Memories and Condolences
for Patrick Caddell

Not sure what to say?





Heidi, Olivia, Travis, and Kate, I met all but Travis when you came to the studio, I was the camera person for Pat when he was doing the show for Fox out of Charleston. We became friends and I want to tell you that you all were his reason for living. He loved you with everything that he had in him. He lit up when he spoke of you. He told me about the cute things the kids said or did, about the dog shows, he absolutely loved you with all his heart. I'm sure you know it, but just wanted to share with you that he spoke of you often and you were the light of his life. Love and prayers to you all. Cynthia

I am deeply saddened by the death of Pat Caddell. I attended Bishop Kenny HS (Pat's school), class of 1970. My sister, Linda Ireland was a classmate of his. I was two years behind Pat. He was a school leader and was always kind, friendly, and approachable, even to underclassman like me. My sister and I and all those around us truly admired his intelligence and strong character. I also admired his work on the national stage and felt proud to be able to say I attended school with him. He will be sorely missed.

Sorry Pat was unable to attend our 50th High School reunion this past Sept.. I understand he had planned to attend same but his flight was cancelled due to inclement weather. I was looking forward to his attendance seeing how I had not seen him since the night of HS graduation. Nonetheless, I am sad that this re-union never occurred and give my regards to his family for their loss. Hope to catch up with him in the Big House in the future.
