first, I want to express my heartfelt sympathy to the Burns family. Especially to Mr. & Mrs. Burns, Molly, Bridget, & Meagan. I’m incredibly sorry for your loss & I realize that this is something that is just beginning to sink in & will drastically change your lives forever. I hope that I can be there for you like Pat was there for me when I experienced a loss similar to this.

Thank you all for coming. Pat came across many people and would change and influence their live’s in many ways.

it’s only been 132 days since park’s service & here most of us all are again. This time its for my best friend. Pat was a friend to so many. He gathered and brought people together that would never have been if it wasn’t for him. Pat’s personality was much bigger than his physical stature & was so full of life, zest, & an invincibility, that I never thought he would leave us so unexpectedly and so soon. The evening of Willows service, Pat & I were sitting outside talking. We said to each other that if one of us dies that the other would speak at the funeral. I remember telling him what I might say…

“If you thought you were cool, you hadn’t met Pat Burns yet.” He was unique in every sense of the word. A personality that was unlike anyone else’s. He didn’t follow any trends or copy anyone else’s style. In STL, he was the one setting the trends & making up the styles. He was so cool, he had his own vocabulary. One that we could use wherever went so only his crew would know what we were talking about. Words that he made up in his creative & ever brainstorming, Churchillian mind, that I use and have passed on to many people throughout my life. Words like Daryl, key, styzz, rell, sketch, been known, rep, down, gnar, key factors, 2down & many more. He had nicknames for all his friends and the people we’d come across… tino was one of mine. His collo-quial skills were, obviously, of the keyesst order.

He had a charisma, unlike any other, that drew people from every walk of life to him. Wherever we went, he could get along with & become friends with anyone he met. He connected with people from every background, every culture, every race, & every age because of his genuineness, kindheartedness, confidence, & uniqueness. he had incredible amount of street smarts & was a social chameleon because of his ability to blend seamlessly into any social environment. He definitely possessed the gift of gab, meaning, he could speak with eloquence & a fluency that made people listen to him & believe what he said, which he used to make real connections with those whose path he came across.

Pat could bring people together because they felt comfortable with him & trusted that he had your best interest at heart. He wanted to see you happy & made sure you were getting the most & best out of life. He was definitely extroverted in every sense of the word & I would have never met many of the people I know & am friends with, had it not been for him. He was always organizing get togethers, planning adventures, imagining the possibilities the future might hold, or just making sure we were enjoying the moment. This was something that just came naturally & instinctually to him. Seeing happiness & joy in others gave him exactly that, happiness & joy.

pat faced & overcame many adversities in his life & learned something from them all. we all face challenges in life & these things make us stronger & it’s during the difficult times our character develops. it was during his hard times that pats true character shown through. It was the same bright, shining, light that we all had seen before, full of love, kindness, compassion, energy, vibrance, & warmth. it is hard for those virtues to always be radiating through because you are always learning, developing, & growing closer to God through your trials. The evening after Park’s memorial, we talked about how unexpected & tragic death can be & that we gotta take care of ourselves & really appreciate the gift of life that God has given us because we never know what’s gonna happen in the future.

last Thursday night, we kicked it at my place, talked, & chilled in front of the fire. we were making plans to kick it with our boy, Mike corella, who pat nicknamed the Rilla, the Friday after Thanksgiving. We reminisced of the good times back in the day & the exciting, endless, possibilities the future might hold. Neither of us ever thinking or imagining that that evening was the last time we’d ever see each other.

I Know pat is a part of me & has always been because he has helped me become who I am. He’s taught me to be comfortable in my own skin, to do my own thing, to stand up for what i believe in, to rep key factors, to not get 2down, to be the keysest i can be, to be a gentleman of the utmost caliber, & to love my family & friends, along with many other essential things. his passing also strengthens my resolve to remember to always do my best to make the next right choice bc i never know what can happen tomorrow. Thank you God, for letting pat be the person I could call my best friend. I’m going to miss that huge Daryl, l but I know he will always be watching over me, guiding me down the right path, making clear the right choices, helping me to do the next right thing & just like he did for everyone he came across, helping me be the best I can be. That’s who pat was. he brought out the best in all of us because that was his style…… that was the styzz he repped…… That’s what he was down to do. I love you pat & I’m going to miss you bro.

Pat was my friend. He was like a brother when I was growing up. We trusted each other, fought each other and loved each other like brothers. He was my paisan. He was always very generous. He always made me feel like I was part of his family. So did Dan and Shari and all of his sisters. So many memories of Pat have been running through my mind the last few days. I remember when he and Dan took me to California. I was showered in generosity. It was an incredible trip. Too many memories to list here. He was a good person taken too soon. Pat-I love you and know you are at peace. You will deeply missed. Dan, Shari, Molly, Bridget, Megan-I’m deeply sorry for your loss. You are in my thoughts and prayers.

  My heartfelt sympathies to all of Pat’s loved ones. Hanging out at our house, Pat was always one of Jon’s friends who would talk with me and ask me what was going on with me. He often made me laugh with his great sense of humor. He left this world way too soon.

Patrick had a kind heart and a beautiful soul. I will remember the days of running around Racquet Club Ladue in the summers when we were kids. I remember one day I was struggling to learn a new dive and he was super helpful and encouraging. He will be missed by many.

  There was no one like Pat! No matter what he always made people laugh and put a smile on their face! I remember sitting and listening to his stories, thinking is this real or just Pat trying to make me laugh. No matter what was going on with Pat, he always made sure to let me know he was there for me. He had a big heart and wanted to help! The first time I met him I remember saying,”where are you from, you have an accent.” Pat responded,”No girl that’s just the Pat way.” Lol. I’ll always remember you Pat, you were one of a kind! My prayers and thoughts to the family & until we meet again buddy! RIP
