Thomas William Patrick, Jr., age 65, of Houston, TX, died on the 12th of October 2011, at his home.

Tom was born on the 9th of October 1946, in Corsicana, TX, to Thomas William "Billy" and Frances Crowe Patrick.

Tom was a 1965 graduate of Robert E. Lee High School in Midland, Texas. He then attended Texas A&M University graduating in 1969 with a bachelor's degree in economics. Tom was the Adjutant/Inspector General of the First Brigade Staff of the Corps of Cadets and was commissioned as a Second Lieutenant in the U.S Army from 1969-72.

Following honorable discharge from the Army in 1972, Tom began his insurance career in San Francisco, CA.

Tom is survived by his son, Brian Patrick, of Fort Lauderdale, FL; and Angela Patrick of Houston, TX.

He was preceded in death by his mother, Frances; father, Billy; and brother, Michael Patrick.
