Pat was known and loved by many in our community. As a prominent man in Carteret County he held positions of trust and strength which he fulfilled with grace and wisdom.

His attention to detail, knowledge and care of patients allowed him to be an incredible leader among his fellow staff. As a member of the Cape Lookout Rotary he was recognized with the Paul Harris Fellow award for his generous contributions.

In Pat’s free time, he enjoyed the outdoors. Whether he was hunting, fishing, surfing, paddle boarding or scuba diving he took advantage of the beautiful Crystal Coast to enjoy his time. The open sky was a joy for him and having his pilot’s license was a true enjoyment for him. His talents also extended musically, he loved to pick away at the banjo, mandolin and the guitar and enjoyed singing with the Carteret Chorale, Carolina East Singers and in the choirs at Ann Street United Methodist and St. Paul’s Episcopal Church. But most importantly, Pat loved his family and spending quality time with them.
