Obituary

Ralph Leonard “Ral” Patrick, Jr. passed away on April 21, 2022 surrounded by family at his home in Covington, LA. He was born on August 19, 1960 in New Orleans, LA to the late Ralph Leonard Patrick, Sr. and Jean Shane Patrick.

Ral was the beloved husband of Lisa Melancon Patrick. He was the loving father of Connor, Colin, Anna, and Noah Patrick. He was the brother of Robyn Patrick Guidry, Ryan Patrick (Stephanie), and Rhett Patrick.

Ral was a historian. He remembered everything in vivid detail; stories of his youth and working, but his favorite ones were about his family. He was faith-filled and made time each day to pray and glorify the Lord. Ral continued the legacy of his father when he opened his own Pat’s Seafood in 1989. He put so much of himself into his business that he made it look easy. He illustrated a life of service and gratitude to family, friends, and the community. He was loved by many and will be greatly missed.

Relatives and friends are invited to the Funeral Mass at St. Peter Catholic Church, 125 W. 19th Avenue, Covington, LA 70433 on Monday, May 2, 2022 at 12:00 Noon with visitation from 10:00 AM until Mass time. Interment will follow the Mass at St. Joseph Abbey Cemetery, St. Benedict, LA.
