Michael Ray Patrick

Michael Ray Patrick, born May 3, 1955 to Barbara Johnson and Raymond James Patrick left our world to join his parents on the other side on August 12, 2020 after a long courageous battle with cancer.

Michael worked most of his life for Geneva Steel where he was a foreman until they closed.  He went to high school and most of his school years in Nephi, Utah. He overcame dyslexia and taught himself to read. He then obtained his associate degree in Business Management from UVSC.

He loved photography, camping, four wheel driving, shooting, riding ATVs, going to the Moab Car Show, Moab Jeep Safari, the car races and watching Nascar.  He was an avid bodybuilder and enjoyed working out at the gym. Mike had restored several old cars and hot rods which we enjoyed at the Moab car show.  Mike was so creative in building and inventing one of a kind things.  He changed his whole entire backyard into an old-fashioned ghost town and would create the most awesome camp trailers that were versatile and easy to use. He loved the company of many friends and threw the best parties at the saloon that he built in his ghost town.

He was preceded in death by his mother Barbara Johnson, his father Raymond James Patrick, his brother Duane Bills, and his grandmother’s Ruth C. Davis and Irene Johnson.

He's survived in death by his daughters Brook Patrick, Angie Brandt, his ex-wife Karen Patrick, and his granddaughters Tausha Brandt, Kami Brandt, and Stormy Brandt. He had three great grandchildren Khyron Brandt, Ennovy Brandt, and Rosalie Brandt; He is also survived by his brother Blaine Bills, his wife Kathe, his sister Cathy Johnson and her husband Laron. Along with many other aunts, uncles, nieces, nephews, cousins, and many great friends that he considered family.

We all love you and will miss the joy you brought to our lives. We can all say goodbye with a neighborhood salute and know that it means we love you.
