Patrick Brian Alford

Pat, it hurts my heart so much that you're gone. I can't tell you how much I regret us loosing touch a few years back. I remember the first time I met you, back in 2001 when we both worked at Wal-Mart together. You had just started working the overnight shift, and I was in the back unloading a truck and I had System of a Down playing on the stereo, and you walked through the back singing it at the top of your lungs, and I just knew that you and I were going to be friends. Then we would make fun of the crappy music Wal Mart played over the speakers at night. We shared a strong love of the same kinds of music, and I would bring my guitar over and we would jam for hours. I really loved hanging out with you man, and I miss you a lot. I always wondered how you were doing over the years after we lost touch, I just had no clue how to get in touch with you, but I am truly sorry I didn't try harder my friend. I know you had some of the same struggles I have had, so I definitely understand how that goes. I know you are in heaven now, and I know we will meet again one day. Until then, rest well my lovely man, all of my love.
To Pat's family, I am truly so very sorry for your loss. My thoughts and prayers are with you in your time of need. God bless you.

Patrick Brian Alford has left his hard life behind and moved
on to God"s loving arms. He no longer has to suffer the worldly pain he was in.
Patrick had a normal childhood with two parents that loved him and a half brother to guide him, but as time passed things changed and life became hard for him, with descisions that had to be made. He fathered a beautiful daughter named Mia, that he loved and was proud of.but didn't see often. They both will hold each other in their heart and mind forever.

God Bless You and keep you forever in our hearts.
We love you! Jimmy and Carol Ann
