Patrick is survived by a brother, Michael (Sarah) Clark of Iowa; as well as aunts, uncles, numerous cousins, nieces, and nephews, in and around the Bowling Green area. Also surviving are his staff (family) and friends he has made over the past 30 years while in the care of the McClain Group Home/ISL in Hannibal.

Patrick graduated from Mississippi Valley State School and attended Abilities day program for the developmentally disabled. Patrick was a true “Cowboy” at heart. He loved watching old westerns while wearing his cowboy hat and boots, and shooting his rifle at the bad guys. He enjoyed listening to music and watching movies. Patrick was a people person and enjoyed watching people and looking to see what shoes they were wearing. He loved wearing his boots and had a collection of numerous hats that he loved to wear daily. If Pat could not decide between a cowboy hat or a ball cap, he just wore both, donning the nickname “Two Hat Pat”! He had a contagious smile that lit up any room he was in and liked to admire himself in the mirror. Most importantly, Patrick was happy and he knew he was loved. He will be missed tremendously by the ones who loved and cared for him. Ride high Cowboy! A special thanks to Community Loving Care Hospice and James Carey Cancer Center for all their support. Donations can be made to the James Carey Cancer Center in Hannibal.
