Daniel Abraham Patrick

In Loving Memory of Daniel Abraham Patrick Daniel Abraham Patrick passed peacefully at home, surrounded by his loving family. He left this world gently, with dignity and grace. From the time he was a little boy, Daniel loved old cars and trucks. This love carried through to his school journey where he enjoyed every moment in his favorite shop class with his favorite shop teacher, Dan. Daniel later graduated from Carthage High School in 1973. He started working on cars as a small child with instruction from his dad, Glenn. It was the lessons of hard work mixed with the skill taught by his dad and shop teacher that shaped the respected mechanic he became. Restoring old machines was, in many ways, a reflection of who he was: patient, steady, and willing to put in the work to bring something back to life. But more than his mechanical skill, Daniel will be remembered for his heart. He loved God. He loved people. He was a good and honest man who would help any person he could. Above all, he loved his entire family with his whole heart. His favorite role that he cherished was Papa. His love was shown in action and his words. His faith was quiet but steady. He lived what he believed. He was preceded in death by his mother, Esther Patrick; father, Glenn Patrick; sister, Glenda Degonia; brother-in law Paul Degonia; brother, Larry Patrick; and his brothers-in-laws, Ed Milleson and Dan Kuhn. Daniel is survived by his beloved wife, Sheila Patrick; son, Christopher Patrick; daughter, Lacey Wells; son-in-law, David Wells; and his sweet sisters; Mary Kuhn, Barbara Mileson, Kerry Cowgill and his brother-in law KC Cowgill, and his younger brother Kevin Patrick. He is survived by Papa’s cherished grandchildren: Eli Wells, Zebadiah Wells, Isaac Wells, Gabriel Wells, Christian Patrick, Willow Patrick, and Everett Patrick. As well as Papa’s precious babies, his great-grandchildren: Patrick, Lacey, Ophelia and Kalon. If you knew Daniel, you knew that he took pride in his work ridden dirty hands as he always wanted to contribute his part. His hands may be at rest, but the impact of those hands-the engines he fixed, the people he helped and the babies he held will be remembered by those that held him near. Go rest now our faithful loving husband, brother, dad, Papa and friend. We will all deeply miss you. Daniel’s funeral service will be at 10:00 a.m. Saturday, March 7, 2026, at Ulmer Funeral Home in Carthage, Missouri. A visitation will be held from 7:00 to 8:00 p.m. Friday, March 6, 2026.
