Pat will really be missed by all that knew him. He was a one of a kind, once in a lifetime fun person to know. He went to French High School with our kids and ate many meals cooked by Lea when we lived in Beaumont. We had so many good times and we always kept in touch with him though out the years. Lea and I stopped by his antique shop in Sour Lake a few months ago and as always, he was the same Pat laughing and joking with us as usual. People loved him and so did we. RIP PAT.

Oh My Goodness… We’re just now learning that Pat has passed away!!! He was so dear, kind, funny, helpful, generous… just a really wonderful person and a fine owner of Sour Lake Antique Mall. We’ve only had a booth at SLAM for less than two years, but we’ve really enjoyed it… thanks to Pat.
MAY GOD REST HIS SWEET SOUL!!!
So sad to see this, Pat was such a nice person, met him when he did a glass repair job for my family, as City Glass. Continued to visit with him as a member of the credit union I worked for, always a hard worker, kind person, and definitely always left you with a smile! I have not seen him as much since I retired, but did stop in several times at the Antique Mall, and he was always such a nice welcoming person. I offer my sincere condolences to his family, and all his friends, may he rest in peace.
I am going to miss Pat so much. His funny post, his laughter,and our porch sitting some evenings waiting for Gina to get off work and come home. When we lost our grandson Dakota, we worried we would lose Gina for over a year She met Pat and he was her salvation, made her happy and full of life again. There will never be another Pat in this world, and my heart breaks for Gina, and his family. I hope he and Dakota get to know each other and see what Gina saw in his heart. I love him, and miss him so much. Until we see each other again, you fly high son. RIP.
Rest Well Mr Pat
Forever in our hearts n memories

Thank you Jay for the kind words. Yes he will be missed with his silly self.
I met Pat back in 2015 when I walked into his Antique shop on my lunch break one day. And for years I would go up to his antique shop several times a week on my lunch breaks. I loved browsing the shop and laughing with him. My go to for any antique advice, Pat was such a goofy, caring person and will definitely be missed..♥️
Pat was a friend that I will never forget. We would sit and laugh until we hurt. My grandson and I enjoyed visiting with him and shopping in his mall. I couldn’t believe that he & Donnie were brothers as they are so different. Donnie and I worked at GSU/Entergy for many years. My heart hurts for Pat’s family and friends. There is only one Pat.

Pat was such a great guy. Known him for 6 years. Went into his Antique Mall, rented a booth, been there evey since. He smile and his picking I will greatly miss. Went in Saturday the 2nd to pay rent. He was worried about me. I was having surgery the coming Friday the 8th. Envied him to my church for ybe 4th, he told me he would try and make it. He didn’t. He cared about everyone that crossed his path. I will truly miss my friend. I thank God, that he allowed our paths to meet.
Thank you for the kind words Linda , his shop was special to him. Sure his vendors and customers alike will miss his presence.

Thank you for the kind words Janice …
My sweet, witty, sexy, handsome, and hilarious friend, what am I going to do not having you to call. You were a bright spot in my mornings, when I had the restaurant next to your Antique Mall. You would come to work early just so we could solve the problems of Sour Lake, and your past and present women in your life. You had so many that we only covered a few a day. My husband would come see you at least once a week, to bring you food and check on your well being. He came 3 times the morning the blue note was on your door. My heart fell, I knew it wasn’t good. Until we meet again, RIP MY 😇 🙏🏼🙏🏼
Thank you for your kind words Barbara sound like you knew my brother well! He loved to make people laugh and love all his friends. He will definitely be missed.
