Patrick is survived by his brothers Frederick, John, and Louis. He is also survived by his sister in law Laura Barney, niece Elizabeth Ryan Barney, and nephew John Patrick Weber Barney.
A friend to everyone he met.
We were blessed to have a close friend of Patrick’s send us a note with this song, “Always Trust Your Cape” by Guy Clark.
These lyrics she thought captured Patrick best.
"All grown up with a flour sack cape
Tied around his dreams
He was full of spit and vinegar
He was bustin' at the seams
He licked his finger and he checked the wind
It was gonna be do or die
He wasn't scared of nothin' boys
And he was pretty sure he could fly
He's one of those who knows that life
Is just a leap of faith
Spread your arms and hold your breath
Always trust your cape"
Patrick had you at hello. A loving, fearless, warrior.
