My heart aches for his family. His smile lit up the gym. One of the truly nice people I have known.

Pat your sense of humor will be missed. Your large presence will be missed next to my short stature. You made a sister feel small in the best way. I loved the way you could touch the ceiling in my house. I was glad you made the trip to say hello to everyone in the New Year. Who knew it would also be good bye. I will miss you. Love you and keep watch over us.

A unique figure in the lives of many, Pat is missed, but will not be forgotten. Much love to the Filien family, and his St. Rose and basketball families that shared in the light that Patrick brought us. It is incumbent upon all of us to keep that light shining in our hearts, thoughts and actions to all. Love you big man.

My deepest condolences to the Filien family. Big Pat was my teammate at F.I.T. and I will never forget his smile and his jokes. Somehow he touched the lives of a lot of people. He will be deeply missed. Rest in Peace my F.I.T Tiger brother for life.

I don't remember exactly how Pat and I met at St. Rose, but I know that we were fast friends as soon as we did. There are few memories from my college years that aren't somehow linked to Pat. And the fact that we were able to maintain that friendship over the years is something that I'll always hold dear. I'm honored to have called him my friend.
Tiffani, Marcus, Lauren: I send you all my thoughts and prayers. I'm so sorry very for your loss and can't begin to imagine the tremendous hole this must leave in all your hearts.

To Pat's family and friends, my deepest sympathies. I think the whole world is mourning the loss of Pat with you. It's hard to think that some one so genuine and kind could be gone so soon. Thank you for sharing him with all of us. I've heard him referred to as a 'gentle giant' and i think that's the truest sentiment- he was larger than life (in height and personality), but also in heart too. I used to love watching him play basketball at St Rose or see him pop in Mass Media Class when i was a Freshman. He was funny and inspirational- but most importantly he was all we could ever hope to be in this world. He was an amazing person and his legacy will outlive those of us he left behind here on earth. I will pray for your continued strength during this difficult time. May God bless you and fill your hearts with warm, loving memories of Pat.
