Patrick is survived by
his aunt, Carol (Kerkes) Wilson, and eleven loving cousins. He was preceded in
death by his mother Evelyn (Kerkes) DiMare, his
father William “Jimmy” McGovern, his sister Donna McGovern,
his aunt Audrey (Kerkes) Velgot, his Uncle Ronald Kerkes, and his cousin,
Stanley Velgot.
Patrick was born on
November 20, 1963, in Boston, Massachusetts to Evelyn Kerkes and William
“Jimmy” McGovern. He graduated from New Smyrna Beach High School in New Smyrna
Beach, Florida in 1982. Following High School Patrick joined the United States
Navy to serve his country. Since 1991, Patrick worked as a stagehand with the
International Alliance of Theatrical Stage Employees.
Patrick had many dear
friends through his work, all of whom would agree he was a kind soul, with a
sparkle in his eye and love in his heart. He loved New Smyrna Beach and spent
countless hours at the beach often with his beloved pup, Memphis.
