Patrick Montrico Dent

We all have a story. Patrick’s story started on October 19, 1971, in Columbus, Georgia. He was educated in the Columbus City School system as well as the Job Corp where he trained as a house painter. Most of his work history was in the fast-food industry. Prior to his illness, his last job was at Ravenna McDonalds. His greatest love was family, but he also had a passion for music, matchbox cars and the joy of friendship.

He is proceeded in death by brothers Andre and Mannix; paternal grandparents Adella & Christopher; Aunts Inez, Nina and Eva Mae. 

 Those longing to see him again and bask in the after glow of a well lived life include: Father, Marvin; Children, Erin, Ashley, Briana, Ciara, Tatyana and Keshon; Granddaughter, Chelsea; Sister, Patrina; Nieces and nephew, Akhevia, Vicente, Cierra, Azaria, and 16 other great nieces and nephews. Special cousins, Clarinda (James), The Brumbleys, Della, Melody, Mico, Kristopher, Drayson, and Angel. Other relatives and special friends include Scott (Lisa) Straw; Linda Sloan, Don Crouch, Matt Lusane and special uncle, William Stevens.

 His last act of kindness was donating his eyes to the Eye Bank. This brings to mind the song that Billy Holliday sang, “Them There Eyes.”
