I love you

August 11, 2021
Writing this is bringing me to tears to think wow Pat you are really gone… I truly miss you. I think about you quite often and I tell your nephews and niece about you often, they know about uncle Rick who use to ride a cool motorcycle. I remember how you use to pop your head outside your bedroom window every time I would come back home to visit. I miss it so much!!! I still sometimes look up at your window expecting to see your head pop out. I will forever cherish the memories we shared.. your god-daughter C.C is about to be six this year and I wish you got a chance to meet her. Your nephew Gift is now 7 years old, your new nephew who was born In 2018 is three years old and it hurts so bad to know they never got a chance to meet you… I love you little brother and I will always keep your memory alive. My kids will always know of their uncle Rick!!!! 
R.I. P until we meet again(save me a seat in heaven your sensi a.k.a big sister Dadou ❤️❤️

You're always on my mind

September 10, 2015
<p>Tomorrow makes it a month since God gained another angel & it's not getting any easier. Our niece is finally here, she was born last week. She's so beautiful, she looks like our sister & our mom. I'm sad that you won't get a chance to meet her but I'll make sure she knows all about her amazing uncle. Things aren't the same without you & I really don't understand why you had to go so soon. I had a talk with dad yesterday & he said maybe your mission on earth was complete but I wish I had more time with you. I won't question God because I trust him so maybe one day he'll help me understand why you had to die so young. I love & miss you so much. Hope you & mom are in heaven together looking over us! Rest in paradise  mama & Rick til we meet again!! I love you guys & miss y'all so much!!! </p>

Thank You

Patrick I had the privledge of meeting you through my daughter Amanda. The two of you were dating. Amanda had talked about you for months b/4 I actually met you. The day I did meet you, you gave me a big hug said "Hi I'm Patrick, How has your day been?" Everytime you came over you would give me that hug & when you left you gave me another hug & said see you next week. Like Sandra stated, you did love those gushers, but I remember you rolling them up in a fruit roll up.To Funny!!!

You and Amanda had a very special relationship. I watched as the relatioinship grew. I witnessed the caring,honesty,respect,laughter & love that the two of you shared. As a parent, that is the special relationship you wish for your child. You and I had a lot of wonderful conversation. Some were goofy and others serious. You loved a good conversation. There was one conversation that I will always remember. Amanda was getting ready to go out to dinner & a movie when you asked if you could ask me something. The question you asked was is it true that it would take a full months salary for a diamond. Your friend had told you that you would need that amount of money. We talked for about 10 minutes about diamonds. I told you that if the person truely loves you, cost & size shouldn't matter. Then there was that akward sllence that lasted about a minute before you said ''Heres the thing' you went on to explain to me how much you love and care for Amanda. How happy she makes you. You said that is the next step you would like to do but you also said you needed to get a job that can result in a career and you were working on that. I told you the change I saw in Amanda since she started dating you and how happy she has been too. You told me she was happy when he met her. I told you that you make her happiness complete.

The last time I saw you was that Sunday. You were in the other room after just taking a shower. You came into the living room & your hair was all white. Amanda & I started laughing. You said you always wanted to see what you would look like with grey hair so you covered your hair with baby powder. The look on your face was so funny. It took you a long time to get all that powder out. I am laughing thinking about it now. You always made me laugh.

I did get to meet some of your family and friends these past few days. I only wish I could have met them under happier circumstances. I cannot thank your family enough for the hospitality & love they showed Amanda during these past two weeks. You have so many people who love you Patrick. The memories you have left with so many people at the young age of 26 is remarkable.

 To say you will be missed in a huge understatement. I will miss your laugh and sense of humor, but most of all Patrick I will miss how happy you made Amanda.

Thank You Patrick for everything.  Rest In Peace Patrick..

Missing you so much

August 19, 2015

I'm still in disbelief & feel like I'm living in a nightmare & I'm just waiting to wake up to see you in the computer room on Youtube looking up something about motorcycles while eating candy. We had a vigil for you on Sunday & Skylar kept asking "where's uncle Rick". She said she wanted to buy you a present & when we asked her what does she want to get you she said "gushers". Everyone knows how much you loved gushers & I think CC is going to have a sweet tooth as well because the next day Claudine was craving gushers so her, Amanda & I brought 2 boxes & ate them in your honor. This hurts bro, it hurts a lot & I don't know how I'm supposed to live my life to the fullest knowing that yours was cut short. I'll try but this is tough. I'll forever cherish the memories we have & I promise you that as long as I'm alive you'll never be forgotten. Hope you & mama are resting in paradise & watching over us.  Love you guys always, forever plus a day!! 

