Max Patterson Obituary: He was a child of God first and a fisher of men. He was a gospel preacher and a Bible class teacher. He was a faithful son and a loving brother. He was a father to many but the husband to only one wife for over 66 years. He was the man who laid the first foundations for who I am and what I would eventually become in this world. He was many things to many people, but to me, he was just my dad and someone I grew to appreciate more and more with each passing year of my life.
Last night, (Friday, September 10th) at the age of 87, Max Patterson left this life for the one he had proclaimed to others for decades in so many pulpits across this land. His wife and each of his children were by his side during his last hours, and although He will be sorely missed, he will not be forgotten. His legacy of a long, Christian life dedicated to the word of God lives on in his children, his grandchildren, and the countless lives he impacted for the cause of Christ over 65 years of sharing the good news of Jesus.
My sister was the last person to talk to my dad before he slipped into unconsciousness on Thursday. After a short talk and as she was walking out of his room, “he raised his hand and said, “See you in Heaven!”” I love you, Dad, and miss you so much already! I, too, look forward to the day I will see you again in that beautiful home called Heaven. Until then, I will strive to walk in your footsteps as you walked through your life in the footsteps of the Lord. “But now he has died; why should I fast? Can I bring him back again? I will go to him, but he will not return to me.” (2 Samuel 12:23)
