He was preceded in death by his parents; his sister, Jo Ellen Brennan; his brothers, Terry Brennan and Dan Vereker.

Many people knew and loved Pat, Dad, Uncle Pat, and Pops.  They knew him as an amazing nurse.  They knew him as a coach.  They knew him as a friend.  They knew him as a prankster.  They knew him as a kind ear to listen to them when no one else would.  They knew he liked to be one with nature.  They knew him as a man of his word.  They knew him for his love of the Reds and Bengals.  They knew him as a man of quick wit.  They knew him for his fondness of westerns.  For his love of anything to do with native american style.  Pat loved playing Pitch with friends, walking the trails of Joyce Park, and running the dogs.  He loved camping and fires and late night talks.  He loved his Irish heritage and making green lasagna on St. Patrick's Day.  He loved giving people nicknames and making people laugh.  He also loved teaching people lessons while living life to the fullest.  He was always "good" and behaving by his standards and tried not to judge people by theirs.  He was small, but mighty.  And probably lived a hundred lives in his 72 years, and didn't get lost one time (he only took the scenic route).  Pat will certainly be missed by many; as he would say, we'll see you on the flipside.  Yá át tééh (Yah-te-hey)
