them so very happy.

I especially liked the times when you would arrive just as I was getting home from work.  We would get out of our cars and you would say "hi mom."  We would then go inside where you would say, "hi honey we're home, what's for dinner?"  Then proceed to give Jennifer a kiss and hug and the girls hugs.  Eventually speaking with Jack and John.  It was let the entertainment begin.  We never knew who was going to say what or when.  It just came natural for all of us.

I reflect on our conversation of trying to understand the point of the cartoon "The Amazing World of Gumball", which only Rea and I liked.

I want you to know that there is a massive void in all of our lives since we have lost you.  You were our 2nd son and we were proud of it.  We know that in the scheme of things God has a much bigger plan for you than any of us can imagine.  RIP Pat and know that we will miss you dearly and we loved you so very much.

Dear Mr.Pat,
                       Im always going to miss your welcoming hugs and kisses when you came over. You are in a better place now and im glad for that. When you were here on earth you used your body for these things: your arms were made for hugs, your lips were made for kisses, your eyes were made for seeing the world, your brain was made for smarts, and your heart was made for loving! You now have your wings to sore and a halo for your angel rights! Your always going to be remembered by me and mommy and the rest of the family❤ i love you mr.pat and i always will!!❤ 
                Sincerely,
                                  Rea Rea

Pat,

The girls and I miss you so much.  Everyday I still find myself looking out the picture window of my kitchen waiting for you to pull up in your Jeep, the daily text messages starting around 9:30, phone calls and spending every evening together.  I'm so glad we had our little weekend getaway in February we all had so much fun.  I just regret not taking any photos of all the fun we had with all the kids.  You were 1 in a million Pat and I will never find anyone else quite like you as long as long as Iive.  I love you with all my heart and miss you very much.

Pat,  I've missed you so much since you've been gone.  You were such an amazing father to Laura and Madison and friend to everyone who knew you and a great boyfriend to me, while treating my girls as if they were your own.  You made the last 4 months of my life unbelievably happy as well as my girls.  You were truly 1 in a million and I know deep down in my heart there will never be anyone like you to ever come into my life again.  I love you with all my heart!  Until we see and meet again

dad,  although you drove me and many others absolutely crazy we wouldn't have wanted it any other way. who will I complain to, who will ask me a thousand times a day "who's lovin there dad " who will remind me every day im just like you , & who will just look at me and say "you're something else"? the answer is no one . my heart is completely broken and this will be very very hard for me to get over and go on with life because right now nothing seems to matter and nothing feels right . you made such a huge impact on so many people's life . you were so smart and funny and kind . i wish you didn't have to go . i would do anything to just see you one more time . but i know you're happy and heathy and that's all I've ever wanted for you . I know it's been rough for you these past few months . you're so strong , I couldn't imaging going through the pain you went to every single day. i love you so much dad ❤

Gwen & Bill , My heart breaks for you , I can't imagine your loss. I remember my Mom saying,  when Eddie passed away at 39 , "it's just not right for your child to go before you " . I will pray for your family as you walk this very hard road . A verse that has meant a lot to me is Isaiah 40 :31 , maybe it will comfort you just a little. Martha Jimison Creighton

Patrick,

You are very loved and you will be very missed.  I am so thankful for your friendship!

Love,
Em

I am so very sorry for this tragic loss. Pat was a truly great man who loved his children beyond the moon and back. We had great talks and a lot of laughs. Always a kind soul who will greatly be missed. My thoughts and prayers are with the entire Coffie family in this time of heartache. May God grant you all peace and healing during this time.

Sending Loving thoughts and prayers to the entire Coffie Family.Helen McCormick

Where do I begin, well let's go back to when we were 17. When we had no care in the world but us and when and where we were going to have car day. You  persuade me and  persuade me until finally I said yes. You wanted to take me for a ride  in your corvette. So that's what we did. And the rest is all history. We had some many awesome times together. From are trips to Toronto to Florida to our most favorite place Myrtle Beach. And along our journey together we created these two amazing girls that I wouldn't trade for a minute. Patrick, you have drove my absolutey crazy but, you know I wouldn't have changed a thing. I have always loved you and never will stopped loving you. I will miss phones calls or text messages say... Is sara loving her pat today. My answered would be haven't stopped. Or the text messages that said... What's the love of my life doing. I would say I don't know. Why don't you text her. He would always answer... I just did. So just know I never stopped loving you. You are my dearest friend my deepest loved. You are the very best of me.  I ❤u!!!!!!

pat I wish I could have said one more thing -I love you and will miss you FOREVER- I was in shock when you first passed away but when I got home I fell into tears.You made me very happy uncle pat RIP

My dear Patrick,
My heart hurts soooo much, I can't even put my greif into words. Your death is one of the hardest things I have to accept, and that my life will never be the same without you in it. I will forever miss your jokes, your smile, and your laughter. I was blessed that God let me have this special relationship with you and your family all these years. Patrick I love you, and you will be in my heart forever! This is not just a goodbye, just a farewell until we meet again. I will miss you now and forever more!

                                    THE BREVITY OF LIFE

YOU WERE BORN INTO THIS LIFE CRYING. YOU DEPARTED THIS LIFE LEAVING OTHERS CRYING.

I CRY TODAY, NOT FOR MYSELF, BUT FOR YOUR DAUGHTERS. I CRY TODAY, NOT FOR MYSELF BUT FOR YOUR MOTHER. I CRY TODAY NOT FOR MYSELF, BUT FOR YOUR BROTHER AND SISTER. I CRY TODAY, NOT FOR MYSELF, BUT FOR THE MANY FAMILY AND FRIENDS YOU LEFT BEHIND. I CRY TODAY FOR MYSELF BECAUSE I WAS UNABLE TO TELL YOU GOODBYE.

THE PERSONAL STRUGGLES YOU FACED TOOK A TOLL ON YOUR BODY, BUT YOU HAD A KEEN MIND AND WERE ABLE TO SHARE YOUR PERCEPTIONS OF LIFE WITH SO MANY PEOPLE. OUR DISCUSSIONS OF LIFE AND DEATH MADE YOUR DEPARTURE EASIER TO ACCEPT. KNOWING WE WILL ONE DAY BE TOGETHER AGAIN IN INCORRUPTIBLE BODIES MAKES YOUR DEPARTURE EASIER TO BEAR.

I WILL SEE YOU "IN THE MORNING"!

Pat, you were the best little brother. This time I couldn't ptotect you. I can't tell you my love for you. Rest peacefully!! I love you Patrick I'm sorry

My Sweet Pat was the most kindest funniest man ever. Always had a silly kind word and had much love for his 2 sweet girls. I will miss him forever.

One memory I have is whenever I walked through the door into my grandpa's house he always said " hi Livvy". And I'm really going to miss hearing him say that. -Olivia Coffie
