Patrick was remembered as a strong Catholic with his determined resolve to serve God … to the end. RIP

We didn’t know Patrick very well but greatly enjoyed talking to him on his visits to Kansas. We send our sympathies to the family. Be assured of our prayers. May the souls of the faithful departed rest in peace.

Our deepest condolences to Patrick’s family. May God give you the strength to overcome this sorrow.
We have known Patrick for approximately 20 years. He was one of the first friends we made when we returned to Catholic traditional worship, after a long, painful detour into the marshlands of post-Vatican II Catholicism. 
Patrick always saw the struggle of the tiny minority of traditional Catholics against the official Novus Ordo establishment that emerged from Vatican II as a new David-Goliath confrontation, whose outcome, however, was guaranteed by Our Lord Himself, Who had already “overcome the world”. All we had to do was to keep our faith and never retreat from the battle at all costs. 
This he did unwaveringly, and he carried out his duties of state giving an example to all of us. How can we forget his zeal in starting a small men’s group in our mission chapel, the monthly trips to San Antonio for Mass and for meeting with our brother group there, his monthly newsletter, the prayer sessions in front of Austin abortuaries, the weekly Rosaries we prayed together at nursing homes for many years, the conferences and spiritual retreats we attended together.  Not to speak of the many yearly marches for life to the Texas Capitol. When our Bishop finally joined the marches, they had become quite large, but our small group of traditional Catholics still stood out with its banners and colorful flags (all provided by Patrick) that drew a quizzical look from the Bishop as if to say:” Who are these people?”. 
You have now left this earthly fight, Patrick, but we trust you are still supporting the cause as you have entered eternity. It cannot be otherwise from you, Patrick: US veteran, Catholic warrior in the battalion of Our Lady, compassionate champion of young families, devoted husband, father, and grandfather. 
As for us, we will always draw inspiration from the memory of you doing all with only one goal: Ad Maiorem Dei Gloriam! R.I.P.

My sincere condolences to the family. I worked with Pat several years at ERCOT. He was always great to be around and work with.

So sorry to hear about Patrick's passing.  We at Sunraycer got to know Patrick originally when he was working at IEA, and we were thrilled to be able to bring him over to Sunraycer around the start of the year.  Patrick's steadiness and intelligence were always on display.  I'll never forgot how dedicated Patrick was to the Sunraycer team until the very end - it was truly inspirational and an example of a man who was committed to his craft and the people he cared about in his life.   We'll miss him deeply.  The entire Sunraycer team sends our deepest condolences.

It’s deeply saddening to have heard the passing away of my colleague, Patric Coon. Mr. Coon was very friendly, cooperative and knowledgeable. May God Bless his soul. Amen.

Parick was the process engineer to so many unofficial challenges and projects, he saw what was needed and filled in the gaps. He helped us move forward both professionally and personally with his strong abiding faith and expert knowledge of where our Market need to go. God is glorified in Patrick's life and legacy. Proverbs 3:5-6

Patrick was an edifying example for me and my family.  In particular, his strong faith in Christ. He earnestly wanted Christ to be King even of the "secular world". In all the time I knew him and spoke with him, I saw evidence of many virtues, especially humility, meekness, and charity. He was such an active soldier of Christ. He would drive 4 hours one-way to attend a Traditional Mass. He had the soul of a martyr. He avoided needless arguments and divisions, always keeping his eyes on God, the Blessed Virgin Mary, and heaven. He never let himself get discouraged, even in the darkest hours of the Crisis in the Church. We will miss him at Mass and in the chapel choir. May God reward him for all the service and support he gave to the many faithful priests and bishops he met. He did his part, as much as lay within his power, to build up the Church with his own hands. What an honorable life he chose. Requiescat in Pace.

It saddens me deeply to hear about Patrick’s passing. I remember how patient he was with me when I first started at Ercot. He taught me a lot and made sure I understood the answers he provided. It was an honor working with him. 

Rest in love and light, Patrick. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and wisdom. 

 My deepest condolences to the family during this time of great loss.

Whether you agreed or disagreed with him, laughed or cried, enjoyed a meal or just a walk, Patrick left you better than when you met.   To work with Patrick was a blessing and full of lessons in passionate conviction to service for others.   He never let accolades get to his head and always put others first.  A gentle soul has departed this life.    

May the angels sing your praises and your memories be eternal.

I am deeply sorry to hear about Patrick. I had the privilege of working for him at ERCOT and continued our professional connection after he left. He was an exceptional individual.  My thoughts and prayers are with his family during this difficult time.

These were Patrick’s last words to me. “let us Fight for Christ the King.  For the triumph of the Immaculate Heart of Mary.  Alleluia!” May he continue to be singing the praises of God now and forever.
