Patrick enjoyed deer hunting with his dad, fishing (especially “Fishing Has No Boundaries”) in Bemidji, MN each year where he made many new friends. He enjoyed painting and displaying at the craft show & fair because he loved visiting with people and never forgot anyone. He always enjoyed playing board games and doing puzzles with his nieces. He took great pleasure in picking gifts for his nieces and he certainly knew what he wanted. No changing his mind! He worked baby blocks with plastic canvas that he loved to give away when he saw a baby. He enjoyed listening to the Roseau Rams games on the radio and occasionally taking in a game or two. Patrick enjoyed time at the farm in the summer. He always loved being the “Supervisor” or being put in charge!
Loving family members include his parents, Butch & Pauline Steer; sister, Penelope & brother-in-law, Jeremy and four nieces Josephine, Allison, Natalie and Katherine Van Dyke of Glyndon, MN. He will also be remembered by several aunts, uncles, cousins and many good friends.
