John Patrick Gamble

MEMPHIS - John Patrick Gamble, 52, died unexpectedly in Memphis, Tennessee on April 22, 2022.

Pat was born on November 24, 1969, in Charlotte, North Carolina, the youngest of three sons born to Charles Philip Gamble and Sally Holbrook Gamble. Pat attended high school at Virginia Episcopal School in Lynchburg, Virginia and returned home for his senior year at West Charlotte High School with the “storied” class of 1988. Pat graduated from Rhodes College in Memphis, Tennessee in 1992.

Pat worked as a food broker for several years before embarking on a 26-year career in commercial real estate, nearly all of which was spent at CBRE representing tenants in office leasing. Pat was a multi-year winner of the Memphis Area Association of Realtors Pinnacle Award and was named Broker of the Year for Office Leasing in 2005 and again from 2011-2013. Pat was also a member of the 2008 Memphis Business Journal’s Top 40 Under 40. Pat was well-respected by his peers, and his involvement throughout the Memphis community was valued and expansive.

Pat enjoyed learning, reading, and listening to music of all genres. Pat was a Boy Scout, and his enthusiasm for hunting and fishing only increased as he matured. He was passionate about food and cooking, and he loved perfecting new dishes in his outdoor kitchen.

Pat is survived by his wife, Anne, and their children, Charlie and Caroline. He is also survived by his mother Sally, his brothers Keith and Eric, his nephews Reese, Oliver, Jack, Michael and Will, and his nieces Claudia, Elizabeth, Ginger and Cate. He was preceded in death by his father Phil.

A memorial service will be held at St. John’s Episcopal Church, Memphis, Tennessee, at 2pm on May 3, 2022, with a visitation in the church parish hall at 1pm, prior to the service.

In lieu of flowers, the family asks that memorials be sent to Rhodes College, or a charity of the donor’s choice.
