It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of our father, John “Pat” Patterson, on July 28 ^th , 2022. Pat was 78 years old and is survived by his wife of 57 years, Suzanne Patterson, his children Daniel Patterson, Cindy Patterson-Muir, Steve Patterson, and Nanci Patterson, and his 8 grandchildren. Pat and Suzi lived and raised their family in Huntington Beach California, until moving to Utah in 1989. Pat worked as a mechanic all his adult life, owning several service shops in both California and Utah. Cars were his passion, and he regularly had a “project car” taking up space in the garage or driveway, often to Suzi’s frustration. Pat was devoted to the LDS faith and was actively involved in his church and community. He was quick to smile and loved celebrating birthdays and holidays with his family and friends, which usually involved a pool party, barbecue, and homemade ice cream. He loved classic cars, ham radio, fishing, camping, and working with the Boy Scouts of America. Father, husband, mentor, and friend, Pat will be missed by everyone who had the great pleasure to know him.

Funeral services will be held at Walker Funeral Home in Spanish Fork, 187 South Main Street on Wednesday, Aug. 3 ^rd at 11:00 a.m. Family and friends may attend a visitation from 9:45-10:45 a.m. prior to services.
