Bryan Clive Patterson

- – My courageous brother, Bryan Clive Patterson died early in the morning of August 7, 2018 from colon cancer. He was born in Needles, California on May 6, 1958.

Bryan loved the Green Bay Packers from the time he was a little boy. Bryan loved playing golf every Thursday with my husband, Rick. Bryan loved riding his bike everywhere -- to work and 100’s of miles a year. Bryan loved his brother from another mother – Mike Johnson. Bryan loved fantasy football and Steven King.

Most of all Bryan loved his daughter and her family – Nikki and Casey Summers and his grandsons – Connor and Cutter and Nikki’s Mom, Kim McClain, or Greta.

Bryan worked his entire life starting when he was a young boy – irrigating fields for a farmer named Mr. Rowland in Peoria. He used to carry our wiener--dog, Alcie, after Lou Alcindor (now Kareem Abdul Jabbar), on his shoulder to kill gophers when he worked. He made $1.50 an hour.

Bryan drove a truck for the same company for 29 years. He paid off his house and his truck and owed no debts in this life.

Bryan was predeceased by our Mother, Billie Jean Shaw and our Father, Roy Clive Patterson. He is survived by Nikki and her family, his sister and her husband, Marjie Patterson and Rick Seifman and his sister Terri Wardell and her husband Steve and their children Riley and Connor.

In accordance with his wishes there will be no services. Please send any cards to 4729 W. Soft Wind Dr, Glendale, AZ 85310.

Whenever I see a guy riding a bike, or a Copper State truck or when Aaron Rodgers throws for a touchdown, I will remember you