My Dear Friend

August 18, 2015

Oh, Patrick. I met you when I was in 8th grade, you a sophomore, and my life was changed for the better.  In our last convo, we were catching up and I half-jokingly told you you wouldn't be invited to my future wedding, since you'd probably make a scene. You got mad at me and said that I'd be the best man at your wedding. You lamented over us not talking for a while and called me your voice of reason.  I told you it didn't matter, since you never listened to me anyway, but you said I made a difference in your life, even if I couldn't see it. For years, I cried over you, prayed for you and pushed you to do and be better. You pushed me to be better as well, always calling me out on my B.S.

You even called me your nutritionist for a while, even though you were THE most challenging client-- always calling me while you were grocery shopping and before you cooked something, asking me, "What's the least unhealthy option? Margarine or canola oil?" Getting way too excited whenever you'd find an article that challenged what I told you, dumping all that sugar in your makeshift lemonade, haha. I'll miss those times.

For nearly half my life, you were my family.  My person. The first, and probably the only, person I'd call when I felt my world was falling apart. The one person who would make me laugh when the world told me I couldn't. My biggest cheerleader, my best friend.

When I was going through a pretty hard breakup ages ago, you told me something that really stuck with me and encouraged me.  You told me that the guys that broke up with me then would regret it later because when they settle down and start looking for a wife, they'd be looking for someone like me. Even in our last convo, a few days before your accident, you told me to make sure the next guy treated me like the queen that I am. You always wished me well, even when we weren't on good terms, and always truly cared about how I was doing, even when I was upset with you. Btw, you LOVED pushing my buttons. A little too much. Seemed like it was your favorite hobby; completely over the top with inappropriate behavior, haha.

It's so heartwarming to hear about how much of a great impact you were on so many lives. I wish you were around to hear it all and really take it in, how much you're loved and missed. As we had talked about pretty much everything in life, the topic of death had come up a few times. You were afriad that when you died, you wouldn't be missed or people wouldn't have that many good things to say about you. Well, my "dearest friend of old (as you referred to me)," your time came much sooner than we could have ever imagined. Though it was much too short, you lived such a loving life that people can't help but miss you and talk about how compassionate and funny you were. Real talk: You're truly one of a kind. 

My heart and prayers go out to your friends and family. We lost a great guy,but I have this hope that we'll meet again in paradise. Rest easy, Rick. I'll love you forever and you'll always have a special place in my heart, your "cherry blossom," your "cherieukins" <3 <3

Friend for a Reason, Season, Lifetime...

August 17, 2015

Wow....where do I even begin?.....Patrick.....this is unreal. I just can't and won't allow myself accept this at this point in time. Why?....Why?....God, why??....

