Our beloved Patrick has recently passed away. Patrick was born on April 10, 1964. He was only 55 years old. Patrick was a wonderful son, brother, uncle, great uncle, and friend who touched the lives of those around him. He left us unexpectedly. This is a tragic and devastating loss that has greatly impacted the family and we want to do all we can to remove as much of the burden as we can.
Patrick was the fun uncle, always goofing around with the kids. He was known for getting the kids all riled up and then leaving. His nephews and nieces as well as his great nephews and nieces completely adored him. He was always helpful to his family and friends, coming to the aid of those in need. Patrick found his true love in Kim Ward and they were married for twenty years. Kim unfortunately passed away in January 2016, and it left him heartbroken. Patrick also honorably served in the United States Navy. With tears in my eyes and an aching in my heart, I write this. We are all devastated by Patrick’s loss and were not prepared for the high cost of a funeral service. We want to give Patrick the memorial he deserves, to honor his memory and say our last goodbyes.
Patrick was preceded in death by his wife of 20 years: Kimberly Ward Morgan; parents: Mary J. & James Thomas Morgan; nephew: Christopher Morgan and great niece: Melodie Ann Veach.
Patrick is survived by sisters: Peggy Veach, Kathlee3n Steenhusen (Kirk); brothers: Thomas Morgan, David Morgan and many nieces, nephews, great-nieces and great nephews.
