Charles Gilliam, Leadership Prince William: “It is with sadness that I must relay the news of the passing of Patrick King. Early Wednesday morning, Patrick passed away at home in the company of the love of his life, Rebecca.”
“Patrick’s contributions to Leadership Prince William are profound, yet his charitable works reach far beyond our circle. Many non-profit boards had the benefit of his passion and wisdom and will enjoy the results of his creativity in problem-solving and innovative solutions for years to come. His generosity extended to every person he encountered.”
