Karen, Alecia, Bree & the entire Langan family…..you have our most sincere condolences. It’s with deep sadness that these words need to be said today.
Pat was just a flat out tremendous individual….we loved that guy!!
He exemplified what living a good and faithful life with God in the heart truly meant. He carried himself with honor and courage.
He left behind a legacy of great works for those who knew him, to relish and cherish….and to build on. He possessed a great gift of affecting people in such a positive manner.
Take comfort in knowing that Pat achieved the ultimate goal, he will live with the Father and walk the streets of gold for all eternity. We all selfishly wish that it wasn’t so soon.
We do agree about one statement though……on July 4th, those were some epic water fights that took place! If you were there, you got soaked……period….no one was safe, lol. Not to mention lighting the arsenal of fireworks when it got dark. Great times for sure!
Pat will most certainly be missed in this world.

Pat was one of my favorite drivers for LPS. He did his work in a faithful, calm and unassuming way. We talked about his faith and I knew when it came time, God would absolutely greet him with a “well done good and faithful servant! He will be missed by all who knew him!!

Karen, Alecia, Nick and Bree, and Bryan we are so incredibly sad for you, and everyone who knew Pat. I hold many fond memories growing up playing in that playhouse in your backyard, bbqs and family-friend get togethers. Pat was one of the most generous, kind, loving and funny people I have ever met. He will be greatly missed and forever loved! We are praying the peace and comfort of God over you and the rest of your family in the days to come. We love you BIG!

I had the pleasure of working with Pat when he was the State’s Recycling Economic Development Advocate and we served together on the Board of Directors of the Nebraska State Recycling Association. He touched many lives. He was quick to smile and had a welcoming heart. He will be missed. You are in my thoughts and prayers

My deepest sympathies to the Langan family. I was lucky to work with Pat and called him my friend. As I unwrapped my Christmas ornaments this year i was reminded of Pat and the ornament that he gave me. Truly a blessed man.
