Michael T. Patterson

January 7, 1957 — July 31, 2023

Michael Thomas Patterson, 66, of Swanton Ohio passed away on July 31, 2023 after a hard fought battle with Leukemia.

Mike was born on January 7, 1957 to Jeanne (Baumgartner) and Billy Patterson. After graduating from Waite High School, Mike began his career as a Boilermaker at H Hansen Industries, remaining with them for 20 years as a Boilermaker welder/fabricator, later moving on in field construction with Local Lodge 85. Mike loved his work, the variety, challenges and skills he learned and also the people he met along the way, many that remained friends beyond his retirement in 2005. He spent his years in retirement enjoying his family and friends, especially his grandchildren. He enjoyed woodworking, telling "Dad jokes" and stories from the past.

Mike is survived by his loving wife of 45 years, Linda; his children, Gregory (Tami Hodge) Patterson and Nicole (Marc) Young; grandchildren, Andrew (Talia Vandersteen) Patterson, Lorelei (Emmitt) Burdine, Max Patterson, Macyn Clark and Dylan, Henry, Simon and Loren Young; sister, Lynn Keogh; brother-in-law, Tom Weiher; father and mother-in-law, Bill and Shirley Wood; and brothers and sisters-in-law, Mark and Julie Funk & Rob and Sallie Jankowski. As well as many nieces and nephews who will remember "Uncle Joy" for his humor, charm and wit.

Mike was preceded in death by his parents, Billy and Jeanne; his daughter-in-law, Amanda (Elliott) Patterson; brothers, Clayton "Pat" Patterson and his wife Gloria, and William "Homer" Patterson and his wife Diana; sisters, Sue Price LeSure and her husband Jimmy, Pamela Kemler and her husband Don, and Lori Weiher; and brother-in-law, William Keogh.
