Patrick Worthey

Patrick Worthey, 66, passed away at his residence in Canton, TX on August 14, 2024.  He was born in Rockford, IL on December 23, 1957 to the late Clarence and Billie Ann Ward Worthey.  Patrick attended Hamilton High School and later enlisted into the US Navy, sailing on several deployments from Norfolk. VA and Pensacola, FL.  He lived for several years in Columbus before venturing to Texas to work in the oil and gas industry.  While in Texas, he met and married the love of his life, Brenda Kay Guy on April 25, 1987.  Patrick had a mind that was always eager to learn.  He enjoyed all types of literature, writing short stories and novels, fishing, hunting and taxidermy work.  Extremely creative in engineering, he could build or whittle anything, making several carvings and even building buckboard wagons to pull with his horses.  More than anything, he adored his family, looked at his father as his hero and took great pride in showing his children love by teaching them many things throughout life.  He was passionately involved in the lives of his grandchildren as well.
