Patrick was born October 10, 1977, in Clinton, Iowa, the son of Allan and Phyllis (Bormann) Duhme. He attended Preston High School and graduated with the Class of 1996. After school, Patrick began working at the Preston Meat Locker where he was employed for 17 years.
Patrick will be remembered as a nice, caring, and fun loving man. He was a cheerful uncle that adored teasing his nieces and nephews, and a loving son who took the time to care for his mother. He was an avid sports fan and could be caught rooting for the Iowa Hawkeyes or Chicago Cubs, or watching a NASCAR race. He also enjoyed planning high school class reunions with his former classmates. Most of all, Patrick loved spending time with his family and friends.
Patrick is survived by his mother, Phyllis; two sisters, Wendy (Larry) Noe of Independence, Iowa, and Karry (Troy) Russell of Saukville, Wisconsin; a brother, Chris Duhme of Preston; five nieces and nephews, Brenna, Nathan, Anna, Carlee, and Case; and many uncles, aunts, and cousins. Patrick was preceded in death by his grandparents, Victor and Katherine Bormann, and Raymond and Arlene Duhme; and three uncles, Lester Bormann, Alex Bormann, and Ronald Duhme.
