His decision to serve in the United States Army came as no surprise to anyone who knew him.

He was assigned to the 1st Battalion, 17th Infantry Regiment, 5th Stryker Brigade Combat Team, 2nd Infantry Division. On October 27, 2009, Patrick was killed in the Arghandab Valley, Afghanistan when his vehicle struck an improvised explosive device (IED).
