Let the family know you care by sharing this tribute
Patrick John Searcy born December 26, 1961 died January 23, 2020 (he wanted to remind everyone he was 58 not 59). A visitation will be held 5:00 – 7:00 PM, Wednesday, January 29, 2020 at Heartland Cremation & Burial Society, 6113 Blue Ridge Blvd, Raytown, Missouri. A memorial will follow at 7:00 PM. Graveside services will be held 11:00 AM, Thursday, January 30, 2020 at Floral Hills East Cemetery, Lee’s Summit, Missouri. Pat died of Small Cell Prostate Cancer. Apparently, less than 1% of all prostate cancer patients actually have prostate cancer turn into this. He would probably say he earned his 1%ter patch for his motorcycle jacket. We all know how he liked to tell stories.
Pat would like to let you know that his work here is done. He finally gets to take that trip he’s been planning for months now. This is a trip from which he will not be returning. This trip comes with a reunion with family and friends he has not seen in a long time. His new mission takes him to a wonderful place where he will be socializing, bowling, and drinking beer to his heart’s content. Laughter and love are guaranteed. Beer is cold, and you never get served the “mean beer”. The rivers are always perfect for canoeing; the lumber for his projects are never bowed; and the smoker always produces the best meat. As a super bonus, there are no smoke detector batteries that ever need replaced at 2:00 AM.
He left detailed instructions for his wife and children to carry on his mission here, which has now been completed. Low adherence to this instruction will not be tolerated. We bet money he’s telling the master carpenter just how to do things.
We want to let him know that he did a great job and wish him a safe journey. We will remember his smile, his warmth, his energy, his love for life, family and friends, but also, colleagues and clients, many of whom over time also became friends. He worked very hard all his life and gave his time generously up until the very end. He made a difference in the lives of many. Patrick leaves behind all of us (his words not ours). He also leaves behind his pain, worry, and sadness. We invite you to join us and celebrate together.

Pat you were the best of the best. Always made me laugh and who I loved gossiping with (I asked God for forgiveness on Sundays). ?? You should be here now, but I’d like to think you were so special God needed you home early to brighten heaven. ??
The world lost an incredible person. Patrick Searcy will truly be missed. I remember the first time I met him, it was later in the evening and I heard a knock at the door, being new to the neighborhood I was hesitant to answer. Shortly after answering, I knew I would like my new neighbor! In the few times I’ve spent with him I learned he was a jokester. He loved and cherished his wife. Their love for one another is truly inspiring. He was a very intelligent man. He loved to give us his input whether it was when he came over to help us with our internet, talking to him about finances or his ideas for Dan’s business or giving us tips on smoking meat! My heart hurts for his friends and family but the impressions he left here will never be forgotten. Shelly, we are here to help in any way we can.
I still can’t believe he’s gone. Pat was truly one of a kind. He was genuine, caring, smart as hell, and so funny. I am so sorry for the void that will be felt without him here.
My condolences to his family are sent from my heart. Pat always made me smile when I would stop by his dealership. He always made me feel welcomed and supported. I will always remember at a dealer show in Las Vegas after I had given a presentation the moderator asked if there were any questions, Pat yelled out “Chuck Ogle is the best”, made everyone laugh! Thanks Pat, we’ll have another beer together one day! Peace!
What a cool dude! He will be missed!
Patrick is the BESTest and loyal friend. I am so blessed to have had Patrick and Shelly as neighbors! and thank God we were neighbors! Watching them…. one would start a sentence and the other would finish it, so in tune were they as a beloved team. To you, nothing was impossible… and when I needed advice or help, you were right there with a smile, encouragement and instructions… or the tractor pulling me out of the mud yet again! I so MISS you but know your reward is great in Heaven as your heart was full of love, kindness, compassion for others … humans and animals. Thank you for the cherished memories, I’ll see you again!!!
Besides fun childhood memories with my cousin, Pat became a very special part of adulthood. Pat’s kindness and consideration contributed to Dan’s career. His friendship was heartfelt and unconditional. There was always laughter and good conversation. When we spoke awhile back even though many years had passed, Pat was still as friendly as ever. He has been in our prayers and is now at peace. God rest his soul and God bless his family.
So very good to have known you Patrick through the Raytown Chamber – wish I had known you so much earlier in life! Thank you for your friendship. Your fellow Raytown neighbor and Chamber friend…
Pat you will truly be missed. You were a visionary and man of action in a time of when everyone else seemed to stand still. I will miss the long meaningful conversations and your laughter. Rest in peace my friend.
Dear Vicky, John and Nick,
So sorry for your loss! I know you loved your brother and uncle and will miss him greatly. Praying your days are filled with precious memories that bring more smiles than tears!!
Pat, although we knew you only through your work, we were touched by your sincerity, the pride you took in your business, and your fierce determination to do what you thought was fair and right. Happy journeys until we meet again. Can’t wait to hear your stories.
We are so sorry to hear about Pat’s Passing- I knew Pat as a young boy at St. Regis Catholic Church – He was a Boy Scout there and played football, His Mom and Dad were great people and his sister Vicky was my best nurse ever. Even though people you known people many years ago you never forget the good ones. Pat was one of those and I am sure he will be truly missed.
God Bless Him His Wife and Family. Sincerely Sam & Patty Mc Connell
While I was closer to Pat’s brother Michael and his sister Vicky I do remember Pat fondly. One of the terrible truths of getting old is hearing about the death of a friend.
