Patrick "Pat" Royse, 51, of Clearwater, Florida, passed away July 7th, 2008 at home.
Pat gave of himself to his family, friends, veterans and fallen heroes. He was a Navy vet who volunteered to paint fallen heroes' portraits, and donated them to the families for free. He was also an active Patriot Guard Rider who felt honored whenever he served one of our fallen heroes and their families.
Pat was a passionate musician and artist, and some of his paintings can be found on his website, www.PatrickRoyse.com. He deeply enjoyed beauty in the simple things in life.
Pat's family has invited the Patriot Guard Riders to participate in a Celebration of Life with them. Although this will not be a flag line mission, the family will truly appreciate us being with them as they celebrate Pat's life.
Final Itinerary
Staging location:
Friendship United Methodist Church, rear parking lot
2039 Druid Rd. E.
Clearwater, Fl. 33764
Stage: 12:00

Mission location and itinerary to be announced.__________________________________________________________________________________________
With sadness I announce we have lost another PGR brother and a veteran of the United States Navy. Patrick Royse of Largo left our shores for the last time on his final voyage home. Patrick was a "Painter of Heroes". He painted portraits of those heroes who fell in action and presented the portraits to the heroes' families. He stood flag lines to honor our heroes. Patrick will be missed.
Respectfully and sadly submitted,

Our sincere condolences to the family and friends of Patrick Royse, Navy Veteran & PGR Member. May God help you though this difficult time and sorrow. He is
one of America's Heroes that will never be forgotten.
Rest Safely and Securely in God's Loving Arms, Patrick.
Going home, going home,
I'm just going home.
Quiet-like, slip away-
I'll be going home.
It's not far, just close by;
Jesus is the Door;
Work all done, laid aside,
Fear and grief no more.
Friends are there, waiting now.
He is waiting, too.
See His smile! See His hand!
He will lead me through.
Morning
Star lights the way;
Restless dream all done;
Shadows gone, break of day,
Life has just begun.
Every tear wiped away,
Pain and sickness gone;
Wide awake there with Him!
Peace goes on and on!
Going home, going home,
I'll be going home.
See the Light! See the Sun!
I'm just going home.

Another Mother asked President Truman, "Why did my Child have to die in Korea?" Another Mother asked President F.D. Roosevelt,"Why did my Child have to die at Iwo Jima ?" Another Mother asked President W. Wilson, "Why did my Child have to die on the battlefield of France ?" Yet another Mother asked President Lincoln,"Why did my Child have to die at Gettysburg ?" And yet another Mother asked President G.Washington, "Why did my Child have to die near Valley Forge?" Long, long ago a Mother (Mary) asked, "Heavenly Father, why did my Child have to die on a cross outside Jerusalim?" All the answers are so near the same. One died to save our Souls and the others died to protect our Freedoms. |

| Lord, please comfort and grant your peace that surpasses all human understanding to the family and friends of Mr. Patrick Royse, United States Navy Veteran and Patriot Guard Rider. Amen. This brave man answered the call of his country and his sacrifice will not be forgotten. Take heart in that there are many Americans, many who have never met him, honoring Mr. Royse for his courage and his service to this nation. There are also many Americans, and again many who do not know Patrick or your family, praying for you right now. Call upon the Lord and He will strengthen you during this time of great loss. 1 Samuel 7:5...I will pray for you unto the Lord. |
