Houston Mayor Sylvester Turner and Missouri City Mayor Pro Tem Jeffrey L. Boney, both delivered remarks relative to their personal connection to Patrick, as well as about the life and legacy of the brilliant young man whose life was ended too soon.
Throughout his life, Patrick actively involved himself in his community. His service to Top Teens of America, Inc., the Houston Police Department Blue Santa Program, and the Fagan Family Community Service Project (known as the Child Developing Center, Inc.), reflects his commitment to improving his community and the world. He unselfishly gave of himself if it meant others would benefit.
