Obituary

Patrick Dean McBride was born May 30th, 1968 in Dallas, Texas. He entered the gates of heaven on October 23rd, 2018 after a brave fight with esophageal  cancer. He was the youngest of four children born to Gary and Judy McBride. Patrick grew up in Richardson, Texas. He graduated from JJ Pearce High School in 1986 and attended Texas Tech University. He lived in Chicago for several years before moving back to his hometown of Richardson, where he resided the last several years. Patrick loved the outdoors. He excelled at so many hobbies. Fishing, hunting, boating and golfing were all passions of his.  He made sure he had all the skis, rafts and tubes for his boat to keep everyone entertained. Even more, he loved just spending time with family and friends. He was dedicated to anyone he loved. He would do anything to help out a friend. Patrick could also fix anything! If someone had a plumbing, car or electrical problem he would take care of it. He was a hard worker, in every aspect of his life. He had a quick wit that gave us so many memories with smiles and laughter. God gave him the gifts of compassion and meekness. He loved deeply, yet quietly. He was a good friend, a wonderful cousin and nephew,  a beloved uncle,  a dedicated brother  and the best son anyone could ask for. We are already missing him, greatly. We know he is experiencing such joy and peace with our Heavenly Father! Patrick is preceded in death by his father, Gary Dean McBride and grandparents, Wayne & Grace McBride and L.D. & Juanita Patterson and cousin Reagan Austin Beene. He is survived by his mother, Judy McBride, brother, Mike McBride & wife, Vickie, his sister, Kelly Terry & husband, Max, his  sister, Amy McBride, his niece, Mackenzie McBride, his nephews, Max Terry Jr., Jake Terry and Matthew McBride and wife, Katie.

    Most of my childhood memories include your family and all our church family. I’m so sad for the loss to this world but happy there’s no more suffering for Patrick. What a blessing to have family and friends who took such great care of him until his home-going. Love you guys and have you in my prayers.

    Years ago, I shared a very memorable moment with my uncle Patrick. It was shortly after 9/11, and he was producing at the time. Patrick had taken me to a shoot for Nickelodeon at a mansion in North Dallas. It was a Sunday, and when we left, we were headed back to Richardson as Mackenzie and I was staying at Grandma’s that weekend. I had finagled my way out of church that morning. As we were headed back, they interrupted the radio broadcast with a bulletin. We had just dropped the first bombs in airstrikes on Al Qaeda and the Taliban in Afghanistan. Patrick and I listened intently to this welcome report. In the wake of the attacks on September 11th, this was big and powerful news for our still grieving nation. We were all waiting for action and now it had begun.

    Patrick was very patriotic if albeit quietly in his own way. He understood the significance of what we had just heard. Knowing how many friends and family were in Church at that very moment and thus oblivious to this very significant event, Patrick took a detour to the church. When we arrived, we walked into the sanctuary and down to the altar. I quickly found Grandma, and took a seat while Patrick quietly interrupted Glen in the middle of his sermon. A few moments later, Glen addressed the congregation with the positive news and led everyone in prayer for our military members overseas and their leaders at home.

    However, one of my fondest memories of Patrick was in a pool hall—likely up later than I should have been. I was undoubtedly the youngest person in the place, and by that I mean the only one under 21. That night Patrick introduced me to the rules of Pool—not the tournament rules—the bar rules. He taught me how to break—using the force of your whole body and not just your arms. Oddly enough, I always associated his advice with a moment in Happy Gilmore when Chubbs says, “it’s all in the hips.” This is the kind of life advice young men should be learning from their uncles, and I am thankful that Patrick was there to provide it and so much more to me growing up. To this day I still remember Patrick and that night every time I crack a cue ball. Love and miss you, Matthew.

    Patrick & I were very close many years ago when we both resided in Chicago. We both moved & hadn’t kept in touch which seems unbelievable. Since we were so close.A mutal friend had let many of us know of his passing. I find this news so heartbreaking. Rest peaceful now my friend. May God Bless you all.

    The Wendel family met Patrick in the 80s when he was working on production and my brothers modeling. Since their first shoot together, Patrick instantly became part of our family. Life will definitely be different without Patrick and we are all better for knowing him. His quick wit and honest, sometimes brutal advise, comments and downright loyalty and unwavering friendship can never be replaced nor forgotten. His place in this family will never be replaced and We will cherish every memory and moment we all shared in all our own ways. We are so blessed to have so many memories, which all usually start and end with a burst of laughter. Good times always with Patrick, through both fun and hard life times. Cheers to the most reliable, loyal, honest, caring, fun and witty man around. Thank you to Patrick’s family for sharing him with us. We truly loved him. Please rest in peace our dear Patrick. Or as our mom calls him affectionately… Pattycakes.
    Sincerely,
    Bud & Mary, Melissa (Justin Muro), Brad & Erin, Chris & Triston, Jeremy, Jessi (Matt Fromm) & Alex Wendel
    From Norridge (chicago) with love ❤

    I became acquainted with Patrick ‘Martha’ a few times through a mutual friend Scott Young. He was a joy to get to know and be around. My prayers to his family and many friends.

"If I could give 6 stars I would. Aria made a difficult easier to deal with by basically taking care of everything in an efficient but very empathetic manner. I can speak highly enough of Dusty Martin, who helped us with all of the planning and logistics. He was incredibly understanding and helpful."

"Nothing prepares you for the grief you go through when losing a child. I called this funeral home at 2:00 am broken and could barely talk. The amount of compassion and empathy they showed me immediately let me know I found the right place to cremate my son. I cannot thank them enough for their professionalism, SINCERE concern, and commitment to making sure my son was honored in the most respectful way. I hope this Funeral home values her as much as my family and I do."

"I can’t say enough about how helpful and professional Dusty Martin, the funeral director at the Aria Cremation location on NW Highway has been. From my initial call, he was kind and informative. My friend died at home while on hospice and she was picked up in about an hour after receiving the call from the hospice nurse. The person who arrived to pick her up was also very professional/respectful and allowed us to take as much time with her as we wished. When I met with Dusty the next day about arrangements, he explained the process and options available without being pushy or trying to “sell” extras. Throughout the process, he kept me informed and, for example, was careful to be certain I understood the cost of the obituary I wanted and offered some options for reducing that cost if I wished. When I stopped by for another reason and started talking about some of the problems I was having with the pictures and media I hoped to use at a memorial lunch I was planning, he not only listened patiently but offered technology advice and let me use his personal media player. I have had experience arranging cremations for four others using two other local companies, and this experience with Dusty at Aria has been by far the best one I have had."

"My Daddy’s service and our family experience at Aria Northwest Highway was truly blessed. Funeral Director Dustin Martin is the kind of person that you would like to see on a more regular basis – but in his industry – you hope to not see him that often. That being said – THANK YOU DUSTIN for your unending kindness, compassion and friendship through the process. Meeting you and discussing Dallas History, Find A Grave and my Dad’s lifelong contributions to the great City of Dallas was simply wonderful! In memory of my dad James A. Dodd, Sr. – I want to personally thank you and let you know that you made everything better in that moment. Your calling to “Be There” is spot on. Aria has a one in a million guy in you! Bling Blinky of TEXAS Shout Out: God Bless You!!"
