Patrick, 30, of Ludington and formerly of Hart, passed into the arms of his Heavenly Father on Saturday, April 27, 2013. He was born in San Antonio, Texas, but was raised and graduated from Hart.
A very talented and energetic young man, he pursued many interests, especially music and computer skills. He played several instruments well. With friends in Hart High school, he formed a band and they competed at the Muskegon Area Schools Showcase Competition for two years.
Pat loved skateboarding and skiing as well.
He attended several colleges, obtaining his B.S degree in Computer Networking from Ferris State University.
While in high school, the shadows of depression began to emerge in his life, and he struggled with its demons until they finally won. Those who got to know him were impressed by his gentle demeanor, quick wit, and sense of humor. They will miss his sly, gracious grin.
Patrick is survived by his parents, Theresa and Robert Steen of Hart; his aunts, Janine Spiegoski of Detroit, Rose Riley of Owosso, Christine Spiegoski of Muskegon, and Judy Steen of Wixom; his birth father M. El Ammari; birth sister, Rose El Ammari; birth brothers, John, Jimmy and Michael El Ammari, all of San Antonio, Texas; and numerous cousins.
He was preceded in death by his grandparents, Rose and Anthony Rusin of San Antonio; Zeta Steen of Ludington; Casimer and Antoinette Spiegoski of Hart; his birth mother, Jeanette El Ammari of San Antonio; his aunt, Janet Steen of Ludington; and his uncles, Cas Spiegoski Jr. of Shelby and V. Doug Riley of Owosso.
The Mass of Christian Burial for Patrick was held on Thursday, May 2, 2013 at St. Gregory Catholic Church in Hart, with Fr. Tom Bolster officiating.
