Parton, 74, of Erlanger, a beloved husband, father and grandfather, passed away peacefully surrounded by family on Tuesday, June 18, 2024, at St. Elizabeth Hospice Edgewood.  Born December 17, 1949, in Covington, Kentucky, Patrick led a remarkable life filled with love, compassion, and dedication to his family and friends. After serving his country in the United States Army,  Patrick worked as a railroad clerk at Norfolk Southern for 35 years. 

Pat was known for his kindness.  He was always giving compliments and showing his appreciation for others.  Pat will be remembered for making things fun and his sense of humor.   "Pat and Beth" were always together, whether it was taking long walks, working in the yard, watching the grandkids play sports or taking them on special outings. Together, they created a simple, but beautiful life. 

Pat coached the Kentucky Royals travel baseball team for over 15 years. He remained in contact with many of his players, having an impact on their lives.  While coaching, Pat created the Steve Tanner Memorial Tournament and Foundation in honor of his best friend, who tragically lost his life during the Vietnam War.
