Patrick Gary Memmott

Patrick Gary Memmott was 58 years young. Born October 13, 1963, to Arthur Eugene Memmott and Maurine Verdell Kjelstrom.

Patrick’s passion was driving trucks; he got that from his dad. He went on the road with his dad at a very young age. He drove tow truck for 30 plus years, starting with Elite Towing, then Kearns Towing and last but also the best, Advanced Towing. Patrick made friends everywhere he went. The pull for the open road overtook Patrick to follow in his dad’s footsteps after his heart attack in 2014. He started his hotshot company so we could travel and make a living while he followed his dream. Times were hard and the truck we used (his baby) needed a lot of repairs, so we closed the business. Patrick continued his dream by going to work for Pride Transport for almost 2 years. He drove for 168 trucking. He last worked for Rapco Transport like his older brother, Ron. Always missing being home with the kids and grandchildren, they were his world. In every picture, he’s holding, playing, or working and teaching each one of them.

He married his first wife, Jill Deon Crawford in 1994 and had four children, Tasha (Alex Trujillo), Kaela (Michael) Mortenson, Devan and Darian Memmott. In 2000 he met his soulmate, his “everything” as he put it, Christine. They married in 2005 and put 2 families together to include CJ, (Lindy Ovard) Barto, Timmothy Barto, Tacie (Adam) Hunter, David Rice, Toniesha (Jake Powers), totaling 9 children. Patrick had 17 grandchildren that he loved very much. They would climb in his lap or follow him to Papa’s garage where toy fixes are free.

Patrick is survived by his wife Christine, 9 children, 16 grandchildren, siblings Thomas (Wendy), Bonny (Tom) McGarry, Mike (Kelly), Connie, Sandra (Patrick) Carver and sister-in-law Mary Ellen Memmott.
He is preceded in death by his parents, grandparents, first wife Jill, oldest brother Clayton, sister Susan, brother Ronald, sister-in-law Jeanie, grandson Xander, many aunts, uncles and close friends.
