Patrick Runchey was born on August 6, 1969, to the union of Robert and June Runchey in Marshall, Minnesota. He was the 9th sibling of 10 children. After graduating from Marshall Senior High in 1987, Patrick continued his education at St. Thomas University, earning a bachelor's degree in accounting in 1990. Patrick later became a certified CPA and embarked on a successful career in finance. He worked at PSC, Coach America, and Cat Tech. He finished his career as a Global Oil Condition Monitoring (OCM) Manager at SGS, where he worked for 15 years. Everyone who knew Patrick recognized his strong work ethic. On November 4, 2000, he married Jill Noster and embraced Mason as his own son. On February 14, 2003, and April 26, 2006, he welcomed his two beautiful daughters, Emmy, and Addy, who were the light of his life. Committed to his family above all else, he poured his heart into their happiness, and everyone who knew him could see the immense love he had for them. For Patrick, there was truly nothing he couldn't accomplish. He loved to take on projects and enjoyed doing all maintenance and repairs himself. Patrick enjoyed going camping with his family, adding to his gun collection, building arcade video machines, all while spending time with his family and friends. He was an avid traveler for work and leisure. During his travels Patrick explored over 20 countries across 5 continents. Patrick will be forever missed and unconditionally loved by all who knew him.
