April 5, 1984 - July 11, 2025
Our family lost one of their own last week. On July 11, Thomas Patrick (Pat) Waite, our oldest son, succumbed to the horrible scourge that is drug addiction. An accidental overdose laced with fentanyl took our beautiful, tortured boy forever.
Pat had scratched and clawed his way to sobriety many times in his life, sometimes for several years, only to be drawn back into the dark pit that is drug abuse.
When sober, Pat was charismatic, hilarious, and clever; people were drawn to him. His verve and energy filled the room.
Our world has lost a very bright light.
His passion was music - he could play almost any instrument, it was seemingly instinctive to him.
Pat is survived by his parents, Ann and Thomas Waite, his brother, Daniel Waite, and his longtime loving companion Danielle McMorris, who was his rock and our hero.
Your long journey is over Pat
Rest in the deepest Peace
