Patrick James Dennigan of Las Vegas passed away on Tuesday, January 22, 2019.

Patrick was the beloved husband of Jing Wen.

Born in Brooklyn, New York, he was the son of the late Veronica and James Dennigan.

Patrick was referred to as “Paddy” and his sense of humor and mischief laid the foundation for his early years.  If Paddy was being chased by a neighborhood kid wearing a full pizza pie, he managed to get away and his family didn’t think much of it.   

“Paddy” was our Dad, a Dad to me; Erin, Patrick and our Kevin.  Paddy was easy to love; he was a kind and giving Dad. 

All of our lives took a turn when we lost our Kevin on September 16, 2017.  However, Patrick was still able to hear Kevin’s voice and that brought him comfort. Their reunion must have been glorious, and his family was so comforted by that.

Patrick served in the Marine’s during the Vietnam War and then worked as a project estimator in New Jersey, North Carolina, Pennsylvania and finally Las Vegas.  He worked hard and gave his family a happy and comfortable childhood. 

Patrick was a fun-loving guy, he was always laughing and making jokes.  He had a great laugh and thought that his children were some of the funniest people in the world.  That was a gift.  He was also witty and sarcastic but at the same time was sensitive.  Patrick had a truly great personality. He was also an animal lover and leaves behind his beloved Irish Terrier, Seamus.  Patrick enjoyed taking long walks with Seamus as he always loved and appreciated the beauty of nature. He was also a talented musician who played the mandolin and guitar.  His love of music was something that he passed down to his family; no one from our generation can say that they saw Chuck Berry and Johnny Cash play live as children, but we can.  He gave us music as an outlet, an expression of all things, and as a tool to feed our souls.  Our way of honoring him now always includes the Rolling Stones, Van Morrison, Creedence Clearwater Revival and many more. Patrick loved unconditionally and was never shy of saying so, one of his final texts to his daughter was “We love like our dogs do; unconditionally”.  He is and will always be missed by his family. Patrick’s love can be summarized in a quote. “I love thee to every breadth and depth and height my soul can reach...” 

Patrick is survived by his stepson, Steven of Las Vegas, NV.  Also surviving are Patrick James II and his grandson, Sean of Hillsborough, NJ.   Additionally, he is survived by his grandson, Jack Dennigan of Flemington, NJ, as well as his daughter, son in law and granddaughters: Erin, Eric, Shannon and Bridget Pirog of Newtown, PA.   Also surviving are his brother and sister in law; James and Connie Dennigan Long Island, NY and his sister Mary Burke and brother in law Jimmy of Freehold, NJ.  Patrick leaves behind his nieces and nephews Jimmy, John, Chrissy, Kerry and Matt. He will always be remembered as the fun uncle.
