Pat 'Phil' Phillip Patterson
1965 – 2023
Edmond, Oklahoma
Phil left this world on May 3, 2023, comfortably surrounded by the people he loved the most.
He is forever remembered by his loving parents Pat and Gayle Patterson. Devoted siblings Trish Soave, Amy Gullett, and John Patterson. His son and daughter, Ryan and Sofia Patterson. Grandchildren, Kolsyn and Brantly. And his best lifelong friend, Joe Weeden and wife Melinda. As well as so many cherished friends who fulfilled his life and brought him joy.
Phil was born in Des Moines, Iowa on April 9, 1965, then moved with his family to Oklahoma when he was six months old. After graduating from Edmond Memorial High School, Phil received a culinary degree from Oklahoma State University. Longing for more, Phil enlisted in the United States Marine Corps where he proudly served. Upon leaving deployment, he met the love of his life, Jackie, and moved back home to start a family.
In October 2022, Phil was diagnosed with glioblastoma, an often-fatal brain cancer. More than 10,000 individuals in the United States will succumb to glioblastoma yearly.

Visitation will be held from 5:00 PM to 7:00 PM on Wednesday, May 10th, 2023, at Mathews Funeral Home, 601 S Kelly Avenue Edmond, OK, with the family present to greet friends and guests.
