Patrick was born on February 27, 1949, in Beaumont, TX to Robert and E. Alice (Gardiner) Fletcher. He was raised in Salt Lake City, UT. He married his sweetheart Shanna in 1967 at the Wayfarer’s Chapel in Palos Verdes, CA. Patrick, with his wife, raised his family in West Los Angeles, CA and spent endless hours at the beach with his kids. Patrick was an active member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints and did his best to set a positive example for his family as well as his friends and neighbors. Patrick worked for many years as a Pool and Spa Contractor. He could build or fix anything and always provided for his family. Patrick also instilled in his children a healthy work ethic and encouraged them to pursue their goals. He was also a fun dad and truly enjoyed spending time with his kids. There are too many adventures to list but camping, backpacking, fishing, skiing, surfing, and swimming are a few that come to mind. Patrick was loved by everyone he met. He was a kind, generous, and gentle man. He was funny and was known for wearing T-shirts, shorts, and thongs on almost every occasion except when he went to church. He loved his church and served in many callings over the years. One of his favorite callings allowed him to accompany the youth on camping trips and scouting adventures. He always felt the spirit most when he was surrounded by nature whether it was in the High Sierra Mountains with the Boy Scouts or at the beach catching a wave after a day at work. He also loved to walk. He always had a dog or two and could usually be found around the neighborhood or on a trail with his dogs every night as the sun went down. Patrick was laid to rest at the Minersville City, Utah Cemetery. Patrick will be missed by all who loved him. In lieu of flowers please share a memory if you find it in your heart to do so.
