[QUOTE="Eddyj, post: 669794, member: 3779"] I've only got the chance to know patrick the last two years. I started a group text with him and someone else completely for my own benefit. From that text we each added a buddy except when "holms" added his buddy he said add this guy he is my brother. From that day the six of us have talked as a group at least once a day. I know it sounds like a bunch gossiping high school girls, but that group of guys were from different states and for some reason that text has lasted over a year. We have wheeled together, helped each other, gave each other advice and fellowship when needed. We joked that we were FIF. (Fake internet friends) but with patrick it was different. He was 100% himself in text, in person, on the phone, around his wife... he was always himself. Never wavering in his actions. That is a rare traight these days. He never bragged however he was competive. He never talked bad about others however he could trash talk with the best of them. He was cool but very approachable. I don't have many "real friends" because of my lifestyle. He was one of them. Me and him clicked as he did with many others. I think he was easy to get along with because he was so real. I've been driving all day and my thoughts are a little scrambled, as I am still trying to wrap my head around what has happened. The one thing I keep thinking about is we all knew Holms as the wheeler who CHM. But there was another side to him. The teacher, he taught an automotive class. I can't help but think about all the kids lives he touched with his calm, cool and collective approach to things mechanical. I'm saddened that there will be more kids coming up this year who won't get to experience his class. In this world we need more hands on people and the only way to get that is with hands on knowledgeable teachers like himself. Every now and then he couldn't help but brag on one of his students. He really did want them to succeed. I don't know why I wrote all of this. Maybe it was for some of his loved ones to read, maybe it was to honor a good man, or maybe it's just a way for me to cope with what has happened. Either way please continue posting good and funny stories and memories you've had with Patrick. Let us celebrate his life. We are not promised tomorrow... [/QUOTE]
