We lost our friend Patrick Blessing.  The world lost a son, a husband, a brother, an uncle, a philanthropist, a comedian, a soon-to-be-dad.  Last week we mourned his death and celebrated his life.  We miss him.

My comfort comes in knowing that God enveloped Patrick in His arms. Heaven’s laughter is louder since he arrived. Patrick sang, he danced, he loved.  He didn’t watch life, he lived it.  He was Superman. Peter Pan.  He was loved.

Patrick beat leukemia over 15 years ago and this condition prevented him from qualifying for life insurance.  Mike and I are joining forces with Patrick’s friends and family to make sure that his beautiful wife and unborn daughter are taken care of.  Click Here to view the Memorial Facebook page or Email us directly for more information.

  • G:  “I can see everything with these glasses!”
  • Me:  “You can??”
  • G: “Yeah…I can see Patrick!!”

I believe he could.

  1. Your beautiful tribute has me crying. Even though I never knew Patrick it's clear he was a once-in-a-lifetime kind of guy, and I'm sure the memories have been pouring in. We're mourning for your loss.
