Katylynn Howard Patton

Katylynn’s first and forever Love, Jesus, brought her to her eternal home on January 11, 2017; she passed peacefully in her sleep.

Katylynn’s unconditional love and joy despite suffering allowed so many to see and experience our God’s immense and also unconditional love. God blessed our family when Katylynn joined us to become a Patton on May 26, 2010. In the time that she was loaned to us, we enjoyed together camping trips, countless road trips, sing-a-longs, hours at the orchestra concerts, adapted skiing, challenger baseball and any get-togethers with family and friends.

Her memories survive with her mother, Kate Patton; sister, Shataeya Patton; grandparents, John and Eileen Patton; great-grandmother, Jane O’Connor; Aunts, Helen and Ruth Patton; Uncles, Matthew (Holly), Michael (Toni), David (Michelle), Joseph (Katie); cousins, Moira, Eli, Colleen, Bridget, Seamus, Kieren, Rory, Maeve, Mya, Gabriella, Elaina, and Penelope; a huge extended family; close friend, Kallan Kosmach and so many other friends that brought richness to her life. Thank you to so many that were on Katylynn’s “team”.

We will miss her immensely but look forward to the ultimate party with her in heaven. She’ll be cheering us on as we journey towards our heavenly home.
