Patrick E Nolan

Patrick Edward Nolan, 75, of Westerville, passed away peacefully on June 9, 2024 surrounded by his loving family. He was born on July 24, 1948, in Columbus, Ohio to the late Robert and Ann (Hults) Nolan. In addition to his parents, he was preceded in death by his siblings, Jim Nolan, Carol Nolan, and Rick Nolan.

Patrick attended Walnut Ridge High School. Following graduation, he worked for over 43 years for Columbus City Schools, Frank Gates Service Company, and Columbus Steel as an IT Executive.

Family was at the center of Patrick’s life. You could always find him supporting his children and grandchildren with home projects, life lessons, and at extracurricular activities and sports such as soccer, swimming, golf, and football. No matter the task, big or small, he was always happy to help. He loved to sing, play golf, watch Ohio State Basketball, and all things cars. Patrick had a passion for traveling with his family. Some of his favorite places to travel to were Hilton Head Island, Topsail Island, Seward, Alaska, and Dingle, Ireland. In his free time, he loved tinkering in his garage, his workshop, or on the computer.

Pat will be remembered as a determined, loyal, honest, loving man who was full of pride for his family. He was a trustworthy and dependable peacemaker who was loved by many. He was witty, had a great sense of humor, and was famous for his one-liners. He is survived by the love of his life and wife for 47 years, Sharlene (Whiteside) Nolan; daughters, Cortney (Brian) Nolan Duderstadt and Shannon (Larry) Nolan Goebeler; grandchildren, McKeon Killen, Layla, Tyler and Grady Goebeler; brother, Denny (Marian) Nolan; sister-in-law, Linda. He will also be missed by a numerous extended family of nieces, nephews, great nieces and nephews, close family friends, neighbors, and his bonus grandchildren Grayson and Mia Goebeler.

To honor Pat’s wishes (no funeral; a party with a band), a Celebration of Life will be held at the American Legion, 393 East College Avenue, Westerville, 43081, on Friday, June 28, 2024 from 6:00-9:00 PM. Family and friends are invited to attend the Open House. A service of remembrance will be held at 8:00 PM.
