Upon retiring, Mr. Patterson quickly stayed busy working as a cattle farmer, driving a school bus, working with M&W Butane and later raising goats. He was an active member of Nettleton First United Methodist Church.
Very loving, he was a devoted husband, father, grandfather and great-grandfather. He was passionate about children, being outdoors and listening to Gospel and Country music. His legacy will continue to live on through his family.
