RIP warrior!

Damn that was quite the exit. RIP Patteau.

Damn it.

RIP

It always amazes me how this place affects people in real life. A lot of good people on this site. Best wishes to his friends and family.

Aww, man. Sad to hear, but expected this was the case based on his post. He wasn't the type to let things drive him away voluntarily. I haven't been in D.C. much in recent years. Back when I was we definitely disagreed on things and he was one of the few who didn't get personal about it. Prayers to his family and friends. Wish I'd gotten to meet him. We need to have more tailgates so I can meet a few more of you before you die.

Bummer. RIP patteeu.

I have probably had more discussions and arguments with patteeu than 90% of people on this forum. We disagreed on about the same percentage too. But he would always defend me and others from people disagreeing in a disrespectful manner. I never met him in RL (I have met a select few of you). Reminds me that even when we disagree on petty political BS, when you actually get to know people, you probably have more in common than you think. Would also laugh and rep people on the opposite side of the political aisle if he thought it was actually funny. Class guy.

Holy crap. So sorry to read this.

Man, he was always cool to me... I really liked him. RIP...

Wait, what?

Oh man, this is so awful... at a loss for words here

RIP, Gene

We were friends for a long time, but that changed a few years ago. I really regret that now.

So sorry to hear. RIP

This truly makes me sad. I agreed with Pat most of the time and he was such a good dude. I would have loved to have met him. I've been fortunate enough to meet CPers at different events and it sure helps make you become more civilized on the forum when you put a face with the name. I think he understood that more than anyone. We should probably all strive to be more like Patty, most of us, as you know, are Chief fans first and united by the pain and joy of following this team. Now that Arrowhead will be close to normal this fall, I hope to meet many of you and raise a glass to Patty and enjoy your company, regardless of your ideology. RIP Patty.

Agreed - the dude was amazing about not getting personal.

This whole forum would be so much better off if the DC forum never existed imo. Half the forum wouldn't hate the other half, and I bet there would still be a lot of IRL meetups.

You can have both... Patty understood that, I have met folks who are the opposite of me politically at Chiefs events and we had a great time. Hopefully we can have a tailgate at Arrowhead this year in honor of Patty and other lost CP Members.

Such a class act, and wonderful role model

DC, and this place in general just lost a genuine icon... I'm simply crushed