Forgive me for any grammatical errors, I'm just writing as I remember....Pat.... we met at Jiffy Lube while you were working on my car. I had seen you several times before when I had to go in for an oil change. We would look at each other for long periods of time and you'd smile that adorable smile of yours. I thougth you were so handsome and full of life. Your smile was infectious. Then there was that day. The day you finally decided to stop staring and actually strike up a conversation with me. From that day onward and for months after we became soo close so fast, it was crazy. You were a very big part of my life in that period of time. You practically lived with me, you'd come with me to work sometimes, you'd cook for me when i was ill and we'd cook together. You were in your health-food phase at that time and would annoy the hell out of me with it but it rubbed off on me and I started cooking healthier (for a little while). You'd come to the office with me and sit there and wait while i did my work. But I could hardly get my work done sometimes because you would find a way to make me laugh uncontrollably or just clown around.  We'd watch Netflix on the floor of my living room or just talk about the craziest things and fall asleep with the fan always on lol.You were sooo funny, I don't think I'd laughed so much as when I was with you. Your jokes and stories were just ridiculous but I loved hearing them. Do you remember the time it rained and it was so beautiful and we decided to lay out on the balcony in our matching gray hoodies, you laying in my arms and just listening to the sounds of nature in the early hours of the morning?.... I was at peace when I was with you. We talked on the phone for hours when we were apart and fall asleep on the phone and even though at first i voiced my dislike of this, eventually I got used to it and then it'd be hard to go without it.  I got used to you being by me all the time. No matter how many times I'd act up, argue or throw a tantrum, you would be so calm and find some way to make me laugh or just chill out or cheer me up. I wasn't the most easy person to get along with but you were extremely patient and non-judjmental. I loved that about you. You would tell me how beautiful I was even when I looked a hot mess. With all my makeup off and my hair like that of mad woman, you still would sit there in front of my face and stare the way you always did and tell me that i was the most beautiful this way. You'd always stare at me for long periods of time and tell me how beautiful I was, and I'd tell you to stop staring lol.  I was so comfortable with you it was crazy. You loved every inch of me, you'd tell me and I believed you. You made me feel like i could just take everything off and just be me. Patrick you were just a different kind of person. I had never met anyone like you.You were sweet and such a gentleman. You'd always stop me from getting out the car so you could come around and open my door for me until I told you to quit it cuz it was not necessary. You gave me hope that chivalry was not completely obsolete. You were protective and I admired your courage in a situation alot of men would not go. You looked out for me. Were always ready to come to my aid.  You were such an exceptional man. You were ALWAYS there.  
I took you for granted sometimes and didn't realize it until things changed. I didn't realize how significant of an impact you had on my life until we started drifting apart.  You came into my life when I was at low point, you were God-sent. You came in at the right time when I needed someone like you the most and although you didn't stay long and we both moved on with our lives, you made a huge impact and I thank you sooo much for being there for me the way you were and listening to me the way you did and making me feel the way you did. I know I will never meet anyone like you again. You are one of a kind and it pains my heart to even have to write this. 
I know how much you loved that bike. It was your baby, your prized possession. You talked about that bike all the time and I'd watch you ride and know you had joy in your heart when you did. You were even trying to get me to take up riding lessons to which i declined. I worried about you riding but then again i worried about everything. To think that you were taken away from us riding the thing that you loved so much hurts my heart. Patrick, I feel a pain in my heart that can't be explained and I've cried and cried and cried and I'm still crying. Why?.....

But we've gained another angel and it even hurts to say this. I avoid driving at the place of the accident because I know I'll just break down. I really can't believe you are not here. I just can't comprehend it. I don't want to. But at some point I know I have to accept it. But I believe we'll all meet each other again. I take comfort in knowing that you are with your mom but it hurts to even think that you're gone too soon, so young....

"Some people come into your life for a REASON, a SEASON, or a LIFETIME"

I believe you came into my life for all three. I will carry your memory with me for a lifetime and I am thankful that God allowed me to meet you and share the time I did with you. I will never forget you Pat. I love you and miss you.

My condolensces to the Beauvil family, loved ones and friends. May the ever-lasting memories you shared with Pat be your comfort and strength through these hard times. 

August 14, 2015

I have many memories it's hard to pin point them all. We used to call Pat "Coco Brother" Because whenever he came to work he had a huge bucket of coco butter with him so he wouldn't be ashy lol. I had dinner with him last month and Took a picture of him while I was in my car following him on his bike. The reason I took the pic was because I was making fun of him the whole day because he put weight on. Me and Pat always clowned each other and with Pats unique personality the jokes back and forth would get pretty weird. Who would of thought that would of been the last pic I took of him. Me and Pat haven't worked together in years however we maintained a great friendship outside the job. He gave me the best advice throughout the years and taught me a lot. He wasn't my brother but I truly feel like I lost a brother. Tonight me and another friend went by the crash site and shared stories we cried some but we laughed more! Despite any tears that I already shed and tears that I haven't shed yet the happy memories I shared with Pat put a smile on my face throughout this. I am sorry for you guys loss and may God Bless his whole family 

Forever love

Patrick, where do i even begin? From the moment i met you I knew that there was special, something different about you. You are the love of my life. I was so sure that you were the one and that i would spend the rest of my life with you. Im still waiting for you to pull in your drive way and come inside being loud like you always did. I loved experiencing all of our firsts together, and now I'm sitting here reminiscing about all of our lasts. I'm so thankful for the time I did get with you, I just wish i had more. You had goals and plans, we had plans. You wanted to accomplish so much in life and I was looking forward to being by your side and supporting you through what I know would be your success.

