Patrick Neal McPeek, 32, of Tatum, TX, passed away on Friday afternoon, Nov. 9, 2018, in Longview. He was born on Feb. 20, 1986, in Corsicana, TX to Ronald Neal and Gay Lynn Zoch McPeek. He graduated from Tatum High School with the class of 2004. Patrick attended Kilgore College where he earned an Associate of Arts and an Associate of Applied Science Degree in Radiologic Technology. Patrick chose this career because he wanted to be able to make a difference in peoples' lives. Even when a patient was being stubborn about an X-Ray, he had a sweet way of getting them to change their disposition. "Come on now, 'Miss Jones', you know you have to sit up so we can get your picture." "Well, okay, I'm not gonna do it for them, but I'll do it for you." It made him so happy to make someone feel better. This love and heart of compassion only comes from God. Patrick, in his innocent trust, asked Jesus to come into his heart when he was 5 years old. Since that day, his heart and his sweet spirit have reflected the love and light of his Savior. Always his deepest desire. This incredible person, our son, had an unbelievable way of lighting up a room, making people laugh, and making them feel loved and encouraged. Thank you, God, for the most precious gift of our son, Patrick and for so many precious memories to treasure. There are no words to describe how he and his amazing hugs are missed and how much we love him. My love, I can't wait to see you again. Patrick was a member of the Church of the Living Waters and attended Grace Christian Fellowship. He was preceded in death by his grandparents, Otto M. Zoch, Reda M. Conklin, Sandra Zoch, and Charles R. Conklin.
