I am married to Pat's brother Johnny. I remember Pat always calling me "Sis" from the first time he met me.I remember when he came to Minnesota for our son JR's wedding in August of 2008.Our son was so excited that Pat came it meant alot to us and JR to have him there. We had such a good time visiting and sharing that "Special Day"! We will always remember his smile and laughter. We are all blessed to have had Pat in our lives. Love and Miss you Pat. Mary

Pat Larkie,you was an inspiration to a lot of people.I know that if you knew pat he was always there for you,no matter what the problem was he was always there to listen to your problems and give ya advice when ya needed it,and there was times he would give you advice wether you wanted or not,lol.Pat never met a stranger,all it took was for you to say hi or how ya doing and thats all it took,and you had a friend in pat.There was'nt anything that Pat could'nt do,from a to z Pat could do it.Well Pat was one of best men I ever knew,and I truly miss him everyday.He might be gone but he will never be forgotten,LOVE YA PAT AND MISS YA LIKE HELL
 

 My best memories was when you taught me how to roof. I LOVED IT. And the times I would take you back and forth to your Dr. Appointments. We had some interesting talks. You Told me how you wanted things when it came to the end, I did my best. I remember spending night and day with you at your bedside so you can be home. The most funny thing I can remember is when I got the call and was told U had slid out of your wheel chair and was under the table. Lil Hannah & I rushed into town. As usual U was smileing and told Lil Hannah U was under the table caue a storm was comming. She is 3 and remembers that.Everyday when I gave you your shot she was watchin and makeing sure I didnt hurt you. She wanted to be right there with anything I done to care for you. She talks about you all the time and says "Pa-Pa Pat Lives in Heaven & he is in my HEART. The last days was the hardest...You held my hand and we would listen to my Ipod/music. Once in awhile you would give me a squeeze.I dreaded telling Mom to come be by your side cause I knew it wasnt much longer. We made the calls and your Loved ones came to give there final farewell before they took you away. I last spoke with you after the superbowl, you was happy ur favorite team won, told me to tell certain ones you Love them and U said U would be seeing me again soon...I Love & Miss You. I will post more pics as I find them. Love Always, Your Daughter Karen

Pat Larkie... well he was special. His laughter was infectious. He loved old country music, old western movies, animals, flowers, his friends, and his family. Pat had a very large heart that was big enough to hold all of his children. I counted them all once. He had a few dozen sons and daughters. How many of us can say the same?  

He is missed. He is remembered. He is setting at heavens kitchen table drinking coffee with those that went before and arrived after he got there. He is waiting for the rest of us with one of those smiles that make you want to smile back. If there is mischief in heaven you can be sure he is in on it.

Once he hitch hiked down 54 hwy because he promised to he would walk one of his daughters down the aisle for a second time. That is just one of the many reasons Pat Larkie is the greatest man I have ever known.

This is Pat with his grandson, Nathan. Pat had many grandkids, and he loved them all equally, even his step grandkids. Pat was the proudest grandpa you could ever meet. He kept pictures of his grandkids on his wall, and he lived for their visits.

This was Pats favorite spot, he would sit on the floor, next to his coffee table, and watch TV. He was a big Nascar fan, and also liked to watch the world news, and true detective shows. Pat was very much into old movies, especially westerns, and just about anything with John Wayne in it. Pat followed the last election campaigns for our president, and he favored Barrack Obama. I remember the actual election night, Pat called me many times to gloat that his candidate was in the lead, he was so excited!

This is an old house that Pat bought. He was always so proud of this house. It was run down, badly in need of repair, but Pat loved it. He made it a true home for his lifelong friend, my mom, and for my little brother and his girlfriend. Pat put the time and work into making it a livable home, he replaced the front porch, replaced the bathroom floor, and leveled a floor in a bedroom. He kept the yard neat as a pin, planted flowers in old tires he converted into flower beds, and placed landscape timbers along the walk for additional flower gardens. Pat collected antique yard ornaments, such as old wagon wheels, and an old plow. He placed these in his yard. He also collected figurines, he had frogs, angels, hedgehogs, even a squirrel or two. Pat had so many plans for this house, but his illness came on fast and he never got to complete them all. This house was always a sanctuary for me, or for anyone who needed a place to feel safe, and loved. This house is also the place where Pat breathed his last breath of life, he passed on in the living room of this house, surrounded by those who loved him. I purchased this house from a finance company soon after his passing, but it will forever be Pats house. It will be a tribute to the greatest man I have ever known.
