A graduate of Eunice High School in 1970, "Pat" was indeed a self-made man. For years he was employed as a welder and Foreman for the Oil and Gas industry in LA. and Texas. Always the "inventor", Pat outfitted and retrofitted many pieces of equipment in vastly creative ways. An artistic metalsmith, he fabricated lovely and unique art pieces, including antique metal cemetery cross reproductions. He loved rural living, cooking for the family, and his beloved dogs. What will missed the most is Pat's keen and fine-honed sense of humor, his inventiveness, and ability to analyze situations quickly. Ever the hard-worker, he instilled in his sons the family's work ethic, passed down through family generations, instructing them that the only way to do something is to do it "the McGee way".
