Patrick L. Ford, age 43 of Wilmington, Delaware passed away suddenly on February 26, 2019. He was born in Utica, New York but lived most of his life in Wilmington.
Patrick was a natural athlete. He could usually be found on or around a soccer field or basketball court. After many years with the YMCA youth soccer program, Patrick excelled in soccer in high school earning him all-state status and the nickname The Rolls Royce of Flight B soccer. He was also the captain of his basketball team. Patrick graduated from Wilmington High School in 1995 and went on to play both sports at Delaware Technical Community College.
In 1999, Patrick became a father for the first time. It was his most treasured role. He was a fiercely loyal son, brother, father, husband and friend. He never met a person he didn’t have something in common with and was truly a kind person. Patrick was a lover of life.
The last two months of his life, he was living and working in Dallas, Texas near his beloved Cowboys and was happy.
Patrick is predeceased by his father, Norman E. Ford. He is survived by his mother Veronica Ford, sons Gavin Ford and Tristan Ford and daughter Mia Ford, sisters Kathleen Ford and Melissa Moritsch (Dan), partner Jennifer Ford, nephew Cooper Moritsch and niece Samantha Moritsch.
