Where do I begin? I don’t even know. There were so many good times. Pat. He was such a good guy, I feel like I grew up with him even though I only knew him for five years. When I first met him he was barely out of high school, kind of shy and loved to party, I am pretty sure the first night we hung out he puked in the back of my car when we left him there to go eat in saturn, ha ha poor guy. But he defiantly redeemed him self by cruzing over the next day to clean it up. In fact all those days were so good just hanging out every weekend, I would actually anticipate the up coming weekend just because I knew everyone would be hanging out, all of team coors that is. Even though I was straight edge then I felt like I could relate to pats party like ways. It was just good times. I remember when Johnny and Pat took over my house to throw probably the biggest party at my house, I didn’t even care that there was beer everywhere and people drunk everywhere. The next morning pat rounded up all the empty beer bottles and cans and took them to the recycling center in the k-mart parking lot ha ha. I think he made about nine dollars. There were so many parties, but one epic memory I can recall was when Pat had a party his cousin’s house up freedom blvd. So many things should be left unsaid about that night, but it was extremely funny watching pat do his laundry in his underwear the next day. Being in a band with Pat was totally different from his normal personality. When I first joined he made it seem like the band was all about having fun and it really was, but he took the band really serious and he treated it like it was the most important thing to him, and I know it was. I feel like so many people he hung out with in the team coors days inspired him with music. I and others would take him to shows and always talk about what bands stood out and what bands didn’t. He went on to tour and to do everything that he dreamed about. Pat was literally the heart of the band. I feel so special to have been a small part of that for the short time I was playing on stage with Pat. I highly respected how much passion he had for the bass being as I am a person who has great passion for music. Breaking edge I think brought me closer to Pat. This past summer I can count so many times I would just roll over there and just hang out in his back yard and totally forget about time just talking about random shit. I would think this past summer is probably the most time I’ve ever spent getting to know Pat and even the best times I’ve ever spent with him was the tour this summer. We went all over this country together talking about girls, family friends. I loved sharing so many things with you this summer man, I cant stop crying while I type all of this because it makes me think of all the good days, the good days that I will miss and never be able to replace with anything new. I loved you Pat, Everyone loved you. You will be missed and remembered. <3 jamesy poo
