In Loving Memory of James Patton

March 22, 1961 - October 21, 2026

Jim was the son of the late James and Betty Jo Patton and the brother of Debbie and the late Patricia. He is survived by his wife, LouAnn; his children, Felicia (Timothy) and Gus (Miranda); his grandchildren, Haley, Timothy, Mia, Karlee, Michael, Malayia, and Benjamin; and his great-granddaughter, Lila. He is also survived by his nephew, David (Cori); David's children, Gunner, Scarlett, and Payton; and his uncle, Richard, and aunt, Louise.

Jim was a proud member of the United States Army and a member of Laborers Local 53 and 660 for 30 years. He loved fishing and spending time by the lake with his close friend, Chuck. He also enjoyed attending Steelers games with friends and family. Jim had a heart of gold and will be deeply missed.

If you knew Jim, you know how much the dash between the dates of his life meant. That little dash represents everything. It is not about the day you were born or the day you leave this earth; it is about everything you do in between: the lives you touch, the memories you make, the love you give, and the impact you leave on others. And let me tell you, Jim's dash was bigger than most. He was one of the most selfless people you could ever meet. He gave so much of himself to his family, his friends, and even complete strangers. It did not matter who you were; Jim had a way of making you feel that
you mattered.

Jim, you lived a life that mattered, and your dash tells a remarkable story. Your love and the memories you gave us will live on forever.

Godspeed, James Patton. Until we meet again. ♥
