To The Mannix
Mr. Pat wired my house when it was built.
Whenever I had a problem with the wiring I would always call him and he would come or tell me what to do.
He will be missed.
Praying that God will comfort the Family during this time of sorrow.

Dear Mannix Family,
It’s really hard to believe our precious Mr. Pat has left us. We praise Jesus for all of the sweet memories we have of him. He was so kind hearted and always fun to be around. He was like an “adopted” uncle. Our kids loved him too. We are praying for the peace that only Jesus can give to surround each of you. We love all of you. So sorry Randy, he was one of the greatest and he meant so much to Daddy. Love Steve and Cristy (Reeves) Bachman
Thank you so much
