He possessed a unique ability to light up any room with his charm, leaving an impression on all those fortunate enough to have known him. His fun-loving demeanor and zest for life brought so much joy to his family and friends.

Patrick is survived by his loving wife, Terry; his devoted son, Britt; and his cherished sisters, Sherry Marlatt and Gail Jenkins. He also leaves behind his brothers-in-law, Larry Jenkins, Larry Walters and his wife Lisa; as well as many nieces and nephews who adored him and numerous friends whose lives were enriched by his presence.

He was preceded in death by his mother, father, and brother, Leonard Dougherty, as well as his sister, Loretta Jones. 

In accordance with his wishes, there will be no service or visitation, and he will be cremated. Patrick's legacy of kindness, laughter, and generosity will live on in the hearts of all who knew him. He will be dearly missed but never forgotten.

In lieu of flowers, the family wishes for donations to be made to the alzheimers association.
