Patrick spoke often of his friends from childhood and was blessed to have the Gulf as his backyard playground, always connected to the water. He began to appreciate the woods and trees and Gaia with hiking and camping in recent years, where he could ground into mother nature. He loved all things nature, flower to trees to water and all beautiful creatures we share this planet with with the presence of mind, he knew we all are connected.
Patrick lived each day in the present. He traveled with the Army and contract work years ago and in that he got to see a little bit of all the world. He was always a smile that would light up a room. He would make you feel effortlessly happy, grounded, okay, it was his gift all through his life. His smile and calm was his gift and everyone that connected with him knew this...

Finally, he leaves behind his wife, Ginger Hammer who was with him at the last second of life in this plane. They have been together over 25 years currently with 6 rescue furbabies who love their daddy. Their first few years were rought but they persevered and with each passing moment, every day, month and year, Their love grew stronger and closer and more real than anything they have ever known. Patrick and Ginger always said they are the one perfect person as they raised each other up where one may lack...perfect together. One together. She will meet him on the ring of Saturn and they can fly wherever they want and can become one again, as is by design. Namaste and know, all there is to know is already in you.
Love will always be the answer. Namaste!
