I've met Pat at a boogie in Spain and he was a great guy to hang around. He was the opposite of a skygod. Almost convince me to jump a 176 to do CRW. My buddy Jamie got more balls and did CRW with Pat and they end up on the cover of skydive mag.

Fly free Pat and it was an honor to known you.

Regards,
Jean-Arthur Deda.

Very sad to hear this news.

I met Pat in Empuria and Teuge and he gave me valuable instructions in CF and a lot of nice jumps to remember.

Rest in Peace Pat.

All,

I’ll bet my life savings that he’s got Mary by the ankles and screaming in a “Drag plane” with a perturbed novice Jesus on top piloting the Stack and wearing a 143 Lightning without a Cypres!


For Pat’s family,

Although Pat has left a significant hole in the world of CRW, I’m sure that this is hole is relatively insignificant in terms of magnitude in compared with the hole that he has left in your lives.

You have my sincerest condolences,
Andrew Turner

PS. Pat, if you could have a word with “The Big Cheese” and secure us a good weather slot for the forthcoming CF road show weekend at Hibaldstow then that would be great. I look forward to jumping with you
