Only a couple weeks after the passing of my grandmother, my dear Uncle Lynn Patterson was involved in a tragic hit and run incident. He was hit by a young man driving on a suspended/revoked license and under the influence of drugs and alcohol. The man hit my Uncle in his attempt to flee the scene because he was scared. The result is that my Uncle suffered a devastating brain injury and died a week later in the hospital. He was such an amazing man and a friend to everyone who knew him. During the holiday season he attended various Christmas parties as the guest of honor, he was Santa Claus. He even visited my house last year. I had hoped that he would visit us again this year...
...but alas it was not to be as he was obviously needed elsewhere. A true giant among men now walks with angels. He will also be deeply missed!