So many memories keep running through my head and it's hard to put them into words. If we were together every day started with a good morning and ended with us talking about everything and nothing. If we were apart every day started with a good morning and a i love you text, and ended with you calling me to talk about our days and then we would say goodnight and put each other on speaker phone to fall asleep. I find myself hoping for that phone call every night. I miss your smile. I miss the way you always smelled good no matter what. I miss your laugh, i remember always stopping and just admiring you whenever you would sit there laughing. I miss your sense of humor, your rapping/singing all the time over everything. I miss the silly nicknames you would make up for me. I miss the feeling i felt whenever you would hold me. It was like as long as I was in your arms everything would be alright. You had confidence in me even when I didnt have it in myself. We didnt need to do much to enjoy our time together. I loved sitting around and watching movies with you while eating way too much candy, even though we both knew we should have been eating healthier, that was our thing. I miss you coming up and kissing my cheek, which always happened to turn into you biting my cheek. I came to you with everything. You helped to teach me and open my eyes to so much, and I'll always carry all of that with me. You gave the best advice and we're always so level headed. So non judgemental and always tried to see the best in everyone. I miss listening to and watching you do non-stop research on anything you wanted before you bought it, like your xbox and the new exhaust you just put on your bike. You loved that bike so much, not a day went by that you wouldn't talk about it. You just came up to my house this past weekend to show me and my mom the new exhaust. You were so happy and felt so accomplished that you installed it all by yourself. I could sit here all day listing all the memories and things i love and miss. But really, most of all, I just miss you.

You really were one of a kind. No one could ever or will ever compare to you. Your such a huge part of my life. I loved being around you and your family. I never thought I'd be sitting here with your sisters talking about you in the past tense. None of this makes any sense, you were taken from us all too soon. There's so much more i want to say that I just can't get out. You will always have a hold on my heart, and I will carry you with me always. I miss you and would give anything to have you back here. I love you so much Patrick. Until we meet again.

My Amazing Bestfriend

August 14, 2015

For years you've been the only one I would turn to, the only one I would confide in. You were my bestfriend, my rock and even though we weren't blood we were family, my kids called you uncle Patrick, my family viewed you as one of us. 

I remember the night I met you, you were lying on the couch in the basement watching a moving curled up in the blanket.. you moved so I could sit next to you and we started talking, from that moment on we talk almost everyday, when times were tough for either one of us we both knew we would be there for each other. We used call each other every night a talk for hours, our conversation would range from serious, to joking, singing, laughing to crying... hours and no matter what I always looked forward to those calls.. 

Whenever you came up to visit you would always want everyone to get together so we could play Phase 10 or Uno.. Everyone loved you, everyone looked forward to seeing you.  our family camping trips,  our days at the lake or beach, and our nights of movies, no matter what we did you were always happy and smiling. 

You wanted so much more out of life, you had dreams and goals..

I just wish this wasnt goodbye, I wish we could have more time together we still have memories to make. You werent supposed to go so soon, we had plans.. 

You were the one I called for advice, you were the one I called when I just needed someone to listen or when I needed to vent, and vice versa.. Patrick I could never in a million years find anyone to replace you, nor would I want to. This is painful. 

Whenever I said I love you, you would make it into a competition, replying back with "I love you more" and it would go on till one of is got to "I love you times infinity".. well I love you times infinity Patrick.

Wow I'm in shock and in tears jus thinkin bout back and the day's me and yours sisters n you playin house at your house oh lord..... I'm gonna missed you

Forever in my heart

August 13, 2015

WOW!!! I can't believe I'm really sitting here making a memorial page for my little brother and talking about you in past tense. I wish I sold your bike like I wanted to but I thought you'd get mad at me if you came home one day & seen that your bike was gone becasue I know how much you loved your bike. I am lucky to have been your sister and have experienced so much great memories with you but this is a lot to endure. I'll miss seeing your smile, hearing your laugh, hearing you say "have a nice day" or "I love you", I'll miss our talks & even our arguments becasue they always taught me something & helped me grow. We were supposed to go shopping for professional clothing this weekend becasue you were about to start your new job at the bank but now I have to go shopping for something to wear at your funeral. Damn!! This hurts, it hurts a lot and I don't know how I'm supposed to stay strong when I'm so heart broken and feel so weak. I'm trying bro, I'm really trying to hold it together but this is really really tough. You, Peter & I were always the only ones that were ready to go on every rollercoaster at six flags & wanted to sit in the front becasue we loved the thrill but now I don't even want to leave the house let alone ever go to an amusement park without you. I don't know why this had to happen to you but trust me you will never be forgotten. I hope you & mom are resting in paradise & watching over us. I love & miss you both beyond imaginable. Things will never be the same but I will make you guys proud. Until we meet again!! XOXO!!
